Could we expect any less from you, César?

Can't wait to hear what the King and Queen of Adventure Gaming have to say on TSL!

It's nice to hear that Roberta even took the time to play it. Since She and Ken has pretty much said in the past, that she really doesn't like to play other people's games, and doesn't even really play her own. She would just look briefly at others playing games for her, so she could get ideas for her own games.

She has also been asked what she thought of fan games, and also said the same thing, like "I wish them luck" but I don't really pay much attention".

So you definitely need to feel honored, indeed very honored. That is a rare honor.  :D
Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg

argh... I wanna know! Tell us, tell us! :( Ooh, or better, video interview with Roberta actually playing the game and commenting? Yeah? Yeah?

Did they play the whole thing or just the first episode?

Ooh, I can't wait to see what they thought!
This is Nifty, Royal Heir.

I'm like, an adult now or something? Sounds fake, but okay.

Cez

It is indeed an honor!!! We are ecstatic!

They played through the whole of Episode 1. They want to play the other episodes as soon as they become available! :D

Here's a couple of excerpt from Ken: "Roberta is playing it now .. she seems to be smiling!" and  "We are amazed that your group has done this!"

Roberta wrote two full paragraphs on it. We'll share with you soon! :D

I'm hoping you are the catalyst, and inspire her to get back into making games.  ;D. She needs to pick up that crown again ("Queen of Adventure Games")... Before someone steals it, ;).

So what if I am, huh? Anyways, I work better when I'm drunk. It makes me fearless! If I see a bad guy, I'll just point my sword at him and saaaaaaaaaay, "Hey! Bad guy! You're not s'posed to be here! Go home or I'll stick you with my sword 'til you go, 'Ouch! I'm dead!' Ah-ha-ha!" Ha-ha. *hic* See? Ain't no one gonna be messin' wit' ol', Benny!

Short of the Adventure Game genre being fully resurrected (one can dream, right?), I don't think Roberta will ever have that competition.

Either way, I hope you upload what she said soon - it really is amazing to know that the Williamses took the time to play TSL!

They told me it was the worst game they ever played and that I shouldn't even bother downloading it.  They said, I quote "It's free for a reason."  

;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Yeah Right!  I'm sure they loved it.

I don't know Jane Jensen is still designing adventure games. If it turns out to be good, she may become a new Queen :suffer: Of course whe'll have to become prolific. Actually come to think of it I think she has been described as the "queen of adventure games" by some reviewers in the past, back when she was working for Sierra.

I think there are plenty of kings and queens of Adventure games in in the past, and present. You'll find some reviews back in the day claiming "Lucasarts was the king of adventure games/gaming." Suppose it just depends on people's opinions and tastes.  :suffer: :suffer: :suffer: :suffer:

However, the thing is we need to flatter Roberta out of her sabbatical, and get her to ascend to the throne of Empress of Adventure Gaming  ;).

I'm happy for Jane Jensen to be an Empress of Adventure Gaming - she did a great job in making KQ6 a timeless game along with Roberta.
