Sorry for all the posts. I'm trying to remember games that at the time ruled. and now really really suck. I'd love to watch some videos of all the Kings Quest games. All 36, or however many, there are now. They were good old fashioned adventure games. P.)

There were only 8 KQ games...9, if you cound the remake of #1. I think the other ones you mean are like Space Quest, Police Quest, Quest for Glory, etc., those were from the same era...do you mean those too? If there IS a way to make runs of these games, can someone let me know? I'm an avid fan of these games (especially, Kings Quest), and I'd be HAPPY to make one, if it's even possible, since they are all PC games.

King's Quest V was realeased for NES. I have a route mapped out for it until you get to the mountains. I was kinda working on it, but I decided to stop since I was using VirtuaNES instead of Famtasia. If you want to do this, I can type up what I have of my walkthough and send it over.

Yeah. I meant all different kinds of early graphics adventure games. Like the game on the homestar site right now. If there is a way, I would love to watch them. Takarifreak, if you make one let me know, that would be awesome to watch. -Ev

KQ5 for NES is a PAIN in the butt, since it requires the use of arrows to simulate the mvement of a mouse. I beat it once, when my version of KQ5 was currupted at the very end, and I couldn't see the ending movie. Although, KQ1 was ALSO released for Sega (and I just remembered that now). I have yet to see how that plays (as I dont have a sega), but I may be able to make a run of that. Assuming I get the emulator and the rom and figure out the whole recording stuff, making a run of that won't be very difficult. I've beaten every KQ game, have walkthroughs for all of them, have played them all to death (and in one game, I've even found a shorter complete path than the official walkthrough). But there are other factors too. With the exception of KQ5 which is VERY linear and almost nothing can be skipped, there's a short path through all teh game (where you focus on how fast, and not full points), OR go for full points within the fastest time

KQ1 was released for the Master System/Mark III, and this aren't any rerecording emulators out yet for that system. Because I am a classic Sierra fan, tell me which game you found the faster route through. I am curious to know :)

The funny thing is, I was just thinking about what a QFG speed run might be like when I saw this thread. If speed runs were ever considered for these games, wonder if it would be possible to implement re-recording in a PC emulator or something? Of course, I doubt anyone would do that.

There wasn't any KQ or the like released for Super Nintendo was there? If there was it might be possible to use the MarioPaint mouse for movement. If not... I guess I'm just out of luck! -Ev

I have actually located the ROMs for KQ1 (for Sega) and KQ5 (for NES)...the only 2 to be made for console. Now, if you people are willing to see these, I'll gladly make them as I know these games like the back of my hand. I'm used to them only on PC though, so on console emulators it might take me some time. KQ1 would be more "entertaining", since you can go for speed. KQ5 is very linear and there is little you can skip.
