I just found 3 copies of the Colonel's Bequest on ebay and emailed each of the sellers and asked if they knew whether or not the 3 1/4 disks can be installed and if the game is playable under Windows XP.

Ultima II. That was a game.

How you can mention Lucasarts without giving big ups to Monkey Island is beyond me. We had a thread on Loom a few weeks back as well.

Computer games nowadays are much lamer than those from my (earlier) youth.

I have a copy of the Dagger of Amon Ra somewhere at home if anyone's interested. I'll be able to check for sure/find it when I move back in a week. Let me knoooow. (i also have CD versions of some other shit, but they may be too scratched to play at this point.)

I am, Ian. And I'll trade you Kings Quest VI for it.

i know i have king's quest V on CD, Jer.

YOU COMING TO MY PARTY NEXT FRIDAY?

I just found the C.B. at this site (xtcabandonware.com). It installed and seems to run fine. Wow.

Hell yeah. And I'm trying to bring attractive fauna and effective flora.

"How you can mention Lucasarts without giving big ups to Monkey Island is beyond me."

www.tuol.org has a bunch of abandonware sites--and a link to Sierra Classics or something that has many many Sierra games, most notably Quest For Glory I - IV and Gabriel Knight I.

I liked the old Brittania series that came with a cloth tapestry/map in the box and some other cool stuff. Computer gaming was so much better back then.

a whole bunch of the sierra adventure games were released together ~1995 in the Roberta Williams Anthology, you might want to search for that.

also search: Ultima Collection (cheapo collection of Ultima 1-8 on one CD), the Ultimate RPG Archives (like every RPG Interplay had made, with a huge instruction manual), Lucasart Archives Vol 1 & 3, and Masterpieces of Infocom.

sadly they are probably all out of print. sierra and lucasarts no longer even mentions any of their adventure games on their websites. pirate away.

al lowe, creator of leisure suit larry, has a bunch of his early games here for free download.

Remember Championship Boxing?

a friend of mine is at E3 this week and saw an ad for a new LEISURE SUIT LARRY.

If these work on Mac, you are my favorite people EVER EVER EVER.

I've never even played Police Quest 3!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 19:24 (nineteen years ago) link

And sadly they don't. :(

Would they work with VPC?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 19:25 (nineteen years ago) link

OMG!!!!

Adam, I love you so much I think I just gave birth to your son and then I had him bronzed.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 19:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Sam and Max, anyone?

Yes, please!

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 19:42 (nineteen years ago) link

You can't do that, at least not now!

― robots in love (robotsinlove), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 19:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Yay, I spent all of yesterday evening playing The Colonel's Bequest and King's Quest IV.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:03 (nineteen years ago) link

i used to leech these off the local boards in flint with the 2400 baud. Ah, what days.

i had a 8088xt with a CGA monitor for 5 years. I knew that i'd have to upgrade when SQ4 and Wing Commander came out and were CGA only. of course, it took "X-Wing" being released for me to finally do so.

Does anyone remember Keeping Up With The Jones'?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link

YES

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link

that was right around the time of the incredible machine

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link

scariest sierra game ever = manhunter

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Fucking A. @d@m, you're the best. I've spent far too long looking at Sierra-related websites, looking at screenshots and game maps of King's Quest and its sequels and longing to play them once again in my lifetime. This is great.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:50 (nineteen years ago) link

That's essentially what I was trying to say, but it came out creepier when I said it.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:52 (nineteen years ago) link

But not many Police Quests on that site. :(

You all know me as the police guy, alert me if any of these appear. I NEVER finished PQ2!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh wait, yes I did.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, this makes me wish my iBook weren't in the shop.

This and a zillion other things, of course.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:13 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm looking to fill in some cracks. I think I only played KQ1, KQ3, KQ4, maybe KQ5 (I think I lent this one to my cousins and never got it back!!), SQ1, SQ3, and PQ1.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Manhunter was amazing!!!

Did anyone every play Star Control II? It was like the problem solving from a Sierra game but oriented around a SPACE POLITCAL / INDUSTRIAL / DIPLOMACY / MILITARY SIMULATION. It is 100% free open source now and lots of fun. The combat in it was cool too. It used sequenced music!

Sakes alive! I had the first version of that for the Amiga! I loved that game! FUCKIN LOVED IT I SAY!

This was great too! The costumes were wicked fun. I'm pretty sure the story could go tons of different ways.

also - this just boggles the mind. Text-only adventure games are due a huge renaissance!

They already HAD a huge renaissance a few years ago, Adam. http://www.ifarchive.org/ for more info.

I can't get KQ1 or SQ1 to work for me. I totally just downloaded KQ6, though, and it works. Although the sound is FUCKED UP somehow, and I think it's supposed to be playing music but it sounds like my computer is exploding with modem buzzing and bleeps and bloops (but not in a good way). And I totally forgot that I played this game but now it's all coming back to me in a huge rush.

haha!

We should totally have a "when you're older" thread for all things like that.

The only thing I'm worried about is that on the first screen of King's Quest I, those crocs in the moat seem to be going awfully fast. Which means that in Space Quest I, the acid at the top of the cave might drip too quickly for Roger Wilco to dodge it. (I'd downloaded a version of SQ1 a couple years ago that had this problem.)

― Hoisin Murphy (jaymc), Monday, 25 January 2010 20:56 (fourteen years ago) link

haha. i love how people don't realise that the command line is for chatting when other players are around, so they just walk around exclaiming "look at basket"

I tried to play Police Quest but when I got to the briefing room there was another player who was wandering round the room and not taking their place and the sergeant kept shouting at them and then I died instead of them. I think. Oh well.

(Does this get past the recipes-as-copy-protection of KQ3? Mind you, judging by PQ there is absolutely no chance of surviving any of these for more than a few screenfuls)

There are online walkthroughs that you can use for the recipes.

Okay not so exciting now that I keep trying to play and having other players push me out of the way.

Yeah, on KQII, at least, the water boundaries aren't well programmed/defined, so you walk on the green grass near a body of water and "fall in" and drown. Kind of annoying for really playing through the game.

Argh... I can't for the life of me pull over the red Corvette in PQ here. Stupid Mac and its lack of F keys.

Wow the multiplayer idea is crazy! I love it!

― Nhex, Monday, 15 February 2010 16:14 (fourteen years ago) link

This is such a neat idea but my hat goes off to anyone who can stay alive for long enough to score more than 15 points without falling off an edge which didn't exist, dying because someone else on the same screen died, dying because someone else was standing where you needed to or took the item you needed first, the game mysteriously resetting to some random other point when you walk through a doorway, etc.

Trying to do the already ridiculous twisty-chasm-away-from-wizard-castle scene of KQIII in this is going to be a circle of hell.

But still, it is a really neat idea...

Can't you just click at the bottom of the screen and have your character automatically transported there? I did that with the path to the castle in Black Cauldron.

The YT collections of ways to die in each Sierra game reminded me of how those games pissed me off. I WAS JUST TRYING TO GO OVER HERE and then you fuckin' killed me, you stupid game.

Next to look for Police Quest ones, cz 1 was ridiculously anal (did you walk round your car before getting in? no? then a tyre blows up and kills you! a tyre which is strangely fine if you do walk round the car) but at least made a kind of sense if you'd read the manual, PQ2 was just crazy for the utterly unpredictable death-from-mundane-object scenarios.

The interface is reminding me that I never did finish Maniac Mansion.

Looks like btjunkie has a version for download, tho I don't think it's the original, it looks like some kind of graphic/sound update. Don't think the game was 74MB as first release!

Also I wanna take this time to say Quest For Glory III was my favorite Sierra game ever, but Monkey Island 2 is the best computer game ever.

anyone know what discworld was like? i just dned it but not tried yet

― Guru Meditation (Ste), Friday, 25 June 2010 17:17 (thirteen years ago) link

To 14y/o me who loved graphical adventures and Discworld books it was frustrating and not very Pratchett-ishly funny, but it had its moments I guess? But I got stuck and gave up on it, and years later I learnt that the solution to one of the puzzles I was stuck on was in fact something I'd been trying, just obviously not clicking "use" while standing on the exact right pixel.

Funnily enough I am helping mr spacecadet clear a bunch of stuff out and we just hit a seam of mid-90s games including Sam & Max, DoTT, Discworld, and he was all "man what an annoying game" and singled out the above puzzle as one he couldn't solve because the solution was illogical, whereas it had occured to me instantly except I couldn't make it work

(had encountered same puzzle with same solution in crappy 80s Spectrum game and also never found the exact right pixel to stand on to accomplish it, it being a task which requires proximity to a deadly thing - spoiler avoidance kinda making this post incomprehensible but hey)

― atoms breaking heart (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 25 June 2010 17:31 (thirteen years ago) link

Discworld was confusing to me too. Never finished it. Very beautiful game tho.

I had "The Dig" for a while and actually got pretty far, but I remember ending up on a really abstract puzzle that I couldn't figure out and just gave up on.

DOTT is so infinitely classic, maybe even better than Monkey Island 2. Best voice acting ever in a video game.

the solution to one of the puzzles I was stuck on was in fact something I'd been trying, just obviously not clicking "use" while standing on the exact right pixel

this is the most frustrating thing about adventure games, something like this happened to me in almost every adventure game I ended up being stuck in.

the other common thing that often got me stuck was not noticing there was some room I could go into or some box I could open so I was missing some important item later in the game which I should have gotten from that room or box.

Just found out there is a fan-made Zak McKracken 2: Between Time and Space. Has anyone played this?

― Beach Pomade (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 25 June 2010 18:50 (thirteen years ago) link

I posted about a few adventure game remakes and add-ons in an adventure game forums. The games I mentioned are the most well known remakes and add-ons.

I would wait to play Zak McKracken 2: Between Time and Space and Broken Sword 2.5 (which looks awesome) until the English voice pack is released for both

I heard that some cheesy story stuff is low point of 'Between Time and Space' but otherwise everything else is superb

― serious nonsense (CaptainLorax), Friday, 25 June 2010 19:03 (thirteen years ago) link

I know people always ask this but what ARE the contemporary equivalent of these games?

― Kiitën (admrl), Friday, 25 June 2010 19:05 (thirteen years ago) link

A new Monkey Island game and some new Sam and Max games have been released in small chapters/episodes over the past couple years (on pc, wii, ps3, and x-box 360). The complete games are called Tales of Monkey Island, Sam & Max save the world, and Sam & Max beyond time and space. The third new Sam and Max game is still in progress (being released in episodes).

See what I'm talking about at Telltale Games website.

Meanwhile the original Monkey Island has been released as a special edition and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge special edition is coming out very shortly. Special editions have English voice-overs and everything is hand-drawn and presented in 1080p (HD). Personally, I think getting this would probably be the best way to get into adventure gaming. But freeware is a good idea to.

― serious nonsense (CaptainLorax), Friday, 25 June 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link

note that Monkey Island and Sam & Max series are Lucas Arts adventure games (Sierra's main adventure game competition back in the day)

― serious nonsense (CaptainLorax), Friday, 25 June 2010 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link

There are some modern graphic/point'n'click adventures out there, but none of them are as epic as your Monkey Islands etc. Zeebarf do pretty good ones:

A Small Favour
The Adventures of Reemus

Woah, the TSOMI special edition looks crazy! I'm definitely looking into it.

I recall that Monkey Island 2 made use of hand-drawn art for the backgrounds. Looks like they've redone them anyways but they look DAMN good!
http://www.lucasarts.com/games/monkeyisland2/#/home

If only we could convince Ron Gilbert to remake his original script for Monkey Island 3. The Curse of Monkey Island was great, but kinda a letdown after th ending of 2...

― Beach Pomade (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 25 June 2010 20:36 (thirteen years ago) link

Back in the day I was always like "Sierra games give you OPTIONS, they are SO MUCH BETTER than LucasArts." But since I started playing old adventure games with my little sister, I've come to appreciate the value of a well-written but linear plotline versus "oh you didn't throw the boot at the rat three hours ago? GAME IS UNWINNABLE SORRY."

The new Telltale Sam and Max games are hilarious.

iirc opening up that laundry chute was the very first way i died in this game, this being the first playable screen.

― ﴿→ ☺ (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 13 July 2017 04:30 (six years ago) link

but really it's a super interesting game, a nice side-experiment in What Other Kinds Of Games Can This Interface Make?. replay is important and if you really want to nail it you have to do some kind of insane stuff of basically, when you figure out which event triggers the clock advancing, you should double back and make sure you've done all the interacting and eavesdropping you can manage in that earlier time interval. but it's all about dialogue and clues and shit; there are inventory puzzles but fewer than in a king's quest game. the vibe is so great in any case, the 'creepy evening on the bayou' feel really comes through.

worrisome stereotype alert though - i want to say they mostly steer clear of really terrible dialect stuff for the african-american cook character, but said character is obviously a problematic and creaky old type from the get-go.
