Neat! And yes, the original KQs are worth checking out, as are the other fanmade remakes of some of them by AGDI and Infamous Adventures.

Hey :D
This feels like the first day of school :P
Real name Faith, and I've played KQ 1-4, and 6 and hope to just skip to silver lining (just because I don't think I can load many more of these games onto my poor laptop :S ). My favorites 6 because it was the first one I played (at about 7 mind you) and couldn't get off the first island.  As it is, I revisited 6 a week ago and decided to start playing up from one (talk about a surprise there :D. Though, not as a big a surprise as if I started here, I think :) ). Hope to get playing soon!

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the forums, and lately I have been soaring through all my old favorite Sierra games. Stumbled here because I wanted to try out Silver Lining.

Nice to meet you all :)

H'row,

I was about 3 when we got our first computer (1989ish) and the first games we got were like the Hugo series (Hugo's House of Horror's anyone!?) and some other games like SQ, PQ and of course KQII... and GEES, how I hated them so much!!! Apparently, if you can barely read and spell even less, the games just aren't quite as fun ( I remember having fits, ha!) but alas, watching my older siblings play and learning how to spell myself, I quickly learned my love for puzzle solving. My favorite game genre has pretty much always been adventure games, especially the old KQII era, where you have to type and read everything. Played KQI-VII, never cared to play KQVIII though...
...We must remember that every time the sun sets, it takes a little part of our life with us....

Hi, ladidada. Welcome!

I'm guessing those are musical notes in the text below your avatar? I don't recognize the tune - what is it? ???

Hi!
I'm sold to Sierra On-Line from early 80s. My first game was BC quest for tire or something like that on an Apple II computer.

Since that, I try most of what they created. I do enjoy most all King Quest, Space quest and Leisure suit Larry. They were a big part of my life; I Fall in Love with Rosella and Casima, I try to be a Larry at School using Al Lowe pick up lines and I could pass an hour admiring KQ Boxes (Mosty Rosella) in my local Radio Shack.

My favorite was KQ4 for which I pass too much time reading "You can't do that now" :rofl:

Anyway, I'm Philippe, 33 year-old software designer for a Insurance company. I do enjoy evading myself in a KQx/SQx/LSLx World. I'm more than please to see a sequel for my favorite series!

You people don't care because you're all repressed. :P I, for one, was greatly entertained and amused by his advocating three different types of lubricant and various pills. :P

Hey there!

Im Yaas, just a guy, like most of you grew up with KQ :). They were my first adventure games, so it was pretty darn hard for a boy my age to go through them! Specially if English wasn't your native language :)

So atm I'm downloading the game so thought I should poke around the forums.

I'm 28, Mexican, always been a gamer but since I work all day long I barely play anymore :(

Im a computer geek, Datacenter focused :), kinda bummed Phoenix Online is not hiring SAN / Vmware consultants.... would love to take part in a game development project :P

I'm an avid reader, movie watcher, workaholic, metal-head

I like whiskey, beer only on hot days (like today!), just bought my first new car :D yay! (had used ones before).

I like food!, every weekend I try to go to a different restaurant every time with my gf, be it a 5 star or on the street, doesn't matter :)

Anyway, gotta go buy me some beers while this download finishes......

cya!
