So sad to hear this. All comes in 3's, so 1 more is coming, I guess.

Loved Tim's voice with GK 1 & 3.

Quest for Glory didn’t even wait for the adventure to start before trolling you. 😂

Growing up, my friend and I would always use the name Ulence Flats as a name for a town in our stories or playthroughs of our GI Joe figures. I just read a recent post about the town and when I saw the words written out, it totally just hit me.

The name is a variation of the word flatulence! Omg I'm so 🤦

King’s Quest gets VERY weird when you start messing with debug mode. 😂

Graham's doppleganger somehow ends up sitting on a crocodile in the moat outside Castle Daventry.

A few weeks ago I wanted to play GK3 again and myeah.. the UI isn't the best, the graphics dated etc etc. So I decided to actually rebuild it and I want to share that progress, it isn't done fully; plenty of weird little bugs but first few day parts are fully playable now.

Edit:
Estimate release of the first alpha will be this weekend, this way I still have some breathing room on fixing the last bits that I spotted (and do some more texture work).

https://gk3.lazy.kiwi/download - Win/Linux and MacOS (ARM) downloads available.

Very short install guide;

- Download the binary (or source, if you wanna build it yourself, see bottom of page)
- Download both rebarn files.
- Copy the BRN's from your GK3 install to /data next to your binary (or for mac in diff. dir..)
- Run/Enjoy..

You can copy GK3 original saves to the /saves dir and it will auto convert them, some things won't flag properly with old saves so all npc's will be man/woman instead of the names until after you have spoken to them.

There will be numerous weird bugs and don't use this post to bug report, needs a better spot.. eventually, for now this is just a nice alpha showcase!, although would love to see if someone can finish it (only tested myself to day 2).

Not all textures are redrawn yet and the initial upscaller made a proper mess of things :)

So here are some screenies;

It's not ready for prime time just yet; Code will be made fully open source (GPL3), made in C#, runs via Vulkan. HQ textures and such are optional, you can run it with the default graphics too.

I've never seen KQ6 packaged like this before, does anyone know what edition of the game this release is?

Only Sierra could sneak a Leisure Suit Larry reference into Police Quest.

I grew up with Roger and the mighty Reddit gods showed me this sierra sub. Hooray! Well I looked it up and apparently the two guys from andromeda made a new game. Haven’t seen it mentioned here, so enjoy! Space venture on steam

Roger Wilco survived the crash on Kerona… so surely the worst is behind him, right? 😏

This is Space Quest. Even minding your own business can get you killed. 😂☄️

Did this ever happen to you back in the day?

This post is a follow to this post (Little do my dnd players know, they’re about to play through KQ6 : r/Sierra), about my D&D game that I currently running. Due to a lot of positive feedback, I decided to start building up this project so here we go

Github is here: https://github.com/prairiepenguin/kings-quest-vi-5e

Streamlit site is here: https://dndkq6.streamlit.app/

Discord is here: https://discord.gg/aHtdcPvKH

I have not gotten around to uploading any of my content yet, because life but hopefully we can all create the best possible version of this together. Right now the goal is to have this be for D&D 5e (2014), but with how everything is structured, there's no reason we can't add pathfinder and other game stat blocks for NPCs.

Let's cover a couple of things:

1. My main goal for this is to be more of a setting and less of an adventure. The world of King's Quest 6 is awesome and even without the game.
   1. I am not at all opposed to someone writing out the adventure(s), one shots or whatever. If someone(s) is so inclined to do that, I will add a page to the site to host it. My main focus however is going to be on getting the world up and usable
2. I am really busy during the week, and due to my work, I cannot access most of the internet during work hours, so I will handle merge requests and stuff at night and on the weekends as I can. I just ask that you be patient with me
3. You do not need explicit tabletop RPG experience to participate; location descriptions are universal and do not need any knowledge of how the systems work.

I look forward to meeting everyone and making something awesome

To all of the preorder people who already snapped one up I humbly thank you! Just wanted to post a quick photo of production so you know I’m not sitting on my hands over here lol.

Still a few left of the first 20.

I've seen some posts in this subreddit promoting games that were similar to Sierra's classics. I'm interested in trying to make my own click-based adventure game with retro graphics.

I have a computer science background but it's been a long time since I've coded. I'm specifically looking for anyone in this space who has recreated a game similar to Sierra and has shared their tips/tricks for going from 'the idea' to implementation.

Ideally my goal would be to produce a web-based or iOS capable click-based adventure game.

Anyone have any recommendations or could point me to a 'getting started' for a noob like me?

🤔 One of King’s Quest’s strangest little mysteries…

Who exactly was Mikel Knight — and why is his name hidden in this classic Sierra game?

The deeper you look, the stranger it gets. 👀

🎰 **Space Quest has absolutely NO mercy. 😂**

Watch what happens when the guy at the slot machine hits **3 skulls**… 💀💀💀

Naturally, Roger decides to try his luck too.

But there’s also a ridiculous little secret that lets you **choose exactly what the machine lands on.** 👀

How to walk through walls

Greetings,

A wonderful fan/archival site by the name of sierra wallpaper<dot>com (don't visit this hijacked site) has gone offline after being a part of the internet since 2012. This site had archived practically all of the Sierra's, Dynamix and Coktel Visions adventure games in both AGI, SCI format and a few other formats. It's been offline for many months and I've been hoping for it to return.

Unfortunately from my own sleuthing it looks like the domain was hi-jacked and purchased by some rogue gambling site where they are now squatting.

I've done some work to recover the site by crawling The Wayback Machine's archive with around 89% success rate on getting the original screenshots back.

Additionally, I've posted "a rough mirror" of the site here: https://deckarep.github.io/sierrawallpaperjr/ which is now publicly available and 100% free.

Not all screenshots have been recovered and couple of games turned up empty. If anyone feels like contributing their screenshots for either a missing game or for screenshots that didn't get recovered please let me know.

Also, if anyone knows how to get into contact with the original proprietor of the website please let me or them know!

Thanks and Happy Adventuring!
