Also, there is a nice remake of the first three King's Quests, expecially the third is void of all those wizardly permadeath annoyances...

eiii: Do they all 5 run in dosbox? Then I might grab them, although I'm not that much of an point-and-click fan.

Garran: The first four do. The last one is Win32 native.

They're a hybrid, not pure point and click the way the other Quest series were.
Ok, got them. Thanks! One game more or less in this sale doesn't really matter any more, limits are already far behind. ;)

Senteria: 5 games for $2,50 is a steal. Even if it is old as shit. =D

That's one of the many fantastic things about QfG, especially the older ones. They weren't really hardcore point n click, I played them with a joystick and keyboard on my Amiga. Quite frankly, I think that's also the best way to play them.

_zero_: Did I just miss shelter??? I left for maybe 10 minutes to take my medicine. God dammit whyyyyyy :(( I missed the first 2 rounds entirely because I had not joined gog yet :/

LeoLR: Unfortunately you will have to sleep in the rain. There is no more Shelter.

Anyway, welcome.
Dammit. :( Thanks for the reply and the welcome :) This is a rather spectacular community and I love gog (the shame of not having made an account sooner).

Torchlight. Next is... the Keaner World.

Ah, QFG 3, such a nice memories on this.
I still remember it, although I played it some hundred years ago.
I never played the fifth episode, which is considered the best, so now it is very tempting to try it.
Posted May 15, 2014
hah. This shall take a while... ;p

Wouldn't mind a little Kean now, just to read up the backlog ... *duck*

Torchlight now ?

I'm waiting for the revenge of the keane.

Senteria: I bought it on this sale. I will play it when I get back home. Is it comparable to Syberia in a way?
avatar
Kamamura: Syberia? Lol ;-) No, it's an altogether different beast, you will see.

It takes in a confined space of the Orient Express, where strange conspiracies take place.

What is unique is the fact that your character speaks several languages - I think English, French, and Russian, perhaps, and for those you see subtitles, but there are other nationals like Turks, Serbians, and them you hear in native language without translation. But the sentences make sense, I understood the Serbians a bit.

Other thing - there is a lot of paralel stuff going on, and the time never stops. While you eavesdrop on one event, you may miss another - difficult choices, and a constant pressure.

But the story, the characters, the nostalgia - it's soooo perfect.

One of the games I would give 10/10.
I remember talking to Mechner at the CGDA about Last Express and its ambitiousness. However, I was sorely disappointed by its unplayable nature due to bugs upon release. Have these been addressed?
