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

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.

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

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:

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?

hah! That'll be the day...
still its strange... just vanished did it? or is there a different URL?

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

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???

They have the manuals too, in the Museum section.

DOSBox. dosbox.sourceforge.net

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.
