The main pieces in Phantas are PCM WAV (recorded audio) files, not MIDI. The largest PCM is, of course, Consumite Furore, easily extractable with SV. Remember, this is a time when Sierra was moving from MIDI to digital PCM. SCI3 games tended to have a default CFG that used "MIDNONE.DRV", w...

Mark Seibert used to have a number of things on his site, including an MP3 of Consumite Furore. It looks like it was preserved on the Wayback:

This is an old, but known error from the old Sierra Windows installers. In emulators it is often the CD drive speed test or the processor test that causes it to clash. on old NT kernel operating systems it could lockup and crash the old NTVDM DOS emulator. The only thing that you have to do is to sk...

And it definitely shows.

You are thinking of "The Art of Sierra" and the three principles involved just disappeared from the community. I had known two of the people well before the project had been started. Not that it was a scam since there was no money. They had been loaned a lot of the original artwork (most o...

Good: Atmosphere. Talk about creepy, yet also beautifully drawn.

I have often said that TCB has the best EGA graphics of any game ever. Douglas Herring's masterpiece.

She was under the control of the real villain. That control was broken when Torin took that neck brace off of her. And she did get to go home with Torin. Perhaps replay the ending?

No problem, just curious why. Most of her games weren't KQ.

Why is this in the KQ forum? Of all of the Hi-Res games, "The Wizard and the Princess" is only one that a KQ game can be traced back to.

GOOD: Not much stands out. Pretty much the same as SQ1 in terms of humor and overall gameplay.
BAD: Like Rath said, the plant maze. I think I am going to bring up any walking/climbing puzzle like this.

Haven't gotten round to completing KQ1 yet. While most seem to prefer the originals over the remakes, KQ1 SCI was Josh Mandel's first game. The artwork is lovely and it is just about the most charming of all of the Sierra games. That, plus the soundtrack was by Ken Allen. KQ1AGI was just Greensleev...

Like, why?

All SCI0 & SCI01 games are EGA. Most SC1+ are VGA, there are a few SCI1 games that have EGA variants. A couple are basically VGA, but include an EGA driver that simulates EGA by dithering the palette to drop it down to 16 colors.

You mean the AGDI fan game?

Remember that Rath has a long history of publicly panicking over false positives.
