I put this one on my personal Youtube channel (wasn't sure if the CLUE music would cause a copyright strike)... The opening of COLONEL'S BEQUEST, to one of my favorite movie's opening music... CLUE.

Adam from EcoQuest and Roger from Space Quest meeting each other -- given their respective "careers", I thought that they'd sort of be kindred spirits.

A Halloween Treat - the It Takes Two to Tangle soundtrack!
Featuring: All the music you've heard in the game (200+ tracks, all by the wonderful Liam Barnesdale), a bonus track chock full of melodies from the King's Quest series, and a handful of droll track titles.

If one of these eggs were to be taken from its mother before it hatched, it would undoubtedly be one of the largest and most valuable gems in the world...however, none who have attempted such a perilous feat have returned victorious...

Lost Mind of Dr. Brain
Did anyone else play this? I totally played it all the time as a kid (despite obviously the age being 12+) and I just loved all the puzzles. I wish they could somehow bring it back on steam or something…I would totally buy it and play it again.

GOG games now "widescreen"?
I downloaded Police Quest 3 for my new laptop and it's now stuck in widescreen mode, messing up the proportions slightly.
How do I fix this, or do I need to salvage my old version from my old laptop?

Graphics technology vs graphics as art: am I the only one who thinks Conquests of Camelot looks amazing? (sure technology/resolution improved later, but look at the art design in these examples)

Best ever text parser adventure game?
I asked this elsewhere, but I thought this was also a good place to bring this up. In your opinion, which is the best adventure game that used a text parser? (not point and click) I think Colonel's Bequest might be top pick.

Most weird/cryptic deaths in Sierra games?
This topic is for the most weird or cryptic deaths in Sierra games. The ones I know are:
- In SQ1, if you press the big red button that says "Don't press", the shuttle pod crashes near the castle from King's Quest 1 (or the Nottingham castle in the VGA version).
- Again, in SQ1, if you navigate into the wrong space sector, you get attacked by a mysterious ship that looks like the Romulan Warbird.
- Also in SQ1: if you crawl into a hole in the giant skeleton, you end up eaten by someone, with the death message "this will teach you not to be messing around in strange holes" - but you never find out who or what ate you.
- In SQ3 in Monolith Burger, if you try to get into an alien spaceship twice, you end up shot by a mysterious guy in black spacesuit. The death message ("Don't trust guys in black spacesuits") implies that he was someone shady, but again, no details.
- Willy Beamish has two endings in which Willy chooses the wrong tunnel underground and ends up either in the Twilight Zone or in Rise of the Dragon.
- In LSL1, if you get killed by a mugger in the alley near Lefty's Bar, your body is brought underground to a factory where they are building animatronic characters for multiple Sierra games, like King Graham and the dragon.

A finished version of a sketch I made back in 2011 of Mathilde and King Otar having an awkward little chit-chat with Edgar post-King's Quest VII.

How do you play Jones in the Fast Lane on modern computers with voice acting?
I've tried multiple times to make ScummVM run the CD version with voice acting but I keep failing every time. The music lowers a bit during dialogue sequences but no voice acting can be heard.
