Hi Ken,
nice to see you care about your past. I almost thought that you just disappeared from the scene (until I found this site through Al Lowe’s site).
And here goes my question:
Let’s say Sierra plans on releasing another King’s Quest game (not something like King’s Quest VIII which had absolutely nothing to do with “advanced adventuring”) – would you or your wife be available as people who have creative input (don’t know how to say that in English exactly since I’m German… but I hope you understand!) like Al Lowe will do for LSL8?After all… thanks for the time you spend on this site and many greetings from my friends who all loved KQ4 the most (don’t know why…) 🙂
Ah, by the way… I had this King’s Quest Collection long time ago (with KQ 1-6 and a demo of KQ 7 on it). There was a video with “The Fun has just begun” or stuff on it. Is it possible to get that video from somewhere since I can’t find the CD anymore. Thanks for your answer(s)!

I just bought a video digitizer. If I get some time this week I’ll upload it!

PS Thanks for all the comments.
PS2 – I forgot to answer your first question about whether Roberta would advise on a new Kings Quest game. I asked Roberta this and she said “no way” – if Sierra would ask her to do a Kings Quest, she would be delighted to do it (which they won’t). But the idea, of giving ideas to someone else on a game that isn’t hers sounds doomed to failure (which is kind of what went wrong on KQ8). -
(re: re: Congratulations!)
She is smart to say that! Why should you give input on a series you created? If she doesn’t have full control over the game then she should decline. I have never actually played KQ8 all the way through but from what I saw at a friend’s house…it is missing the Roberta Williams touch. The same thing is kind of going on with Al Lowe….I wonder if he’ll help or not…and it might be too late to do anything significant to the new game. They should just continue to make their own game based on his old humour, after all they have much content to get ideas from.

>week I’ll upload it!I have the CD with the original AVIs. But, those files were always very low resolution.
Interesting that you bought a video digitizer Ken. I’m sure you’ll be able to make a better copy than those old AVIs from the CDs. But, I hope you are still planning to send the videos to Brad so that he can put them on a DVD.

I am definitely planning to send the videos to Brad .. but, am a little paranoid to do so until I have them digitized (or, copied).

Hi Ken,
thanks for your answers.
It would be great if you could upload those video(s) for us 🙂 I’m not the only one who wants to have it since we are at least 10 persons (within my circle of friends) who loved the old aventures made by Sierra (and – if I’m allowed to say that *hehe* – LucasFilmGames).If you want to you can send me an eMail with the link or
publish it here!Okay, let’s get a little further, Roberta: Let’s say Sierra WOULD indeed give you the chance to create a new King’s Quest game (btw. why wouldn’t they want? I know, Sierra seems to be more some kind of publisher than developer nowadays but moving “backwards” can mean a big jump to the front sometimes!) – would you accept some kind of co-creator besides you? And what about Phantasmagoria which was a fantastic game? Did you keep the rights for that series? (Or Jane Jensen?)
I wish you both luck with your ongoing life and I hope that this site will stay as a reminder for all the people who loved the old Sierra adventures.
Many greetings

>digitized (or, copied).Of course, totally understandable and adviseable. If you post some here of your digitized versions, it would also be a good alternative for those who, for whatever reason, might not want to buy the DVD.
