Oh help..MoE related

[Kimmie]

Trying to run MoE...I've switched to Windows 95 compatability mode but keep getting this APPCRASH error when I try to run the game.

Any idea how to solve it?

[B'rrr]

You could try installing Virtual PC and then installing win98 on it, that should work. I haven't tried it myself though.

Is no one going to ask WHY you're trying to run MoE?

[B'rrr]

I did so in another thread! or at least telling her she is silly to do so.

[Tolin]

C'mon, guys...  MoE wasn't THAT bad.  It wasn't traditional KQ, definitely, but once you get used to the slightly awkward control scheme it's a fairly solid game.

That said, I -still- mock Connor every time I go back to try and play the game.

'tis beyond my reach.

[crayauchtin]

No, it's a good game (as long as you ignore some of the graphics... like, the graphics for fire? There is NO excuse for that!) it's just not a good King's Quest.

And Connor annoys me. Greatly.

[waltzdancing]

I have fun with Connor. Those goofy quotes, and how Connor reacts really makes me laugh. For a game that was made inn 1998, the graphics are excusable because nobody really knew what to do, it was brand new. He can be viewed as a guinea pig.

I'm now imagining Connor as a literal guinea pig going around in armor fighting monsters...

[Mysteria]

I'm playing it again now, Im in the Dimension of Death. It runs in XP.

I never played MoE.  I'm more and more convinced this was a good decision the more I read...

It was a fun Adventure game. People just don't like it because it didn't fit well (at all) in the King's Quest world. My sisters and I had lots of fun playing it actually.

[crayauchtin]

Tage, you're dismissed.

It was not an adventure game, that was the problem with it. It was an action game.

[Kimmie]

It was very very different to all of the others in the series...but I loved that it was different, it was the first game I'd played like that (with all the fighting and monsters yet still trying to solve puzzles) and I guess it's why I liked WoW so much.
Plus his voice made me burst into giggles...and there were some good easter eggs that were quite adult-humour related if you knew what to do  

"What's this? A Celestial Gloooooobe?"

and I'm gonna agree with Tage...I ENJOYED MoE, so sue meh (please note, I also enjoyed the other games just as much...even though kq 3 annoyed me with that darn Mananan! )

[Tage7]

Tage, you're dismissed.

Blah. To be fair, it was an Action Adventure game. Neither of us win. And you can't dismiss me. Muahahahaha!

[B'rrr]

Yarr, we had this talk before.

MoE ain't a bad game perhaps, just shouldn't be called Kings Quest! 

[Rosella]

Honestly, I played a bit of it and was pleasantly surprised. It definitely is a true action-adventure. It's a pretty glitchy game and the graphics are kind of upsetting, but I didn't mind it. The only thing that I was really disturbed by was the fact that you could behead the chickens and watch them run around. It was really gruesome and somewhat terrifying.

I know I was able to run it on WinXP, but it's been a while. I haven't tried on Vista or Win7.

And I didn't mind the "action" part, but that was probably only because I was running it in "god" mode.

[I_am_so_nifty]

MoE was a good game, with plenty of puzzles, but it was just too different from the other King's Quest. I mean, my family and I had fun playing it--although, that might have been more for all of the memorable lines.

"'Tis beyond my reach!"

Ooh, and also, if you drank enough water, Connor would burp.

OMG I know, I felt so guilty when I killed a chicken by accident! Although killing the monster who was in the outside toilet was fun to do
When the zombies came out the floor for the first time I screamed and got my friend to kill them 

[Farquhar]

Tis truly a glitchy game! I ran into a nasty bug once in which my only choice was to start over. I've since acquired a patch that supposedly fixes it, but I've yet to play it since....

They were CREEPY! I still remember that breathing....
