ALL ABOARD THE SCOTLAND HYPE TRAIN!

CHOO CHOO
This was the first game I even played on a computer at home, and I have literally no memory of Cedric. Traumatic repression perhaps

Or if you're me you decide gently caress this, games are supposed to be fun not obsessively trying combinations of every single thing you have to get one screen further before you have to start again from the beginning.

It was my one and only experience with a Sierra game and put me off ever trying another. I'm glad this thread has vindicated my decision.

Except KQ6 was actually pretty good.

It's been almost a month since the last update, and in that time I haven't really felt the desire to continue, so I'm going to go ahead and call this finished here.

I think completing 5 LPs in as many months finally caught up to me. That was, what, 3 and a half months of updates every other day, before I downgraded to "merely" three times a week. I hate that I fell off right as the only good one started, but what can you do?

Thanks for reading this revisit of a stupid series. I'll probably continue this some day, but until then...

Fair enough, thanks for a great LP! KQ5 was one of the first computer games I ever played, and it was great to see it again as an adult.

And to understand why I did the whole last half with the hint book.
