I was going to guess SQ4, actually- specifically a scene from SQX (Latex Babes of Estros).

Good job Tawm!

Man you ain't kiddin'! I feel the same way. And here I thought I was a big Sierra fan. Only in my place of work. Here-- I'm a wannabe.. big time.

New to KQ, or returning after a many year hiatus?

Either way, welcome!

If I were single, I would seriously consider buying one. With a family of five however, our finances just can't support such a decision.

I've always loved the dmc-12...

So I hear .. And therefore I do look forward to playing them all some day (wouldn't have even known about them if I never stumbled across this place!) At this point price is not the obstacle with GOG and eBay- it's time.

Don't have them.. they came out when my bro and I started waning on adventure games due to other life endeavors like college and post-college. :) I've heard quite the mixed bag of VII and MOE though, so I'm in no rush to go out and try them. Someday maybe. I also need to go back any play the fan gam...

Just finished KQVI ... WOW, what a long game. I can understand why I never finished it when I was younger. I used this walkthrough for guidance. A couple of the puzzles I'm pretty sure wouldn't have kept my interest with as much other busy life things are going on right now. But, now I get to move o...

TURBO VISION! YES! That's IT!

Thank you so much. It was really killing me that I couldn't remember what it was called.. Yes yes yes ... awesome. SHOULD operate on newer machines too, since it's essentially "text-console-based." Off to try a few things out now. Thanks so much!

Thanks Rakeesh, I will do some googling.. I don't think this is the same package that I was looking for, but it may be just (if not more) useful.

There were actually lots of different kinds, I'm sure. One example would be sierra's INSTALL.EXE program that was a color ASCII menu program to change audio settings/etc. Another example would be the old Borland Turbo Pascal or Turbo C++ interface with a "gray bar" across the top with dropdown menu ...

I will look into that, thanks Collector. Do you know if there is a self-contained/portable version of Java that can be extracted onto a USB stick? I envision using my game stick on computers where I will not have admin access. I saw something on google about a "portable apps Java" but it still uses ...

The ultimate goal I'm going for is a USB stick where there is nothing to install, just plug it in and have a menu or something pop up asking which game you want to play. I use a lot of different computers and don't always have access to or want to install anything, but in some free time would love t...

Love the "Quicky Reply" feature. So used to it on other forums, glad to see it's availability. thanks.

Won the Monkey Island Madness CD .. thanks for the tip. Looking forward to playing these, and without Steam.

thanks, I'll stab a bid... is there a "complete collection" akin to the Sierra collections for SQ/KQ/etc?
