Three Clues - Who Am I?

[Tawmis]

What is the "NOT_ORIGINAL_EGA_Version_Remake"? As far as I was aware, there were only two PQ1s - the original EGA and the VGA remake. Can someone please clarify?

It's a reference to me saying King's Quest 1 VGA: viewtopic.php?p=100296#p100296

Are you in the Blue Room?

Yes

[Rath Darkblade]

Are you the balloons that cover the stripper's naughty bits?

(I'd be very surprised if this was correct)

No.

New clue:
Tawmis was on the right track, but didn't phrase his question quite right.

Hmm ... are you the really strange red picture (in the "PQ1 VGA" Blue Room)?

Here is PQ1 EGA: https://sierrachest.com/gfx/games/PQ1/ss/051.png ... no really weird pictures here.
But here is PQ1 VGA: https://sierrachest.com/gfx/games/PQ1VGA/ss/053.JPG

I'm thinking of the red picture on the wall.

I'm in the other one .................................................................. yes, you're also in the other game.
I am nonsense and easy ............................................................. possibly because the picture is next to the couple kissing -- "easy" is slang for you-know-what ...
But what the [censored] am I?! .................................................... exactly. What the heck is that picture?

Yes I am. Only it's not a picture, it's a framed bullcinch.

I'm in the other one - In the remake. We tend to only look at the original game or assume that the item is in both versions.
I am nonsense and easy - "nonsense" = "bull"; "easy" - "cinch"


But what the [censored] am I?!
And that is the question, isn't it? Because I have no idea myself. This is what the game says:

It's the universal symbol of masculinity, the Bullcinch. Just looking at its wrought-iron curves and angles makes your testosterone levels rise.

If you Google the word (which Google asks if I meant "bullfinch"), the second link to come up is actually the transcript of the PQ1 remake. Information is sparse and I couldn't find a clear answer in any of the other links. One suggests that it is used to restrain a bull... in a very uncomfortable manner. Another seemed to suggest that it was used to, um, make a bull into a steer. Both of which makes me wonder what is going on in the writer's mind to a.) have it there and b.) describe it like that. Thinking about is "makes your testosterone levels rise"? Creepy.

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm, I don't think I've ever even heard of a "bullcinch", or even looked at that red frame before. Yikes.

I didn't expect to actually win. (Yay). So, I just leafed through Sierra Chest and had an idea ... (warning: this is VERY hard).

I'm here to point the finger
But I don't actually do it
So why am I here?

Guess away!

[Tawmis]

Are ye in a game with 'Quest' anywhere in the title?

[notbobsmith]

Does the game take place in a fantasy setting?

[Rath Darkblade]

Nope and nope.

[Tawmis]

Are you a game that primarily takes place on Earth (Gabriel Knight, Laura Bow, Heart of China, etc)?

[Rath Darkblade]

Yep!

[Tawmis]

Is there more than 1 in the game series (for example Gabriel Knight or Laura Bow vs Heart of China)?

[notbobsmith]

Are you in a Leisure Suit Larry game?

[Rath Darkblade]

Yes, and ... *drumroll* ..................





Yes!
