I'm very disheartened to hear about the KQIX closure and have been waiting years for it to be released to the public for download.

The real problem is the Sierra stopped creating sequals to Space Quest, King's quest, Police quest, etc years ago. Those were the real games of yesterday, and adventure gaming seems to be making a come back recently, which brings me to my point. Why doesn't Vivendi pick up the work on KQIX, polish it and publish it as a real sequel? They could even hire some of the developers, actors, writers, etc that worked on it.

For some reason, even the newer so-called adventure games (Longest Journey, Siberia, every other game by "The Adventure Company", etc) do not do the same for me as the adventures games originally released by Sierra, LucasArts, etc. Sure, they are good games, but just don't feel the same.

Maybe the big companies will start listening to the fans and see that there is still money to be made on the adventure games of the 80's and 90's.
