Re: Tips for first-timers?

I'll be playing the original, when I make time to get to it (which hopefully will be soon). And saving your game just to try something stupid is half the fun! God, the number of times as a kid that I had Laura Bow walk out into the street to get run over...I lost count :D I don't mind video game rem...

Re: Tips for first-timers?

Thanks for the advice.

By specific, I largely meant the two questions I asked afterwards (DOSBox issues or making the game unwinnable). Or, in general, just any quirks that may set it apart from other Sierra titles. I'll be perusing the GOG manual scan as well.

Tips for first-timers?

I've never played any of the GK games but have always wanted to, and I might try to make time for Sins of the Fathers soon. For those intimately familiar with it, is there anything specific I should be aware of before starting? Any DOSBox quirks or setting issues I should look out for? Also, can the...

Re: Some ideas that Al Lowe probably rejected...

These are funny! I'm not overly familiar with the series yet, but is like to give them a try someday.

Maybe this could be a fun concept for the community games section - rejected Sierra game ideas, where we come up with deliberately silly and nonsensical plots for sequels. Any interest?
