I followed the link that popped up after I tried to download KQ3 to ESA and it seems as though Sierra is no longer a member there...does that mean that ESA no longer protects it anymore? If it does, I would really appreciate it if it can be put up for downloads (I've been searching for it forever). If not, oh well.....

Caps Lock is never a good help.

You have bought Lard in Port? The Lard IS in the Jar. If you have Lard then you have "empty" Jar too.

since King Quest 3 is on reloaded and 1+2 too.

But my Question is: why is KQ 1+2 Remake on Abadonia too and 3 not? The KQ Remakes 1-3 should only on Reloaded or not?

I had forgotten until I started to replay KQ3 recently how much this game truly sucks.

I'm pretty sure you buy a jar from the shop keeper in the town.

and this has to be one of my all time favorite games.

to each his own.

Personally I think it has a shout at being the best in the KQ series, although a couple of the puzzles are head scratching, but that is better than not having to think at all.

The original quirks of the spell book failures and getting down the mountain are particularly annoying but do lead to some satisfaction also.

My only major problem with the original was the pirate ship. Annoyed the hell outta me.

The remake is very well done also, although may not be on this site as it may not be officially sanctioned by Vivendi in the same way as the 1+2 remakes? Not sure of the situation, but it was developed by a different team.

When the solutions to the puzzles are inconsistent and counter-intuitive and even the walkthrough solution makes you scratch your head in wonderment it doesn't make the game challenging it makes it stupid. If I have the patience to finish this game I am going to make a list of all the stupid and illogical things that I was forced to go to a walkthrough for.

Of course I don't expect everyone to share my opinion. I just think some of the other KQ games were much better.

This is one of my favorites in the KQ series. It has some really unique aspects to it, while still feeling King's-Questy I also really like how there are different ways to solve stuff... the first time I finished the game I didn't even find the map!

And I adore cats, but I still love how you can totally beat up Manannan's (sp?) feline ("hit cat", "punch cat", "kick cat"): "Screeeeeeeeeeeeeech! (heheheh)" :laugh::laugh:
