That's good to hear about GOG. I had been a bit turned off to them after I originally read about that. I love their presentation. I think it is good for the community. It's just in how they execute it that can be a bit poor (not GOG so much). I really have taken to reading every little detail becaus...

...sellers on eBay listing old games updated to work on newer systems? After reading about Collector's work being used without recognition, I wonder if some of the sellers are doing the same and using installers created by the community or mashing user patches together and creating installers. Examp...

Thanks guys, looks like a great place to be!

I hear you. I have an addiction to collecting all kinds of fruit, gems, soda cans, multi-colored ball things and so many others for points. All they need are floating point markers and cool sounds when I get them.

so, yeeeah... any more screens/scans coming? :nudge: :nudge:

purty please!

Awesome Daventry!

Very rare indeed. Those are the first screens I've seen of the actual calendar.

Thanks for checking guys!

Don't recall ever seeing it either. Not heard anyone mention it. May be one of the things that they were going to produce but never saw the light of day. Yeah... that's a shame if so. I see pages like this, http://www.abebooks.com/9780879056667/Cal-96-Kings-Quest-0879056665/plp , that show some det...

Dug around and found some interesting stuff here: http://www.game-nostalgia.com/sierra/kings_quest_series/kings_quest6_1.html Interesting... I knew the plain colored ones were disk versions, but I didn't know you could upgrade. Were the disk versions the only ones to include the larger-format Guide...

Best I could find...

Does anyone have this or know what I'm talking about? I remember this insert in my KQ 7 big box version 2.0. It said something about ordering a 1996/1997? calendar with King's Quest artwork. I'm very interested in at least getting to view scans of it or even purchasing it. Unfortunately, I haven't b...
