And now for an opposite effect, if Sierra had designed Kyrandia.

I'd never played Kyrandia, so I'm not sure what I'm looking at. :? But it's still amusing :)

If you enjoy KQ, I'd recommend Kyrandia... though it's a little more... madenning.

As for the image, much like in KQ3 where you can fall to your death leaving Mahanananana's home... that's the joke here...

Yes, I understood that. But where's the "player character" (to borrow an D&D expression)? ;)

Is it that grey-and-red thing, which I highlighted in yellow? :? I'm finding it hard to figure out what that thing is.

That's the character falling off the cliff.

Ah, right. That's what I thought ...

And it's followed up by this:
Have a nice death ;-)

Unlike KQ, Kyrandia had invisible borders to prevent accidental falling. This was just a joke showing the impossible, or what would’ve been had Sierra made the game.

The particular sprite I used came from the one section where Brandon can fall off something. You’d have recognised him if you knew the game.

Hah! Nice ones. Took me a moment to spot the change to the KQ3 cover.
