What Sierra games would people like to see detailed step by step DOSBox guides for?

I do believe the GK games are a priority. I have to try several times when playing my GK games to get it right.

There have also always been unanswered questions about the QfG games - in particular that dragon-roaring end scene (and for some a little earlier, when Minos does his petulant flinging-down), which seems to cause a lot of systems to freeze. At any rate, a step-by-step guide would be most heartily welcomed.

Yes, definitely QfG4. Laura Bow 2 is another biggie. KQ7 and GK1 as well.

I'll wait for a few more responses before I decide which one to do first, so keep them coming.

I had invited Moonie to ask for LSL guides, but so far, with no other requests, it looks like GK1 will be the first. As far as the QfG series goes, I can do 1-4, but 5 is a Windows only game. These are to be DOSBox guides. I might deal with Windows games at a later date.

GK1 would have been my vote also. That's the one that seems to have the most problems with DOSBox when I used to play it. (Finally figured out the fix myself).

But other than that, I have been lucky. I think most of the DOSBox games that require the CD for audio (where simply mounting the CDROM drive isn't the fix, aduh!) should have a look. Sometimes in GK1 the audio isn't matching the action either. Like Gabe will walk over and pour the coffee, then like 5 seconds later, you hear the sound of him picking it up and pouring it.

OK, GK1 is up. I may add pictures to it and put it up on the Help Pages.

[Almirena]

Thank you.

Any votes for what's next?
