Kq6

[Isisann]

has anybody played KQ6? I'm so stuck! :help:

[Kon-Tiki]

Yep. Got stuck at the end, because I didn't get a genie or something like that earlier. No hints at all that I had to get one, and no savegames near the time I had to get it, so gave up on it.

[Allen]

I have. Lots of times. Which part're you stuck in?

[Isisann]

Allen, Thank you for answering. my problem is the second puzzle on sacred mt. I lost my handbook so i don't knoe the alpha :bye:

[Allen]

Ok. It's OQDG.

O = I told you this one
Q = / steps with 4 dots
D = Looks like a crown
G = Looks like N with black dot

try www.sierraclassics.com there you can find the manuals of the games and handbooks :ok:

Anyone played KQ5? I have trouble removing the "Out of Heap Space" message at the end in Mordack's castle. Have any suggestions?

When I go to sierraclassics.com it's now a site for an automobile dealership in Reno, Nevada! :cry:

Maybe Roger Wilco finally wised up, realized he was never going to make Admiral, and got a real job selling sports cars?

All the early adventures games were the best. I love it.

[goblins]

well good luck is all i can say - i got lets just say i deleted it after half an hour of play LOL.

As for seirra find their main web address and email them about this issue ask them if they can do a webpage again for all their old games. Hints tips and manuals.

King's Quest 6 is one of the best adventure games ever made. Probably the best one Sierra made, and right up there with the LucasArts greats.

I finally beat the long and the short way
:w00t:

This game is tremendous fun, and has beautiful scenery.

As for the game manuals, perhaps you were thinking of www.sierragamers.com (http://www.sierragamers.com/)???

They have the manuals too, in the Museum section.

The original website for the company was sieraonline.com. That's still for sale.

Sierra Online maintained several offices during their heyday. I visited one--appropriately enough, up in the High Sierras, where they got their name from. It was part of a small town, in some of the most beautiful mountainous country you could find. The nearest city of size was down (and I mean, DOWN) in a valley, perhaps 30 miles away. In summer; in winter, I'm sure it was more like 200 miles.

I think the demise of Sierra Online was directed related to their emphasis on what they did best: graphical adventures. The genre itself has largely faded, as players demanded less linearity and greater sophistication. Problem-solving was desirable, but only in the context of a larger environment with other gaming features. I think this was the Coles were aiming at with their later Quest for Glory titles, a kind of hybrid RPG/adventure game. Even so, it didn't prove intriguing enough to newcomers. Too bad.

Incidentally, there is a team working--apparently, very slowly, and in their spare time--on doing a new QfG game. It doesn't include the Coles, but apparently is working with their blessing.
