BrownEyedTigre The Sassy Global Moderator PR Liaison Sonic Boomer Registered: 01/04/04 Posts: 52816 Loc: In the Naughty Corner	The wait is over for the free game inspired by the legendary King's Quest series For screenshots Click here. Quote: SACRAMENTO, CALIF., June 26, 2010 - Phoenix Online Studios is happy to announce the July 10th debut of The Silver Lining with "Episode 1: What is Decreed Must Be," the first of a series of episodes that will be released throughout 2010. The highly-anticipated fan-made project will allow gamers to revisit familiar characters and lands inspired by Roberta Williams' beloved King's Quest universe, which captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of fans during the 80's and 90's. In The Silver Lining, players will assume the role of King Graham as he sets out on a quest to save his children, Rosella and Alexander, from a mysterious curse. The episodes will be released as free downloads from www.tsl-game.com. "We played about 20 minutes of the first chapter, and now I'm dying to know how the story unfolds (...) this game nails it by feeling like a true heir to the throne," said Joystiq in a recent preview of the game. Phoenix Online Studios and Activision have worked together over the last few months to build a relationship that will enable The Silver Lining to be freely distributed to its eager fans. For more information about The Silver Lining, the latest updates, or to join Phoenix Online Studios' The Silver Lining community, visit www.tsl-game.com. Happy Gaming!

JeanK Settled Boomer Registered: 07/04/09 Posts: 442 Loc: Florida	That was one of my favorite series! As a matter of fact they were among the first ones I played. I can't wait to play these!! Ahem, how did King Graham get to look younger than me? lol. It must be a trick of my eyes. Why, I remember he was older. _________________________ "So, Holmes. What are we doing now?"

oldman Addicted Boomer Registered: 04/15/00 Posts: 2902 Loc: Lost in the Arizona Desert	Wow! I've been following this game since it was originally called KQ9 and had given up any hope of it ever coming to fruition. Hats off to the TSL team and the fans for not giving up. So, maybe enough of us can make a difference. However, after all this time I'll believe it when I am downloading it. _________________________ You laugh because I'm different I laugh because you're all the same Funny I don't remember being absent minded.

BrownEyedTigre The Sassy Global Moderator PR Liaison Sonic Boomer Registered: 01/04/04 Posts: 52816 Loc: In the Naughty Corner	It means that it was made by a group of fans of the series and not a for-profit development team hired to do it. They get no money for it, they just did it for the love of the series. Ana _________________________ How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

Please can someone tell me how soon we can expect the next episode? It was so great I would even buy it. The only bad thing about the game is I hated to see the game end. Thank you to all who worked so hard to bring us Kings Quest again.
