Absurdly excellent King's Quest news & review!

[Rath Darkblade]

Huzzah! After many years of waiting, King's Quest: The Silver Lining is finally ready for previewing. Here's a review in The Age, one of the major newspapers in my town (Melbourne, Australia).

I've known about The Silver Lining for years, but I'm surprised that The Age thought it worthwhile to review a game. Normally it only reports bad news, 'human-interest' news (e.g. kitten stuck up a tree) or absurd news (e.g. man robs bank and tries to get away on a bicycle). Anyway, have a read of the review and see what you think!

Interesting how easy it was to work with Activision than it was with Vivendi. With Jane’s new game coming out and Activision (hopefully) knowing that there is still a huge Sierra fan base out there, chances in making a GK4 sounds more and more feasible. If Gray Matter and The Silver Lining sell/download very well, that bug needs to get in Activision’s ear with a hopeful potential a GK4 can be made.

Thanks for posting this, Rath.

My favorite part of the interview.

Like Katie said, not for this one. However, we would like to be able to produce games from the rest of the Sierra catalogue in a commercial way. If we were able to pull this off without a dime, imagine what this team could pull off with a commercial license! And so, we are looking forward to speaking with Activision in the future and see if we can make a deal so that we can bring back series like Space Quest, Gabriel Knight, and, why not, another entry in the King’s Quest series.

Yea! Mine too. I'm also glad especially that Roberta approves and that Activision had more sense than Vivendi.

Still... another GK maybe, some day? Wow. That should make Andrea especially happy.

I'd still want another GK to be Jane's hands and another Larry to be in Al's hands. They could probably get Al to agree to come onboard for a Larry.
