I just saw that on homestar before I came to KQ 9 today. I hope that they are actually making it and its not a joke.
Yeah, a lot of those places did remind me of scenery that I have seen before :)

I'm so ticked off!  I was doing so well, but I think I forgot to get horse's grease to set myself on fire!  Or at least something with that horse...
Dangit!

I can't even get it to load for me... I think the server's overloaded or something. Blah.

Post by: J-ROC on August 02, 2004, 02:56:03 PM
Well, I'm a whole lotta stuck with 74/150 points.

I can't seem to set myself on fire, talk to the fisherman, get into the INN (fisherman related), or find out what to do with that man who keeps hiding behind the tree. :S
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: Jeysie on August 02, 2004, 03:07:09 PM
Questie and I still can't get it to load, so no spoilers or you shall be visited by the Stick of Extreme Pain.

I think the server hates New England.

It gives me a "plugin didn't initialize properly" error message and a quicktime broken link. That's been happening a lot lately... maybe I deleted something I shouldn't have :P

I'm sad because Peasant's Quest won't load.  I wanna be a peasant! :'(

Er, QuickTime, Storm? I thought "PQ" was a Flash game? ???

Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: J-ROC on August 02, 2004, 04:01:57 PM
I JUST FINISHED IT!  AHAHAHA!

136/150 points.  Not too shabby... :D
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: Yonkey on August 02, 2004, 04:02:38 PM
Storm, just reinstall Quicktime just in case.  Obviously your Flash should be fine if you can still see the nav buttons and logo at the top of the forum. :)
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: Jeysie on August 02, 2004, 04:39:27 PM
Actually, I got it to load. Yay! It does seem to use just Flash, since I don't have QT installed at all. Of course, I haven't gotten very far yet.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Did you help the fisherman yet?  He can't go back to the inn until he's done fishing.

If you're really stuck, here's a walkthrough --> http://www.westsideservers.com/peasant.htm

Wee!  I beat it with 142/150 points    What a fun game!  The ending is hilarious.

Fun things to try:
Type "throw baby" on the east side of the lake.
Type "sleep" while in the peasant woman's cottage.
Type "cheat"  

Anybody else find funny things/easter eggs?
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: J-ROC on August 02, 2004, 10:41:53 PM
Yeah, I finally finished it. :D

I just thought the last time you saw the baby, the little text that was provided with that was ABSOLUTELY hilarious.  I found most of it amusing, but that part was the only part that had me laughing out loud for a couple minutes. :D

Post by: koko_99_2001 on August 03, 2004, 08:26:22 AM
I'm going to have to play it when I get some time this weekend.  I tried it for about two minutes...looks fun!
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: etgadsby on August 03, 2004, 10:34:17 AM
I just got around to trying this... I'm having no luck making it load... but then again I haven't been trying very long. The trailer look rather amusing  !!!

I got it to work and I played it and I beat it--two less points than James had though. :-\
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: etgadsby on August 03, 2004, 10:56:26 AM
 ;D I got it going... excellent  ;D

Sadly I find myself at work and thus can't give it too much attention until later... *sigh*
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: Jeysie on August 03, 2004, 10:59:45 AM
Well, I guess everyone got it working at this point, but I remembered that a pal has a mirror set up:

http://justas.ggcmedia.com/pq.swf

And yeah, I just played through the intro and tinkering with the first screen, but it was already funny. :D Must play more later.

You are sad a pathetic!

(actually, I went back and got a second arrow which is a bug that gives you two extra points)

I upgraded Quicktime... and it didn't help :-\

What DID help, was dis-associating Flash files from Quicktime. I don't know why it tried running something it can't handle in the firstplace :S

It runs fine now :D
But I got stuck at 9 points :( I really am pathetic :'(

*psst Storm*  I was in the library at school and only had about 30 minutes.  In other words, to get it done, I had to use the walkthrough.

I know, I know, ya'll ask why I didn't save and come back to it.  Believe it or not, the school's computers delete everything you've done on it as soon as you logout of the computer  :-\  I have to reinstall MSN and YIM every time that I get right back onto it...

Since it saves your games in a cookie, you could have searched for it and e-mailed the cookie to yourself.  ;D

Yay! I finished the game! Got 135/150. Whee!

Speaking of funny bits, did anyone try typing DIE or KICK HORSE? :suffer:

No...but I was told to say "sleep" in the hut...interesting response :P
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: Storm on August 08, 2004, 02:10:23 PM
Done all that... ;-D
It's the right things I seem to have a problem doing  :P

At the begining. It's not "stuck" as much as having no idea what to do next :S
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: zerogravityfire on August 09, 2004, 08:53:01 AM
I played it through a couple of times, and the first time I talked to the archer, moping by the archery range, I got the 2 points you're supposed to get. The second time I played the game I only got one. Wussup widdat? >:(
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: Storm on August 09, 2004, 09:04:36 AM
An update, maybe? ???

YAY, I'm at 20 points! though I could have sworn I tried putting the pebbles there before ???
Title: Re:Peasant's Quest!!
Post by: Jeysie on August 09, 2004, 09:06:52 AM
Zero-G: IIRC, I read that if you first talk to the mopey archer before having at least one of the items that allow you to find his brother or play the game you only get one point for it.

Adventure Gamers interviews the PQ team (http://www.adventuregamers.com/article/id,416/)

QuoteMatt: Outside of text adventures, the first adventure game I ever played on PC was King's Quest 1. It taught me the word 'crotchety.' Later, when we played King's Quest 2, I remember being legitimately terrified while inside Dracula's castle. Like, I had nightmares in 16 color EGA.

Wow :o how did I miss this fourm. Pesnts quest was not that hard 150 points not that hard with the help of a freind. But a good game
