King’s Quest I VGA

Posted on by

For our one-year anniversary, we return to our roots with the AGD remake of King’s Quest I! A square castle in beautiful VGA colors!

See the doodles!

Playlist:

Part 1: Can Sir Graham complete a fetch quest or three for the Winter Warlock?

Part 2: We get a butt-pat from a dwarf, give soup to a woodcutter with an immaculately-groomed mustache, steal gold from a giant, and find everyone’s favorite gnome: Ifnkovhgroghprm!

Part 3: After failing to catch a condor several times, we make leprechauns dance to death and get put in charge of the squarest of castles, thereby finishing the game. That’s it. It’s, uh, not a very long game.

The Apple ][ classic! Based on a true story! Kind of!

Warning: audio levels are a bit uneven, so keep one finger on the volume control.

Playlist:

Part 1: Can the Player, the Doodlr, the Sister, Sirwats, and a square cat make it all the way to the Willamette Valley?

Part 2: We travel with dwarves and Jimmy crackin’ corn, endure slow-moving rivers and ear-splitting tunes, and give all our clothes to Indians. At least the wagon doesn’t explode again.

Mario Kart 64

Good idea: playing Mario Kart 64 with some friends (namely, The Puppeteer and The Red Flapper).

Bad idea: playing Mario Kart 64 with a D-Pad that doesn’t let you steer correctly.

GREAT idea: playing Mario Kart 64 with *four* D-Pads that don’t let *any* of you steer correctly.

Note: For some reason none of the game audio was recorded. Therefore, I put some background music in the video, mostly either from official Mario soundtracks or remixes from ocremix.org.

Chrono Trigger: Great RPG? Or the greatest RPG?

See the doodles!

Part 43, featuring The Player’s niece: Time-Traveling 12-Year-Old Lucca! Also, Magus kills off a trio of rock legends!

Part 44: Krang’s robot suit has seen better days. Also, ramen hatred.

Part 45: After Lucca goes back in time to try to save her mother’s legs, The Player goes back in time because he screwed up the sequence!

Part 46: Giving jerky to the mayor somehow inadvertently kills everyone in the sequel (spoilers?). But at least Lucca gets a better gun.

Is the statue a man or a woman? Vote now!

Part 47: Pouring soda pop on some guy’s grave leads to underground dinosaurs. It doesn’t make much more sense in context.

Part 48, featuring a trial that really makes no sense. Law and Order this ain’t. At least a princess jumps through a stained-glass window.

Part 49: Where do robots come from? You’ll probably have to wait a few months to find out. Or go play the game yourself or something.

Have you ever seen a thirtysomething guy who loves basketball, another thirtysomething guy who doesn’t really care about basketball, and a twelve-year-old girl who barely knows anything about basketball all play a Super Nintendo basketball game together?

Part 1: Utah vs. Atlanta, featuring special guest star Time-Traveling 12-year-old Lucca. Will John Stockton out-dunk Dominique Wilkins?

Part 2: Cleveland vs. New York. Witness the raw power and awesomeness of some guy missing a bunch of layups!
