We are not in the habit of Rankin jokes here -- the exercise is to make up fictional game names.

King's Quest 19: Royal invasion, Resistance is feudal.
Can't believe I almost missed this one. Have always been wanting to play these games.

Thanks for the giveaway!

I cannot NOT think of Spec Ops: The Line whenever I hear a phrase similar to the thread subject/title. It quiet literally gives me chills and makes me wonder if I feel a bit ill...

Sorry about the off topic.

Yeah, I felt almost physically ill playing that game. It took a relatively simple idea -- what would happen with a real person if you put him inside a modern military shooter -- and ran with it all the way to the inevitable conclusion.

Quest for Glory games, on the other hand, have always made me feel warm and fuzzy inside (except for IV -- that was sad in some places, bittersweet in others). They are games with a lot of heart, where your actions really matter. So there you have it -- perfect antidote.

I just happened to notice the series is on a special GOGmix, so I'm definitely in.

King's Quest: I Have a Dream (non-Americans might not get it)

EDIT: Ooh, I have another one. It's a mystery game:

Alibi: Jewel of Denial

It's about that black guy who nailed some theses on a door somewhere during the Middle Ages, right?


Anyway, 1 day left... *tick-tock*

Martin Luther King is revered in the US for making great strides for the civil rights of blacks in the 1950s and 60s. Perhaps his most famous speech begins with "I have a dream..." and is often referred to as the "I have a dream" speech.

So, I was combining Sierra's long-running King's Quest series of games with (Martin Luther) King's quest for equal rights.
