We should get Conquests of the Longbow screenshots every day. I love that game, must have played it a dozen times and can't get tired of it.
(and I loved the monastery; great mood, and lots of fun things to do, with the gemstones, the stone heads, the manuscripts to read... )

Ditto.
But it's also one of the rare Sierra game that I haven't played but am interested to play.

Has Sierra re-released this game? Can you buy it from their webstore?

I found this website through Amazon.com (it is a page from
Christy Marx's main site). http://www.christymarx.com/writing/robin.htm I'm not sure if it's OK (mods?). |

Since it's being offered by the game's designer, I'm willing to ignore that link completely.
*looks the other way* |

You'll absolutely need the manual too to play the game.

I have a question. One of those games on Ebay right now is the EGA version. Is that posted screen from the EGA game or is there a VGA version?

The box shot on Christy Marx's website has a VGA sticker on it, so there must have been a VGA version. The graphics in the screenshot Wreck posted are VGA graphics.
For comparison's sake - these are from a different game (KQ5), but from around the same time period. EGA graphics VGA graphics |

There's a King Quest 5 in EGA?

Wow that game looks so suspicious now. I remember KQ5 blowing me away when I first saw it... I think other than Wing Commander 2 it was the first VGA game I saw.

Man, I've said it before and I'll say it again, Conquests of the Longbow is one of Sierra's best. And as for that link, I'm certainly appreciative of it since my new laptop doesn't have a floppy disk drive (Not to mention my disks probably don't even work anymore), heh.
