For those of you who are fans of Sierra's Adventure Games, the VGA fan remake of King's Quest II by Tierra Entertainment is now available for download at http://www.tierragames.com. Given what these folks did with their VGA remake of King's Quest I, it's worth the 100+ MB download -- and besides improving graphics and music/sound and implementing a point-n-click interface, KQ2+VGA is purported to improve upon several more aspects of KQ2, like the storyline and backstory, the puzzles, and the musical score and atmosphere. No voice acting here like there was in KQ1VGA -- but that's because there's a lot more conversation added to the game. So, check it out -- and download KQ1VGA also and play it first if you haven't seen it either. :)
[... and, you'd best do it now, before the site gets slashdotted yet again for this release, and the servers really get bogged down.] [And, another note -- it might matter which browser you're using, so if you can't seem to connect with one, or if connection speeds are unusually slow (and assuming it's not because of heavy traffic), try another! I'm currently pulling the best connection speeds with Mozilla 1.2.1, where as the connection was slow with IE 6.0.26 -- and unusually so, I couldn't even connect with Opera 6.05. So, again -- try different browsers if you can't seem to connect.]
[Edit: Now it should be fixed -- it was a server-side problem, actually. Still odd that Opera couldn't connect, whereas the other browsers could, though -- but nothing to worry about right now. :) ]
So, again folks -- download and enjoy the games! They should be worth it! [I'm going to see if I can wait until after my finals to even install the title... ^_^;]
So... IT'S "FLITZ TIME" EVERYBODY! | NEXT STAGE IS 7 |

My Sierra fan friend believes that the people working at Tierra are former Sierra employees.
