~Fun with King's Quest I - The Magic Shield

Feb 18, 2006 05:08

I apparently have brain damage or something because I'm working on another flash video. This one, however, is much shorter and has no furries and is about a billion times better than my other two already. I should have it done pretty soon because I've hit my fanatical THIS IS THE ONLY THING I WANT TO WORK ON ARRRRGH phase. GOOD TIMES ( Read more... )

As long as it's not a whirr-SHZOOOOOooon-click type thing (that's the noise my hard drive made before its head completely crashed and it killed itself), your data hopefully isn't at risk.

I hope not. I shut it down for a litle bit and it seems quiet now. Maybe it's just overheating or something. Hmm.

This is a good program that'll let you know when (and long before) the processor is about to damage itself -- I dunno how compatible it might be with whatever hardware you have, but hopefully it'll be somewhat useful.

Awesome, I'll check it out later.

BUT WAIT. I THOUGHT YOU LOVED GETTING NUZZLED, TICKLED AND DRY-HUMPED BY OBNOXIOUS FURRIES. I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU ANYMORE D:

Those Sierra games have neat graphics, they look pretty detailed, but simple at the same time. WOAH there's a command of 'count fingers'? Awesome.

IT WAS A HARD DECISION TO GIVE ALL THAT UP FOR THIS VIDEO BUT I THINK IT WILL BE WORTH IT

Heh, the SCI remake of KQ1 is really pretty good. Wait till I hit a real old school title like egaLSL or something. Hehe.

Actually that was the last screen. Then you just walk through the door and run before a wolf gets you.

I feel bad for my days spent complaining about KQ7 now. By that game, they must have installed an alarm that went off whenever the programmers cackled sadistically for more than five minutes straight.

Thanks for the playthrough!

zarla February 19 2006, 23:58:24 UTC

Ah yeah. KQ7 was merciful in that when you died, it gave you a "try again" message that let you start from before when you screwed up. The earlier King's Quests were not so forgiving.

Man seeing you play these old Sierra games makes me want to get Torin's Passage back out. Only thing is this computer won't take it :|

zarla February 20 2006, 00:00:56 UTC

Like, yer disk won't work or yer operating system is weird? Cause with Torin's Passage I'd think that vdmsound or dosbox would let you run the game okay, but then again the last time I played Torin's Passage was on my old computer, so I don't know how well it would run on a modern computer. I haven't really tried it. BUT I have faith in vdmsound and dosbox cause both of them haven't let me down so far.

kyohteebat February 20 2006, 19:02:32 UTC

Last time I sucessfully played it myself was on an old windows 95 IBM. But that's probably what my computer's lacking, the dosbox thing. I'll have ta check into it.

zarla February 21 2006, 09:33:09 UTC

So far with enough tweaking I've gotten Dosbox to run pretty much anything. It's awesome that way. :D

Ugh, the catacombs in KQ6 were so annoying. If you went in there without all the items you needed than you were just screwed. Hope you didn't save in there because you CAN'T GET OUT HAHAHAHA
