Er, yes? But I'd only ever read "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe", and that was when I was a kid. Never heard of the other two.

Oh, I loved the books.

Surprised you've not heard of the other two - the reason I specifically stopped at the next two was they made movies for both of those (as well as The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe).

OK. *shrug* The only "Caspian" I've heard of is the Caspian Sea. Sorry ...

As for "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" ... again, sorry. I'd never heard of it. Then again, I'd never been into Narnia. Maybe it's just that, when I read "Lion, Witch" etc., I was too young to understand it? *shrug*

Naw, you're much wiser than I am. It probably just didn't interest you. Different strokes for different folks and what not.

Police Quest 4.5: Leap Year. You are Detective John Carey - living the life of a homicide cop - for an entire year - during leap year - where you need to make all kinds of leaps to come to conclusions due to story elements being vague and/or disconnected.

Police Quest 3.5: It's Always Sonny in Lytton. You are Sonny Bonds, and you and Marie have been married and recently had a son names James. You just drive around the different tourist areas around Lytton and eventually retire. (Good luck trying to find that entrance to that park...)

Oh, gawd ... Does James ask for a martini? Shaken, not stirred?

Hah, I thought it'd be funny - not quite James BOND, but James BONDS.

He asks for his baby bottles shaken not stirred.

Police Quest 3.1: C&C Factory. - You are Sonny Bonds investigating a run down factory producing Cocaine, run by Cultists. As you begin to dig into the mystery of it all - you're reminded of Police Quest III... where Jessie Bains' brother Michael, terrorized the city with his Cult like killings - and how his military recorded showed endless violence - but when it came to arresting him in the crack cocaine house, he surrendered quickly and quietly, without a shot even being fired at him, and you realize his brother, Jessie was far more terrifying - so now whose behind this new cult and cocaine? Well it turns out to be Cain. That's right Cain Bain. His parents hated him. Clearly. And he markets his cocaine as "Coke-Cain" (because he's clever like that). He's in Lytton with his religious cult - and like the Biblical Cain had come here to kill his brothers - only to find one dead (Jessie) at the hands of Sonny, and the other in Jail. Now Cain has hired lawyers to get him out - just so he can kill him.

Oh dear. Does Cain also run a legit business on the side that presses CDs? You know ... the C&C Music Factory.

Cain Bains ... yep, obviously his mum and dad hated him.

Jean's Quest - Billie Jean (from the Michael Jackson song) is on the quest: to get a decent pair of jeans. Can you help her find a pair that won't crease and will make her look good?

Bing's Quest - Bing Crosby travels to Daventry to perform for King Graham. But he can't find Graham's castle. Can you guide Bing safely through Daventry? (No, not Coventry. That's a completely different place).

Ting's Quest - it's blue and blue on de ting! DE TING!!! (How dare you!) Now it's your turn. Try to find out what 'De Ting' is. (Yes, "De ting" is a classic IT story. No, I still have no idea what 'de ting' is).

Man Hunter 3: Amazing Race. It's time for the Manhunter to finally catch up with Phil - but Phil has just entered The Amazing Race reality show - but he needs a partner - and that's where you step in. Chase Phil through a number of cities, while completing difficult challenges, all to finally wrap up the game and put an end to the three eyed Orbs. (Wait - three eyed? Yeah. We kept the pattern)

Fan Hunter: ET's Quest. ET goes looking for anyone who will like his game, but can't find anyone.

It's a dump.

Gran Hunter. Oh, no - granny's gone missing! Who in the world would try to hunt down and kidnap a harmless, sweet, gray-haired old granny? It's up to you, her grandson, to find out!

Pram Hunter. It's the latest craze! Stroll around town looking the best pram!! Try and find the best quality pram that money can buy!!! And try not to go crazy while doing it!!!! Huzzah!!!!!

(I'm guessing that "pram" makes sense in America too? It's a British word (it's more likely to be called a stroller in the US), but hopefully most parents, babysitters, and nannies will know the word too)

Laura D'oh! Due to a bizarre coincidence in the time-space continuum, Laura Bow wakes up in Homer Simpson's body, and vice-versa. Now Laura speaks and thinks like Homer ... and vice-versa. Can you, paranormal investigator Smirk Harshly, help them get back to their real bodies?

(Bonus points if you can guess where I got the investigator's name)

King’s Quest: 90’s 3D Editions

Get ready for brand new “remasters” of the beloved series, done in stunning, blocky 90’s 3D style! With no hardware acceleration available at this stage, enjoy visiting your favourite locations in classic 640x480 software mode. The lack of bilinear filtering really brings out the pixels of the “gorgeous” new low-res textures. A cast of Z-list actors in bargain basement Halloween costumes, poorly chroma keyed into the environment, brings all your favourite characters to questionable life. With no DOS interpreters and only 16-bit Windows executables, better hope some diehard fan comes up with a custom patch soon if you want to run these puppies on Windows 10!
