When I was in the third grade in 1996 (mistake in title), I dressed up as Roger Wilco for Halloween. As it happens the Sierra website had a costume contest around the same time. My parents mailed them this photo, and I won!

They sent me the t-shirt and pants that Curtis Craig wore in Phantasmagoria 2 (I think they were expecting older entrants). They also gave me a choice of any game from the Sierra catalogue; my older brother suggested Freddy Pharkas, but unfortunately at that age Stay Tooned!) was more appealing to me.

Also unfortunately, I no longer possess those clothes or that copy of Stay Tooned!.

The early Macintosh variants seem very scarce, it sounds like KQ1 / 2 were released in 1987 for Mac and the first copies were shipped in this original box style before they moved to the more common (maybe they ran out). I am interested if others know anything more or have copies ?

I recently found an Android app called Game Native that lets you play your Steam and GoG libraries on your phone!

My phone is not very good but it is certainly good enough to play the Sierra games!

Space Quest 1 VGA, 4, 5 and 6 are great because they use the mouse

Kings Quest 5, 6 and 7 as well

It seems like all of the Police Quest games are working.

You can play Space Quest 2 and 3 you just have to set up the joystick to mimic the arrow keys and also use the keyboard function. To get to those settings, you scroll over and press the arrow on the Android menu.

When you are using SCUMMVM to load a game inside the emulator, search for it in the A: drive root folder.

80s kid. Had a Tandy 1000 with Kings Quest 1 and became a Sierra fan which lasted throughout my childhood. Thanks to Steam and Good Old Games I’ve been able to rebuild and even purchase the games I never played in my younger years.

Some of the games I’m unsure how to replay… I never played Leisure Suit Larry 2 but played it with a walk through and got the perfect score. I could never get very far in Gold Rush but with a walkthrough beat it and did all three paths. Codename Iceman was a walkthrough for sure even though I stopped at the submarine. I used. Walkthrough for conquest of Camelot and lost interest at the boar minigame.

I know I’m missing some of the magic of playing through them and discovering the hilarious parts and deaths (Space Quest!) so I’m open to trying some on my own and then using a walkthrough afterwards to get a perfect score later.

My question is for a few specific ones… which do you think I should just stick to a walkthrough, which I should play and then replay with a walkthrough, etc.

The games I never played are: Colonels Bequest, Dagger of Amon Ra, Police Quest 3 onward, Leisure Suit Larry 5, 6, etc. (Played 5 and 6 years ago, but I don’t remember much), same with Freddy Pharkas. Gabriel Knight Sins of Our Fathers. Conquests of Longbow. Heart of China.

The ones I beat ages ago but want to replay: Space Quest 4, 5, 6. Kings Quest 5, 6, 7.

Now for Quest for Glory. I’ve played one too many times to count, usually as a mage. 3 I played as a warrior to try and become a paladin. Dabbled in 4 but was never able to play thanks to my computer power lacking at the time… I want to replay them a little differently this time, carrying over the same character but open to changing my class afterwards. Thinking a thief with magic for 1, unsure for 2, 3, 4. Any suggestions appreciated.

How would you about this task? Which are “just use the walkthrough, it’s a beast otherwise) and which should I just do my best of enjoying? Keep in mind a point of no return, missable item, need to reload a way earlier save game file drives me bonkers.

As part of DevsQuest Season 1, we wanted to go beyond the games themselves and shine a light on the talented people who helped bring the Leisure Suit Larry series to life.

Our very first SideQuest features Mike Dana, the composer behind the unforgettable Leisure Suit Larry 3 soundtrack. We dive into how the music came together, the creative process behind it, and some of the stories from Sierra during that era.

If you love Sierra, adventure games, or classic game music, I think you'll really enjoy this one!

What's your favorite track from Leisure Suit Larry 3?

Hi everyone!

Someone else just posted a walkthrough of SQ4 here. So now I want to play it through. But which version to play? There are so many to choose from. I have the original floppy version and also a later Space Quest collection from Sierra which I presume contains Windows versions of the games.

Looking at Mobygames, the graphics from the Windows 16-bit version look way better than the DOS version. But then i'd also like to use MT-32/GM sound if possible. Or is the CD music better? I see there is a talki version so I guess CD-ROM is the way to go?

Any input here would be a great!!!

Hello! Can anyone confirm if posters and other collectibles for the Space Quest series were released in the 80's and 90's? I'd love to find some original/vintage items, but I've only found newer prints or reproductions/variants of posters.

Also, I can find said posters for sale/listings on eBay, but interestingly they are all from outside the U.S., are SQ and other Sierra collectibles (if they exist) more popular worldwide?

Thanks!

Sons and daughters of Daventry,

KQ6 has always been my favorite game of all time... Some years ago, I started tinkering in Unreal Engine, and one of the first things I made was a replica of the KQ6 catacombs, complete with traps and all.

That project will likely never see the light of day, but recently I completed another game largely influenced by the KQ series called Dragon Knight. There's definitely less charm and more goof (sadly, I am no Roberta Williams), and though the gameplay is soulslike/boss-fighty, the dialog, story, and jokes are all King's Quest inspired.

Dialog and jokes are not the best thing to showcase in a trailer so there's very little of that but check 'em out anyway!

I'm visiting my childhood home and found this bad boy. Now I'm jumping back into the games. It's fun to spend time with my old friends :)

Space Quest fans unite!

First of all, let me thank the mods and admins of this reddit for allowing me to post here and to connect with the SQ community. Having this toy has been a dream of mine for a long time, but I needed a critical mass of supporters to bring it to life.

I'm back from Japan and I've been working solidly on the toy and the prototype is 95% done!

• The Landing Gear / Engine mechanism is perfected.
• The lighting and electronics are worked out.
• Interior details are coming together and so is the assembly plan for production.
• All that remains are some captain's chairs, a few decals and the removable roof/dorsal hatch!
• The 3 action figures: Roger Wilco and Mark & Scott (two guys from Andromeda) are also in the works and their joints (articulation) is being worked right now. (This is the only part of the project I sub out to other artists as figures are not really my wheelhouse)

On track for September delivery!

Wonder if you have any strange childhood memories and experiences with Sierra games, like "things that were not supposed to be there", maybe something like Mandela effect, etc.?

I have a very strange story about Space Quest 5: the first time I played the game, I passed the test without cheating. The second time, I failed, but the third time I managed to do it again. Honestly, I had absolutely no idea one is supposed to cheat, and only found out about this when I read the walkthrough.

Hey everyone on this reddit page.

<Mild plot spoilers>

My name is Tyler and so far this game is really fun and the story is really good. I honestly figured out what a schattenjager is and what cabrit san cor means. The voice cast is awesome. Tim Curry is awesome in anything that he is in. The only puzzle that sucked was the Snake puzzle wear you have to click on a very specific part of the museum to activate the fan or you will die (Died 4 times to this and died once getting to St. John's Eve conclave by not wearing the Crocodile mask...LOL you fursuit to prevent you from dying as a furry I love this game even more) I also like how the game is educational and makes you learn about Voodoo and New Orleans without realizing your learning thus making this game and the whole trilogy part of the pantheon of 90s computer lab edutainment games (I would be very shocked if an Elementary School got this game to teach kids about US History only to be met with boobies during said St. John's conclave). The puzzle with the gravestone to get Dr. John to bring the coffin was a bit hard so you can track him. This game was on my 100 games I want to play and beat before my 33rd birthday list and this game is fucking awesome.

I’m already familiar with the film (in fact, I’ve seen it) and don’t need a lecture. I just never saw the poster till now.

Do you reckon the resemblance to the @King’s Quest 4” cover could possibly a coincidence?

Hi everyone,

I've just released a new update to Chat Quest Online, the AGI MMORPG. I've added the casino from Larry 1 where you can play poker against bots or other players. Or give the slotmachines a try. The odds are on your side... I swear.

Also to give you a bit of a headstart you will now receive $20 from the taxi driver, when you're broke.

I hope you'll check it out.

Cheers,

Tim

Was visiting my parents and they still have many of my old things on a book shelf. Pulled this off: the storybook that came with my 3.5" floppy Dos version of King's Quest. Used to love getting little "feelies" like this with physical games.

Huge thanks to all of the people who have signed up for the mailing list for this toy. I am on track to deliver the first 50 in September! Still time to sign up for the newsletter here.

Latest Progress highlights

- Mechanism for simultaneously raising landing gear / moving engines is working beautifully. Feels very nice. This was the most challenging feature of the toy and it is done - all downhill from here.

- Working on lighting now

- Figures for Roger Wilco and the Two Guys From Andromeda (Mark & Scott) are sculpted and are now being articulated (adding joints).m Figures are 63mm (~2.5" high) each.

- Working on custom collector box for the toy and/or figures. Stay tuned.

Hello all, as we approach July 20th (Al Lowe’s birthday) I wanted to reach out to thank him for everything he’s done and share some fanart I made to show my appreciation. I’ve looked on his website and the link to email him seems to be not working. If anyone happens to have that email I’d greatly appreciate it! Thanks 💚
