Thanks, fov

Reading all that just makes me appreciate all the more these people who work so hard to keep the old games alive

And whilst GOG, for instance, are not offering free games, or enhanced versions of oldies, they ARE only asking a pittance for their services and they HAVE made the whole of the original King's Quest series available for play on modern machines.
Can't grumble at that !!

Cheers.

GOG does have a few games like Beneath a Steel Sky that you can download for free and will even give you a free game every once in a while. I should know; something called Jagged Alliance is sitting on my shelf and I have no idea what I'll do with it since I'll never play it!

Anyway, I've just finished KQ3 Redux and I still have mixed feelings about it. I'm not fond of the character portraits and the guy voicing the lead sounds as if he's half asleep no matter how emotional the moment. I missed the ...yes, I really did...and I didn't like the end. Otherwise, it was great fun and I liked it. I'm not throwing out my Infamous Adventures remake, though.

Traveler, you, too? Okay, I don't feel so concerned now. I was hoping I didn't accidentally order a game without knowing about it. Yeah, I'm never going to play it either.

Really, you didn't like the character portraits? I actually like their Alexander portrait a lot more than IA's (looked closer to the KQ6 version) and their Rosella portrait was beautiful. IA did have some great portraits, too, though.

I had mixed feelings about the ending as well.



Still enjoyed the overall depth they added to the story, though.

And I won't be throwing out either remake.

venus, I can't for the life of me remember why they gave everyone a copy of Jagged Alliance but for sure, I didn't buy it!

Speaking of the end, But I agree the last bit was too easy. Even for me. <g>

I suppose they kept the part you mentioned in because it was in the original when you talked to Rosella. I know what you mean, though, I never really cared for that part. It always seemed out of place to me in keeping with the rest of the story. In another game it would have been humorous, but it broke the mood of the situation in this case. Oh, well, minor complaint, really.

I, too, play all the "free" re-makes that are released and considering they are free, have no complaints

A few things I really liked that they added that I forgot to mention before:







Also, Manannan's voice actor was perfect for the role.
