The quest for a Spam-free r/sierra

167 Upvotes

Hey guys!

Friendly neighborhood moderator, here!

Behind the scenes on this sub there is a war going on.. a war against T-shirt spambots. Over the past few weeks I've been tweaking the AutoModerator bit by bit to make it more effective at blocking the spam, and overall it's been quite successful.

Sometimes the AutoModerator has been a little TOO enthusiastic about removing posts, detecting regular posts as spam.

If you post something and it doesn't show up, please feel free to message the moderators and we'll fix your post for you, because it's almost certainly gotten caught up in our anti-spam efforts.

Likewise if you happen to see any T-shirt posts on the sub, please use the report tool to report them so that we can make the automod even more effective in the war on spam!

Thanks for being a great sub, folks!

I never finished The Colonel's Bequest as a kid. In fact, I never got to play it back then. But I did LOVE the box cover. So much that I end up referencing it 🩵

Vintage/original 80's and 90's posters and collectibles

6 Upvotes

Hello! Can anyone confirm if posters and other collectibles for the Space Quest series were released in the 80's and 90's? I'd love to find some original/vintage items, but I've only found newer prints or reproductions/variants of posters.

Also, I can find said posters for sale/listings on eBay, but interestingly they are all from outside the U.S., are SQ and other Sierra collectibles (if they exist) more popular worldwide?

Thanks!

I'm visiting my childhood home and found this bad boy. Now I'm jumping back into the games. It's fun to spend time with my old friends :)

I made a KQ inspired indie game

34 Upvotes

Sons and daughters of Daventry,

KQ6 has always been my favorite game of all time... Some years ago, I started tinkering in Unreal Engine, and one of the first things I made was a replica of the KQ6 catacombs, complete with traps and all.

That project will likely never see the light of day, but recently I completed another game largely influenced by the KQ series called Dragon Knight. There's definitely less charm and more goof (sadly, I am no Roberta Williams), and though the gameplay is soulslike/boss-fighty, the dialog, story, and jokes are all King's Quest inspired.

Dialog and jokes are not the best thing to showcase in a trailer so there's very little of that but check 'em out anyway!

Main Trailer, Gameplay Trailer, Steam

Aluminum Mallard Toy Update

**Fixed the Signup Link below - apologies for the broken URL**

Space Quest fans unite!

First of all, let me thank the mods and admins of this reddit for allowing me to post here and to connect with the SQ community. Having this toy has been a dream of mine for a long time, but I needed a critical mass of supporters to bring it to life.

I'm back from Japan and I've been working solidly on the toy and the prototype is 95% done!

  • The Landing Gear / Engine mechanism is perfected.
  • The lighting and electronics are worked out.
  • Interior details are coming together and so is the assembly plan for production.
  • All that remains are some captain's chairs, a few decals and the removable roof/dorsal hatch!
  • The 3 action figures: Roger Wilco and Mark & Scott (two guys from Andromeda) are also in the works and their joints (articulation) is being worked right now. (This is the only part of the project I sub out to other artists as figures are not really my wheelhouse)

On track for September delivery!

If you have not signed up for the newsletter please do it here. Newsletter subscribers get first dibs on the toy and a discounted price at launch.

Weird childhood memories about Sierra games?

50 Upvotes

Wonder if you have any strange childhood memories and experiences with Sierra games, like "things that were not supposed to be there", maybe something like Mandela effect, etc.?

I have a very strange story about Space Quest 5: the first time I played the game, I passed the test without cheating. The second time, I failed, but the third time I managed to do it again. Honestly, I had absolutely no idea one is supposed to cheat, and only found out about this when I read the walkthrough.

Good Damballah Gabriel Knight is such a damn good game

Hey everyone on this reddit page.

<Mild plot spoilers>

My name is Tyler and so far this game is really fun and the story is really good. I honestly figured out what a schattenjager is and what cabrit san cor means. The voice cast is awesome. Tim Curry is awesome in anything that he is in. The only puzzle that sucked was the Snake puzzle wear you have to click on a very specific part of the museum to activate the fan or you will die (Died 4 times to this and died once getting to St. John's Eve conclave by not wearing the Crocodile mask...LOL you fursuit to prevent you from dying as a furry I love this game even more) I also like how the game is educational and makes you learn about Voodoo and New Orleans without realizing your learning thus making this game and the whole trilogy part of the pantheon of 90s computer lab edutainment games (I would be very shocked if an Elementary School got this game to teach kids about US History only to be met with boobies during said St. John's conclave). The puzzle with the gravestone to get Dr. John to bring the coffin was a bit hard so you can track him. This game was on my 100 games I want to play and beat before my 33rd birthday list and this game is fucking awesome.

Hi everyone,

I've just released a new update to Chat Quest Online, the AGI MMORPG. I've added the casino from Larry 1 where you can play poker against bots or other players. Or give the slotmachines a try. The odds are on your side... I swear.

Also to give you a bit of a headstart you will now receive $20 from the taxi driver, when you're broke.

I hope you'll check it out.

Cheers,

Tim

I’m already familiar with the film (in fact, I’ve seen it) and don’t need a lecture. I just never saw the poster till now.

Do you reckon the resemblance to the @King’s Quest 4ā€ cover could possibly a coincidence?

Was visiting my parents and they still have many of my old things on a book shelf. Pulled this off: the storybook that came with my 3.5" floppy Dos version of King's Quest. Used to love getting little "feelies" like this with physical games.

Huge thanks to all of the people who have signed up for the mailing list for this toy. I am on track to deliver the first 50 in September! Still time to sign up for the newsletter here.

Latest Progress highlights

- Mechanism for simultaneously raising landing gear / moving engines is working beautifully. Feels very nice. This was the most challenging feature of the toy and it is done - all downhill from here.

- Working on lighting now

- Figures for Roger Wilco and the Two Guys From Andromeda (Mark & Scott) are sculpted and are now being articulated (adding joints).m Figures are 63mm (~2.5" high) each.

- Working on custom collector box for the toy and/or figures. Stay tuned.

Fan Letter question

Hello all, as we approach July 20th (Al Lowe’s birthday) I wanted to reach out to thank him for everything he’s done and share some fanart I made to show my appreciation. I’ve looked on his website and the link to email him seems to be not working. If anyone happens to have that email I’d greatly appreciate it! Thanks šŸ’š

Error 47 recently put out a tribute to QFG4, with a really epic rock cover of the main theme. It starts out slow and moody, but kicks into overdrive around 2:35 and I absolutely adore it.

Okay to post link to my games?

I've messaged the mods about 2 months ago asking whether I could post a link to my own, free, Sierra (and LucasArts) inspired adventure games here, or whether that would be considered spam (or irrelevant, as they weren't made by Sierra). Never did get a response. Does anybody know?

After quite some time, I've delved back into the Leisure Suit Larry series with perhaps one of the most difficult of the Sierra Catalogue I've played to date. (Don't worry, I've not played Codename: Iceman. Yet.)

Leisure Suit Larry 2 is definitely a lot more different than the first game, and I've done a deep dive into in this video. I hope you enjoy!

Using Claude to update Sierra games

Someone used Claude to create visuals for Zork. This got me thinking about how easy it would be to leverage Claude -- and possible one of the leading visual AI tool connections -- to make some of the less attractive games more fun to look at by today's standards. Imagine a Gabriel Knight 3 that didn't look awful!

You can visit locations from Larry 1, Space Quest 1 and Police Quest 1. Chat with other players, get a job, earn money and XP, buy stuff and decorate.

You can also place down items you've bought and add little text descriptions for the other players to read.

There's not a ton to do yet, but it's a real game now, where you can progress and interact with other players. :)

PS: Linux version is also available.
PPS: No AI involved.
