wow.... what a trip down memory lane for me
My sons and I played all the sierra quests series' together ..........
starting w/ King's Quest on my AT clone (8-12mhz!)....... those were many,
many great hours we spent together
My son taught himself to read because he was so motivated to play along...
he was 5 then..... he's 19 now! and my 2 sons still don't forgive me for
eating the porridge in KQ3.... we had to replay the whole game to recover
from that blunder......... but we were newbies then :)
