OAquinas posted:wait, what even did you need all those damned sapphires for, anyway? Points. Adventure game design was still in the "Zork era" where you got points for grabbing random treasures. (Never mind that Daventry has a magic chest that provides unlimited gold.) I think there might be a bit somewhere (in the KQ Companion?) about giving them to Valanice to go with her wedding dress, but don't quote me on that.

And changing the walking speed from 33 to 45 or up to 78 if you were crazy.

Bloops Crusts posted:I love SQ5. Definitely the high point of the Space Quest series. There are others who say it's SQ3 or SQ4. I look at them funny. Nidoking LPing Space Quest? I thought that was long over. I feel like I recall posting in it at the end ("Thank you for Let's Playing Space Quest. As usual, you've been a real pantload.") but I have never managed to figure out archive search, so I can't verify. EDIT: Or I could be smart and Google it: Space Quest Collection by Nidoking sfwarlock fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Jul 17, 2017 |

DoubleNegative posted:This ship here is also the hard time limit I mentioned. Once you finish the Oracle sequence, the pirates pull into port, and leave after exactly half an hour has passed. I remember wondering if you could use the amber stone in this case to try to get to Daventry. Tempted to load the game up and play with it.

DoubleNegative posted:march a whole army up to deal with the dragon? To be fair, it's a three-headed fire breathing dragon. You'd need one heck of an army. (I know King's Quest has very little to do with D&D, but I recently did the math on how many peasant archers it would take to beat even a young dragon in D&D. The answer is somewhere between 400 and infinity, depending on the assumptions you make.)

Bregor posted:It's like someone verbally described a human face to an alien that had never seen one before, and then the alien had to recreate it with MSPaint. I feel like all the Sierra games during the pre-VGA SCI era had portraits by Uncanny Valley Artists. See especially: Leisure Suit Larry 2.

Fat Samurai posted:I'm pretty sure the usual way to tame a unicorn is to have a spare virgin laying around. I hope someone at Sierra asked why Rosella, a 17 year old princess, needed a bow and arrow to capture it and was fired immediately. This was also a 17-year old princess who was recently almost fed to a dragon. Who says she didn't sneak off with some buff knight the night before...
