logically the bridge should break after X number of crossings, however the riddles that you have to solve should also render the game unwinnable if you cross the bridge to read them in the first place

i feel like sierra didn't quite bullshit this up enough

Sounds like you automatically give it to Neptune after you take the key.

more sierra bullshit, why would you give it to him in the first place

i know there's a puzzle in one of the games where you need to eat something to survive, you have a number of things you can choose to eat but only one is correct because you don't eat the whole thing; there is no hint that this is the case, and you have to give this half eaten thing to someone. i mean joke's on them for accepting it but wtf

i remember kings quest 3 as being really excellent so i am looking forward to seeing your playthrough of that

at least i think it was 3? the numbers all tend to blur together, hopefully my glasses aren't too rose-tinted

I dunno. 4 has its moments. Which I won't say even in spoilers.

if you walk onto a certain screen - which is coincidentally between you and a place you need to be - before you're ready instead of going around it, you become a dead man walking

the game does not tell you this

just realised the common theme between the two good kings quest games they both feature gwydion as the PC

Did nobody try putting the hat back on?

alexander does it like 5 minutes later and graham jumps up spry as an acrobat "wait where'd rosella go"

I also started on V (sadly it was the 16 color floppy version), it is the peak of walking dead and guide-dang-it puzzle design

The Walking Dead but all the zombies are replaced by poo poo you forgot to pick up earlier

I had the VGA version and the fact that I still think fondly of it today is to my mind some form of Stockholm syndrome - I didn't have access to many other games. I thought that that version of the game looked great back in... 91? and I still do to this day. I have literally had nightmares about that loving scorpion and I doubt that I've ever actually beaten the game.

oh man i used to have nightmares about that knife mugger guy in the alley in leisure suit larry

I like how Genesta put in some goddamn guardrails for once.

genesta is actually an evil bitch who only got the title of 'good fairy' because she stole lolotte's guard rails, hence the entire rivalry

mordack is actually pretty hot, not sure why he needs to resort to abduction here

Aug 24, 2011


correct thing for mordack to do: "hey i'll deal with that vizier for you, but i want one date"

wrong thing for mordack to do: "i'm kidnapping you and now you're my scullery maid"

completely wrong thing for mordack to do: "i'm going to make this unrelated castle small and put it in a bottle"

i think you should do the short path then reload to do the long path, because that will let you play more kings quest 6, which is a good game

i like the part where alexander is in the two good kings quest games

i've already forgotten what 4 was about (not joking; reminder please?)

Haha no wonder this game's the better one of the whole series, based on the items in that pawn shop they might well have actually paid attention to what the hell they were doing.

in a previous game, it would only be possible to choose one of those four items. you'd choose one and use it for a few different puzzles, but it would turn out at the very end that was the wrong choice and you're a DMW from the start of the game
