Looking for KQ games

William Wallace · June 14, 2003, 09:44:11 PM

I will make this post as vague as possible. Does anyone know where I can download a free full copy of KQ5 - KQ7 with speech sound? (By "KQ" I mean "kilo and quarts").

My aim screen name is "Shinedown19", please contact me.

Feel like I'm trying to buy weed or somthing.

Not a clue. Your best bet would be to buy the games instead. Then you can feel the full satisfaction of an empty pocket, and the knowledge that you support the KQ series

Oh, and quarts are one weird measurement. We don't do quarts.

I paid for KQ5-8, and "borrowed" KQ1-4 from a friend. The only way I would share the higher quality KQ games is if you lost a copy. True, I probably borrow other games extensively, but I pay for the games that I really respect.

Besides, if you go to a computer show (assuming they do have them in your area) the games sell at about 10 bucks apiece now.

If you want to try to buy it cheap try Ebay. I got a KQ6 from there since lent my original version to my friend and never got it back. It cost me 8$ with shipping.

I had all the KQ games a looooong time ago. I really dont agree with pirating games, especielly KQ. I do want to support the series, but it is so old and hard to find, I just think they would stay alive if we could trade for free.

What I really dont understand is how is it legal for people to make profit from selling them on Ebay yet it is illegal to trade for free.

If I could get it from Sierra they would use my $10 to produce another shooting game ha.

Even I don't get that, and I'm a bookkeeper!

There is a King's Quest Collection, but I am not sure if that is still being sold much.

I bought the King's Quest collection... But cos I'm dumb and lost my KQ6, I'ma contct the company I bought the game from, and buy a KQ6... If my mum will let me!

When you buy a game on eBay, the seller must send you all disks, instruction manuals, and packaging that came with the game, and he is not permitted to keep a copy of the game for himself.

It is not illegal to trade or give away a game for free, provided you give all the disks, instruction manuals, and packaging to the recipient, and provided that you do not keep a copy for yourself.

(If the game it out of print, I think it ought to be legal to copy it freely, but that is another matter.)
