Hey Tom,
If you would actually scan the disks themselves with their labels at 300 DPI and save as PSD or TIF, that would be great for the continuing archival efforts.
As for the disk contents, the demos, if you want to email them to me at klassen at hotmail dot com I’ll upload them here at SierraGamers in a permanent location, and provide a mirror as well at another permanent location.
I had this same point bug happen to me as well. It was in the original King’s Quest release, not any of the remakes. I kept the save game because I thought it was a cool bug and I remember intending to submit a picture of it way back in the day to the magazine, but I never got around to it. I’m sure with enough searching I could still dig up the save game. Think it was around 1993.
I think it would be great! I hope someone does.
If it were someone who already had a contract with a publisher, I think I could do a lot to help them.

Al, it might be good to have the The Gabriel Knight 4 Campaign site listed in the links here, too.
Wow, sorry for that BIG delay in responding. (Over a year)
I’ll try to find them again. In the past year I purchased a new home and moved in. So everything was boxed up and shipped to the new place. Now I have the fun of unpacking a lifetime of items. I’m finding new things every day (Oh so THATS where that was) I’m sure you understand.
Once I find them, I’ll upload pictures of the disks. They didn’t come in anything since they were disks ordered through our headquarters so I think when we got them, it was a floppy in a clear plastic baggy. I know, thrilling.
And I’ll also try to upload the actual demos to a new server so they are able to be downloaded once again.
Take Care, Tom.
Hello, I am a first time poster here. I too am a student
interested in game design. I am a senior, and a computer science major. Both my
girlfriend, of 3 years, and I are in the processes of beginning our Masters in
CS. I would love to hear any advice you may have about the game industry.We both love your games, and enjoyed their masterful
storytelling. With so many of today’s games having budgets the size of
blockbuster movies, it seems lately many are lacking the depth your games had.

…Williams, Ken, 2007-05-14 01:14:13I haven’t seen them here recently….
…Do you have an idea when they will show up? 🙂
PS how is the boat.
From two other persons born in May… (May 2 me and my wife May 21) Let me say, happy birthday Roberta, and thanx so much for the years of enjoyment you have brought us both, not only in our youth, but still to this day. 🙂
They had originally moved it to Atlantic City before scrapping it for 2007. If they do end up doing it, it may end up there instead of LV.
The next one (2008) is tentatively supposed to be in Las Vegas correct? I thought I had saw a flyer somewhere. That is driveable for me as I am in CA.
You may already know this, but just in case, Sierra’s early adventure games ran under a scripting language interpreter called AGI. My guess is that the C64 either didn’t have enough memory, or enough processing power to support the interpreter.
Crap! All the links are blocked by my firewall at work!
Guess I have to wait till I get home
BTW, the first link (fates) doesn’t work…
Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a PQ remake. Back in 2005, there was a group (can’t remember their name atm) that was planning to remake PQ2 but at the end of 2005 the project was abandoned.
After that, there hasn’t been news on a new remake…
Dear Ken and Roberta, (First of all a million thanks…(see other category.))
I was wondering why Sierra never published the KQ or SQ games on the Commodore 64? It should easily have been able to handle the equivalent of EGA graphics and had great sound capabilities (though I’m sure you knew this.)
Thanks,
Steve
