Thanks a lot... Seems to be quite interesting... It'll be a nice chance to actually play KQIV, as I havent played it for more than 3 hours...

Wow, this is amazing! I recently started replaying my old Sierra adventures and just finished KQ4. Can't wait for the remake!
These guys seem to be making good progess. I hope we don't have to wait a whole year Edit: Typo's...

Why bother remaking old games?
They even removed the old parser based interface and replaced it with a "point and click" one.

For example. Of course, this is just my opinion (and it's been exagerated on purpose), but that's probably also the opinion of a bunch of other people, which makes a perfectly valid reason for remaking these games.

I must admit I'm not a fan of the text parser interface - although KQ4 was the first (and only) game with one that I ever completed. I don't have the patience for them anymore.

Just to brag a bit, I just won an auction with the first three King's Quest games on Amiga, complete with box and manuals. I already have the collection box on PC, but I like collecting amiga-games more. Now I have King's Quest I, II, III and VI complete with box and manuals on amiga. Missing only 4 and 5 now. The rest is PC only. Oh, I should probably try to get the re-releases too, just to have a complete collection.

Hammerite, we're talking about the re-releases of the Quest Collections that have appeared on Amazon, whose release date keeps being pushed further and further back.

Thanks for the link, it seems soon KQ1-4 will all be remade.
There's also this supposed KQ4-remake, but the site hasn't been updated in forever. http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/spongefactory/ |

It was last updated May 30, 2004, so I guess they're dead.
