Colonel: Good: Atmosphere. Talk about creepy, yet also beautifully drawn. I also love the growing tension as bodies mount. The place goes from lively and populated to practically deserted in mere hours. Bad: Not bad, per se, but the way Laura has no impact on the plot until the “who to shoot” choice...

It was also interesting to read that Microsoft wants to do new things with other Sierra properties.

“Codename: ICEMAN” in UnReal Engine! Yaaay!

Very encouraging news. And that’s great Ken and Roberta have endorsed the project and were able to vouch for it to those in charge.

To be fair, Microsoft just got everything... They're probably still settling things on their end. Acquisitions usually result in consulting everything into various teams, and laying off the excess. And we're only getting the side of the story from the folks doing the game. True. They’d only know wh...

Hmm. In some ways I think the grey border better suits the artwork, but I like the textured beige in that it ties in the theme for the other early games. A nice motif for the first four entries. Hah, I always saw it as gold rather than beige, which I thought fitting for a KING's quest. :D You’re ri...

That’s disappointing news. It sounds like Microsoft is a lot more amenable than Activision. Why they’re being so pig-headed I cannot fathom. Hence why I’ll never be a “suit”.

I’m partial to the navy blue because that’s the one I own.

The first one is sweet because it’s advertising a game for whole family, but the second is more game appropriate and in keeping with other covers for the series.

Amazing to see the purple box sealed up with no scuffing.

Yes, like the KQ5 labyrinth, it’s almost impossible to figure out without consulting a map or guide.

Will also need the TRIALSG.DIR with it.

I’ll send that to you soon, just to see. Thanks.

8000 cycles. I believe the default for the SHP installer.

It might’ve been a glitch, or maybe not. I was ultimately able to complete the game regardless. I noticed it was very easy to overload your weight in this one, what with all the money and items you collect.

I’m noticing the hero’s stamina is depleting unusually fast. He was overloaded at one point but I dropped the weight to well below his maximum carrying capacity. But just walking from one side of a screen to another drops about 10 stamina points. Could my save file have gotten corrupted with the wei...

Glad you enjoyed it. I didn't play these until somewhat later. Probably late 90s when the compilation CDs were first coming out. I'm not sure if I've ever played the original. I think I've only ever played the remake. QFG2 is my personal favorite. I’ve just started the second game. Felt good to hav...
