Things I Learned by Playing King's Quest

[Questing Character]

Sand wyrms?  That's not a King's Quest neighborhood!

[FataliOmega]

Im making this a tad more general. Its much more fun to pick on adventure games at large than just a single series... (sand wyrms from SQ1)  

[Jeysie]

Hey! This isn't a "Things I Learned by Playing Adventure Games" thread... that's too easy.

(edits Fatali's post to say "or you get stung by nasty sand scorpions" )

Peace & Luv, Liz

[FataliOmega]

It may be easy, but its FUN!

And whats with the sand scorpions? KQ7 had a giant scorpion that was found in the desert land, might you be referring to that?  


(Oh! And the 'nasty' part goes without saying.   )

[Jeysie]

Fatali: Try walking too many screens straight down/south right after you enter the desert in KQ5.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[FataliOmega]

As soon as I get it to run on my laptop, Ill do just that. Do I pick up a scorpion for bonus points, or something?  

[Jeysie]

No, it's more like you get stung and die.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[FataliOmega]

I like the sand wyrms better...

Watch out for sharks!  (KQ III when swimming from pirate's boat and KQ IV when swimming to the island)

-Bridle + Snake = Horse. Thats what I call sideways math...
-Vines will love you to death.
-So will Black Widows.
-Druids set people on fire for the rain ceremony.
-And last but not least, THAT LAST STEP WAS A DOOZY!

-that wolves are faster than people

Not if you're very close to the edge and he's not.
 

[Oldbushie]

-that all Death Gates need a hug.

[Jafar]

-Swimming in the River Styx, will put you in quite a fix!

-Trees are scared of axes.

-Pie is a fearsome weapon.

-Magic painted doors always disappear when you need them.

-Mummies kill you in quite a boring way.

-But not zombies!

-Bad guys are scared of the edge of the screen.

-But Yetis sure aren't!

-If you're in a jam, play some music. It always helps.

*Trading can be most helpful

*Remember to return to old places because they can change after you have done something else

*Things are not always as they appear to be  

[Oldbushie]

-that those desert bandits are going to be pissed once they find out their treasure is completely inaccessible.

[Jafar]

I've also learned that:

-Dwarves are greedy little punks.

-Elves are greedy too, but at least they'll pay you back.

-I'd hate to see Old Tom Trow with a cold.

-Or Bill Batter crying.

-Or Trilly Dilly cracking his knuckles.

-Or Grovenor cleaning his ears.

-I'd hate to see Grump-Frump at a feast the most.

-Don't worry about trees, their bark is worse then their bite! AHAHAHAHA!

-if you're exactly far enough from an oasis in the desert you can manage to die of thirst, face first into it! (and if that ain't useful, I dunno WHAT is! )
