(re: Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love For Sail in XP)
When the install asks to check your system, skip the test and just install the game. You will also need this utility, as the setup will be hidden. Leisure Suit Larry 7 – Setup Fix:

For playing DOS games under XP, use VDMSound. It will give you great sound under XP. VDMSound 2.1.0:
I think (but I may be misremembering) that Sonny makes a comment near the beginning of PQ2 that he went back to blond because Marie liked it. He also makes a comment about how she made him trade in his Corvette for a more practical hatchback. I think these two things are said at around the same time.
> to my knowledge people don’t usually dye their eyebrows along with hair, especially when going from dark to blonde.
I do. (Really!)

(re: Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love For Sail in XP) Hi, Yanick. I’ve seen this topic come up alot at the Sierra boards. It happens in alot of games other than LSL7. Try searching for ‘divide by zero’ in the search and you should find people had the same problems. Go here:
http://community.vugames.com/WebX?13@55.5aRAdjX1EtL.26840412@.ee6b529
to the LSL forum. They should help you out. 🙂
Didn’t Roger Wilco have a few hair changes too? I guess that the color of the hair had to do with palette limitations? I don’t have the 16-color EGA palette in front of me right now so I can’t reason my way through it at the moment.
(re: The Colonel’s Bequest – Fingerprints)
Yoweee!
Thank you Trin!
I hope I’ll be able to return the favor somehow.I’m going back to the Colonel house tonight!
🙂Thanks again !!!
(re: Peasent’s Quest – The Game)
I finished it last night! Very funny. I found it rather amusing the way they poke fun at themselves and at the old conventions of the 80’s style Sierra adventure games. It’s all a lot of fun.
Some quite tricky parts where I got stuck for a while, but I got there in the end.
I’m not sure whether there are multiple endings, but I certainly didn’t “win like a hero” in the end, but I think that’s just part of the humour.
I’d recommend to anyone with a sense of humour and a love of the old adventure games to play it.

(re: Question about Shivers creator)
For anyone who was wondering why I asked these questions check out Shivers under games chat or Simply visit http://www.shivers3.cjb.net Thanks!
I did find notice that the pocket protector/camera in LSL5 is called the “Rob Lowe model”, but there never was a LSL5 with speech, was there? In Larry 7 maybe? I’ll have to check…
(re: Space Quest 5 Hint Book) You (or anyone else who might be wondering) shouldn’t post material from this website onto your own website. Instead, you should put a link here and tell people about this site and what they can get here.

(re: Contacting Ken and Doug MacNeill re: Gold Rush ?) I have received several inquiries regarding the MacNeills (apparently their email address isn’t working). I will work on contacting the MacNeills today and will forward the questions of those who asked. I will also post anything here from the guys on how they are doing lately.

(re: The Colonel’s Bequest-Game Extras)
I am so very sorry about that. My computer froze and I lost the first message window. I assumed it wouldn’t make it. I apologize.
(re: Fingerprints) Hmm, I don’t know if Ryan is registered here, but anyway… he has his own website where he’s done some Sierra archival work, and here’s something he’s posted on his site:

(re: Fingerprints) Brandon, option 3 has existed for years in pirated copies.
I shouldn’t say that, but I have such a copy 😉Vincent.
(re: Fingerprints) Option 2 is to use a photo-editing program such as Photoshop to just remove the red color and you’re left with the fingerprints.
Option 3 is to do the screen-capture thing from the game itself and make up a chart that way.
(re: Fingerprints)
Assuming I can get them to scan (by lying the magnifying glass over them on the scanner?) I can scan them for you. Might be a couple days before I can get to it.

(re: The Colonel’s Bequest-Game Extras)
YANNICK – you do not need to post about the same thing twice.
(re: Peasent’s Quest Trailer) It’s also a real tribute (and pardoy) to King’s quest in the sense that the puzzels are maddeningly hard.
But if you look around and try to take random objects,t he game always tells you you’re having a hard time figuring out the puzzels 😉
(re: Quest for Glory & Error 52) Here’s a thread from the QFG boards at the Sierra forums about Error 52:

(re: Peasent’s Quest Trailer)
They’ve put the game up:
http://www.homestarrunner.com/disk4of12.html
It even has save and load capabilities as well as an auto-map feature.
It’s very tongue-in-cheek, but the obvious reminiscing on the part of the authors is nice.
