OMG
that's so ACE! I remember playing those games on my dad's comp when I was wee!

Yup, think I had/played them all :D
I think King's Quest was the first one.

It says he's gradually converting them all for online, there's a fair few trick new features added as well like being able to talk to other players playing the same game, drop in and start at any level etc. Looks pretty cool.

Space Quest was bloody solid, I remember it took me about a day to get past the first bit where the aliens invade the ship the first time I played it!

If anyone's a real geek I have the original DOS engine lying about on a hard drive somewhere if you want to try making your own games for it, bit of a large task for me last time I attempted it though...

How did you get that?!
Good band though... still pretty good despite the loss of Lee Brilleaux.

I think it was the Wilco bit
Not a band I've much knowledge of (clearly) - of those Stiff Records types I'm a Larry Wallis man. 'I'm a Police Car' is fucking ace and he was in the Pink Fairies whom I love more than most. And was of course also guitarist No.1 in Motorhead...

I think that was King's Quest 3: to heir is human?

I learned so much from the various quest games, including not to have unprotected sex with prostitutes (Thanks Larry!)

never to piss off Medusa! And certainly never look at her! or to swim a long way out to sea.
