The least remembered of the King's Quest series apparently, and probably understandably so.

>Disney slop-ified animation
is why

amazing anybody can remember anything these hacks made
fuck motherfucking sierra, leisure suit larfy is for fags anyway
honk if you love pussy!

It had a troubled development iirc.

Why are lucasarts fags like this?

Lucasfarts isn't much better

Zoomers mindbroken by a dead man walking scenario, most likely.

It's Hotel Mario-fied animation

It's don bluth
>>
>>12499629
disney animation is good
>>12499790
bluth is incredible but is also derivative of the disney style
>>
>soulful and colorful visuals
>beautiful atmosphere
>a cast of hot girls, main character is a literal bimbo, but her mom is also fuckable as fuck
>Soulful mid 90s spirit
What's the reason people don't like this again? Because it's a Sierra game?
>>

Literally the same thing could be said about anime.
>>
>>12499653
>>12499685
It's a spambot that's automated to shitpost in threads any time King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, or Sierra are mentioned. Ignore him and report him and move along.
>>
>>12499806
Disney is derivative of El Apóstol
>>
>>12499805
No, it actually got criticism because it was seen as "too easy" since it was very linear, had no dead ends, and the puzzles were relatively simple.
>>
>>12499809
Most retarded thing I've heard all day. Snow White had zero influence from El Apóstol.
>>
>>12499818
Snow White didn't but Gallopin' Gaucho did (and doesn't look as good)
>>
>>12499823
Yea, except it wasn't. El Apóstol was primarily shown in Argentina, didn't have really any international release, and is considered lost media.

Hotel Mario's animation wasn't actually done by Animation Magic
But it's still kinda CD-i related since indeed, both King's Quest VII and the CD-i Zelda games got their animation done by Animation Magic

Research Disney and his fascination with Argentina.

Oh, really, does he mention it a single time in any documented piece of writing or spoken media he has ever published or that has been recorded?

>Puzzles aren't some obtuse bullshit that no one would figure out without a guide
>You don't have to restart the game 6 hours into it because you forgot to get a golden needle from a haystack at the very start of the game
Amazing how these things were seen as "bad design" back in the day.

This game was probably made to appeal to a younger audience as the market for the KQ games were aging and Sierra was afraid they wouldn't buy new games. I got it when I was a kid, around 10 years old or so. I thought I'd hate the game but actually I really enjoyed it.

>>12499614
No, the least remembered of the KQ series is picrel. Another huge departure in the series and its failed last ditch attempt to get "hardcore games for hardcore gamers" types onto the brand
>>
>>12499614
What the hell happened to this series? They had a good thing going with 5 and 6, then a remake of 1 in the same style. Then they decided to make goofier looking Dragons Lair out of 7 and then go FPS bullshit with the next one.
>>
>>12499629
I hate most disney stuff from the 80s onward, but it's still impressive and cool that they tried to capture that look.
>>
Wrong game
>>
>>12499873
Adventure games became obsolete as PCs got powerful enough to do other genres of game.
>>
>>12499873
Sierra got absolutely assfucked by someone who committed accounting fraud, and was basically dead by the late 90s (outside of publishing others' shit). All those franchises outside of maybe one or two of them were dead.
>>
>>12500245
^this
>>
>>12500245
There's never been a technical limitation that prohibited any genre of game from being created.
>>
>>12499653
I've actually been asking myself why I find Day of the Tentacle so much more appealing than King's Quest 7 and even Sam & Mad Hit the Road... and I think the answer is that it looks like a Nickelodeon cartoon (which aren't gay and for kids like Disney cartoons) and has a ton of special animations in addition to its cartoon logic perfectly fitting the artstyle.
In short, it doesn't feel forced upon the game to appeal to any demographic but is fitting for what the game actually is.
>>
>>12500245
>Adventure games became obsolete as PCs got powerful enough to do other genres of game.

Many people like them to this day actually.
But the modern ones are always quirky chungus lo-fi Indie slop pure soul and I don't like it.
>>
>>12500438
Except keyboard controllers, taking a long time to figure out scrolling, etc
>>
>>12499614
like a lot of these 90s CD-ROM games it's pretty tech demo and hasn't aged well
>>
>>12500245
Absolutely brain-dead niggertard take. Take a lap.

>>12500591
You're just summarizing all new ones as being that because you saw 1 that was like that.
>>
>>12500696
Nah, you're wrong and gay.
>>
>>12499873
Sierra was bought out by a bigger company that was not interested in standard point and clock games. The FPS was their attempt at following modern trends.
>>
>>12499831
>A man who specializes in cartoons and animation
>Who is also interested in Argentina
>not knowing about the country's famous animation short
>>
>>12501252
>about the country's famous animation short
It was A) Not known outside of Argentina, B) banned after 6 months, C) Not shown anywhere outside of Buenos Aires, D) It wasn't a short either, it was feature length.
>>
>>12501268
I'm sure Walt being a wealthy gringo could get through getting a copy either from a fellow cartoonist, or the authorities that banned it
>>
>>12501271
Right, despite the fact that it was destroyed in a fire in 1926, and virtually unknown outside of Argentina?

You really keep trying to beat this dead horse for some reason.
>>
>>12501280
I'm sure at least a few other copies existed. And Walt had one.
>>
>>12501285
Man, that sure is interesting, when do you plan on publishing this ground-breaking research in the news?
>>
>>12501289
It's not news it's logical thinking
>>
>>12501290
Oh, so you're making baseless accusations to buoy your retarded assertion? Alright, well, magical dingle fairies gifted Walt the idea in his dreams one night. Nah-nah boo boo *PPPLLLL*
>>
>>12501295
at the end of the day Walt was gauchomaxxing and you can't even grasp it
>>
>>12501296
At the end of the day, it's the end of day, and you're still retarded either way.

Your "logical thinking" boils down to you being butthurt about anime having ripped off Disney, then going ahead and googling "first animated film", finding El Apostol, mentioning that without actually looking into it, pretending you've seen it when it's lost media, and then when you've been proven wrong, you decide to continue stringing along a bunch of hypotheticals into a blind belief that you're too egotistical to back down from, either because you're underage and have not learned about humility, or you're autistic, and you physically cannot stop yourself from digging your grave any deeper.

look dude I just think it would be unlikely that Walt of all people wouldn't know about it. Thats all. I don't care about anime or if it ripped or not disney, that's your war. I'm just a general animation fan doesn't matter where it comes from

>>12499614
the initial release of KQ7 was a broken mess and they had to issue a new version with corrected code

It's still a broken mess and since the save system is retarded you can loose half a chapter or more due to random crashes.
The worst thing is that those very small gameplay choices you can make won't be reflected in the chapter select option.

The only thing worse than King's Quest VII is Torin's Passage closely followed by Space Quest 6 and Larry 7. All Sierra games from the era are technical disasters
>>
>>12499614
I'd play it if they had nude sprite hacks.
