When I was a kid my dad had a 486 computer that I installed Kings Quest 6 on. It came on a pile of 3.5" floppy disks, and had a thick brown manual labeled "Guidebook to Land Of the Green Isles."

I played the hell out of that game and got every ending. It's still one of the happier memories I have of growing up.

Well, that's all I got I guess. I just like Kings Quest 6.

Does being cynical bring you joy?
A lot of these old point and click games are fondly remembered. I remember playing Leisure Suit Larry and Myst as a kid. Yes they suck by any modern standard, but thats why this board exists, to look back on things with rose tinted glasses.

Are you always this much of a nigger? Why are you even on this board?

I'm here to reason with you, so that you logically feel ashamed and kys immediately

I miss all of the silly and ridiculous things you could post on the Internet without getting blackballed. I miss sincerity. I miss geeks chatting with other geeks.

Why do you respond to bait?

My favorite Sierra game growing up was police quest.

King's Quest VI was great. I played it for the first time a while back and managed to finish it without the help of guides, but with a lot of saves. It was a very satisfying experience.

KQ6 was based, I got the demo disk on the cover of an Amiga magazine - THE WHOLE FLOPPY FOR JUST ONE GAME! Very soulful game demo, exploring that initial beach and walking into the forest towards the castle. For some reason I never bought the full game (money was limited as a kid), I fired the PC version up in 2006 on a PC with a CRT and played further but didn't finish it. Very comfy game, less quirky than Monkey Island series or Simon the Sorcerer.

Ever since third worlders got the internet its gone to shit.

The internet should only belong in the western world.

Very comfy memory.
I gave quite few fucks about it.

This thread is 100 times more genuine and appropriate for a retro board than the hourly "would X game have saved the saturn" and the other sega shitposts flooding this place.

>>12605037
don’t feed the trolls etc.

Would Kings Quest 6 have saved the Saturn?

All of them were great, except for 3. They fixed it though with the remake.

fuck motherfucking sierra, leisure suit Larfy is for fags anyway
honk if you love pussy!

>>12604959
Yeah, get out of here with your good memories. We've got "Sonic Sucks" and "Castlevania Sucks" threads to post in!

best game in the series, hands down.

Go fist your anime bussy and play Mario, sir

while true it's also sort of just by default, it's competition is 4 IBM games, 7 and 8 being 90s multimedia abominations, and V being extremely cheap and annoying.

He does this on every single thread that isn't a shitpost of his. In fact it could be a bot even. Report, ignore or become a janitor

Did you play the other ones?

What's the best way to play this in the modern day?

ScummVM. I think it supports both the DOS version and the Windows CD version. The Windows CD version has full voice over, new close-up portraits (with more lip synching when the mouths move, the style looks somewhat similar to the way the portraits move in Gabriel Knight 1) and the whole song in the credits.
