Jason Mumford (jason.mumford@kq9.org) a.k.a. racx_00 is now creating our Weekly Polls, so I thought I'd pick an interesting one to start with.  If you have an idea for a great poll, feel free to e-mail Jason.  :)

Think hard for this poll and please do not vote for one from a game you have not played.  :P

KQ7.

Assuming you're talking about the original KQ1.

Labrinyth from KQ5. Although, it was luck more than anything. I just wandered around until I stumbled on something interesting - I'm amazed I got through it that easily ;D

I can't remember the dragon scale one so I'm going with the Labryinth too.

I just kept clicking in the shadowish areas and eventually got through it without even using a map.  XB

Some of the puzzles up there, I saw my brother do first, so I can't really judge how easy they were.  So, I chose the dragon scale one.  So easy, once I found the dragon. :P

Dragon scale...but, like Q, it was after we found the dragon.  Couldn't figure out how to get the wheel on the cart :suffer:

It wasn't that for me. For some reason, I couldn't find the room with the bridge in it for the *longest* time! :P

Then why is the labrynth on there at all, Neil?  I don't get it--nobody finds that easiest!

Inverted was actually talking about the catacombs from KQ6.  

And as for why?  This poll is designed to make you think, not just pick the obvious choice.  XD

Naming the gnome (KQ1)
Finding Pandora's Box (KQ4)


Used a walkthrough, can't say :-[

Turning Manannan into a cat (KQ3)

Used a walkthrough and it was STILL very difficult! :P

Escaping Hagatha's cave (KQ2)

Can't remember anything difficult about it... but then I can't even remember doing it :S

Labyrinth (KQ5)

Easy enough to figure out, but walking randomly around trying to get somewhere was irritating. Especially if you had the bad sense of trying to map the place like I did :P

Catacombs (KQ6)

Definatly not the easiest... it was a pretty clever puzzle, not to mention the red herrings and copyright protection ;)

Retrieving the Golden Ladle (MoE)

I honestly can't remember that puzzle... but since it's MOE, you probably just have to kill the swamp witch to get it. I was never very good at clicking on things repeatedly until they die, so it couldn't have been the easiest for me... though probably easy enough to figure out :P

Getting the dragon scale (KQ7)

My choice for easiest. I honetly can't remember any part of that game being difficult - the hardest part in getting the scale was to ran there and back through that cave so many times 8)

Yep, definately KQ 7. I don't know who voted for KQ 1 but if that isn't a mistake, then they are a lot cleverer than I am(the difficulty of being that could be discussed, but that's a different topic and thread)

Well, with Tierra's KQ1, you it allows you to spell the name backwards (as opposed to using the backward alphabet as well) so it wasn't that hard.  8)

If I'm not mistaken, the Sierra KQ1 remake also allows that answer 8)

I know it's not on the list but I always didn't like climbing the beanstalk in KQ1 (and the remake)... it looked so simple but proved so very hard  :-[

PS: Hi kiddies, I'm back after a brief absence 8)

Ops.... I thousand pardons... easy hun?

Well then I'd say the Catacombs... KQ6 ruled but that one was fairly easy or I was simply out of my head a the time...
