I've got several versions of KATA on my hard drive, but I've forgotten which one I released for the MAGS contest about a year and a half ago. Does anyone still have a copy of that one?

*snerk*. Well, we've got an unfilled void of 2004-2009 to choose from if a specific place on the timeline is desired.

No, it's not the game intentionally doesn't even specify what age she is.

And where would ROAE go on the timeline?

Why, right at Mika's birthday, of course  :

Well, it took me a while to get around to this, but here we go.

The biggest sticking point has to do with the movie theater.

Fixed. Although I have no idea what "a simple push-button" is

it is somewhat of a missed opportunity to add some character depth to little/new characters

That's a good point, and I'll keep that in mind for future games. When writing Root, I was simply not familiar enough with little and new characters to include those.

The description of the alley between the Parkview restaurant & Pelboz flowers as "stinking of garbage" is one I find inaccurate

Also fixed.

http://crystalshard.net/zip/ROOT.ZIP - please let me know if this is more acceptable.

This here map right here is the most up to date map of the town so far.

Frankly I don't see any discrepancies between that map and Root. Perhaps you can enlighten me what exactly the issue is, otherwise I'm just shooting in the dark.

The only thing I can think of is that Root posits that the nameless law office on the map went bankrupt and the building is now being used for something else. Is that an issue? Or am I missing something?

I think it's due to the location of some of the backgrounds, apparently they're in the wrong places in relation to each other.

Hm, okay. I don't recall which particular map or other game that was based upon. Well, I'd be happy to change that if you want me to.

Out of curiosity - what events in Root Of All Evil are considered to contradict canon? Because I don't think it contains any major events, really. It definitely doesn't belong on the main "must play" list, but I'm surprised to learn it's on the list of controversies along with Davy Jones C'est Mort and the Commander Keen game

Wait, what happened to HOTU, then?

Does anyone have a copy of this game, King's Quest ZZT?

I'm still looking for King's Quest 3: Manannan's Adventure

and would also be interested in locating Maniac Jackson.

Thanks!

Does anyone have the executable for
*King's Quest 3: Manannan's Adventure and/or
*Space Quest: the Goliath Series?

Thanks!

What Would Jesus D...

Goal: Is to make most advanced and greatest game WITHOUT using ANY
script

What would be the point of that? If you count the interaction editor, you can basically make whatever you like but you're just restricting people to a somewhat awkward method. If you don't allow the IE either, you can't feasibly make a game, just a bunch of graphics and sounds.

If we are to make MAGS suggestions... I think it'd be cool to have a MAGS game with multiple playable characters and cooperative puzzle solving, like in Gobliins2 or Maniac Mansion. Just my $.2

This is one awesmoe video!

(also, I couldn't resist mentioning the new ATOTK trailer: )

I believe HOTU has it.

Does anyone know if Kippesoep ever published some material or a demo for his allegedly-defunct Space Quest II remake?

Cool! I'm looking for Quest for Orgy.
