No sarcasm here, I meant it. I recently used King's Quest as an example of a non-sexist / pro-equality game, and the good outweighs the bad here for sure. What BBP uncovered is just a very good example of how sexism can sneak its way in just about everything.

ETA: Oh, and a big bedankt for the script of course, BBP .

Tell me about it. I've stopped liking the Smurfs because of it. The comic where Smurfette is introduced is unbelievable.

Anyway I'm now looking at KQ7. Toegoff's playthrough of it had me hooked (he was stuck for an hour at like the only puzzle in it that I could do myself as I was playing auf Deutsch) but this one is a lot more work than KQ2.

King's Quest 7 back end is a mess, from what I remember. I once recorded a lot of midi's through my Roland SC-55 with SierraViewer, but man....it was like sifting through a big garbage bin of throw-away files and I never finished it.

I only recently discovered you can even play KQ7 with subtitles, with that 0k trick; still need to do that.

Hey cool! That would've come in handy - still I wish you wouldn't have to choose between voice and subtitle only.

I'm on KQ7 now and already found there's one line King Graham (or some servant perhaps) was supposed to say after Rosella disappeared.
"(DISTRACTED)Ladies, I was getting worried. You're fifteen minutes late for lunch."

BBP - I know you upload these to a place that hosts them for 2 weeks - but I'd be glad to host ALL the scripts you've done on the LarryLaffer page! I will make a page specific for your scripts! So that they're always available.

Would you be interested? You'd just need to email them to me and I will upload them to my site.

Sure, that'd be great! Just PM me your email and I'll get right on it!

Spoken like a true dutchman I have the same.

Yeah, there is audio for him all right, that clip can be heard on Sierraplanet. http://www.sierraplanet.com/kingsquest7/goodies.html
Graham is in the end credits, credited to Denny Delk. Too bad they cut him from the game / never animated him at all.

Akril hosts a lot of these hidden files as well:

Among them are Roo Rat rhymes that can't happen because you can't bring that item up for trade, like Count Tsepich's skull. And a phrase that includes the name of the desert.

The desert has a name, what is it called? I can't seem to find that line. I'm obsessed with these things.

ROO RAT "(CHEERFUL)Hello my lady, how are you? Would you like to make a deal or two?"
ROSELLA "(A LITTLE OFF BALANCE)Well, I'm not sure...my name is Rosella of Daventry, sir. Does this desolate place have a name?"
ROO RAT "Yes. This is the Huitzilipopuatlateknahualimoatlicue Desert. And no, I'm not even going to TRY to make a rhyme out of that."

that is....classic.

It seems like lord Attis has a lot more dialog than I recall. I'll install KQ7 and play it again (oh boy the boogeyman, the infernal boogeyman...) but if anybody else could help read the "galley proofs" to help check what's in it and what isn't, I'd be grateful!

Well, I would love to help out. I never mind replaying it and now the game very well.

That oil salesman turning Valanice into a doll....

reminds me so much of China Doll, a Marvel Comics character who has the power to change things into dolls, and has that same snakelike body.
