By the way, if you get a free moment check out Tierra Entertainment -forgive me for being to lazy to hotlink it - they have re-made the first three Kings Quest installments, and the first Quest For Glory - So You Want To Be A Hero game (they are currently working on the final animations for the second QFG) in VGA with speech-packs and all for the best price ever, free to download.
Tierra/AGD Interactive remade the first two King's Quest games and are indeed working on a remake of Quest for Glory II. However, the remake of King's Quest III was by a group called Infamous Adventures. Also, there has been no remake of Quest for Glory I except for the official Sierra remake. It's against AGDI's policy to remake games that have existing VGA versions.

I also believe another group (with many of the members involved in Tierra) are releasing an all new installation for the Kings Quest series, so as to make up for the piss-weak effort that Vivendi Entertainment released. The new project, which I think is called "Every Cloak Has a Silver Lining" or something like that, even has the glorious blessing from Roberta Williams
To the best of my knowledge, no Tierra/AGDI members are involved with The Silver Lining. After all, they've been too busy with QFGII and their first commercial game "Al Emmo & the Lost Dutchman's Mine" (released under the Himalaya Studios brand)
Thank you very much for giving TSL, and other games from the King's Quest fan community a plug. The support of the fans is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the tips, guys. VG Pro seems like a pretty cool site! I even downloaded a torrent program. Using it has caused me to recall why I stopped using P2P. You can only get what those who are hooked up to the other end are willing to give you.
I saw a Leisure Suit Larry compilation pack at the store for $20 the other day. I think I'll get it. I'm also gonna go find me a copy of Playboy: The Mansion, because if I'm gonna play a sim game, I'd might as well pretend to be Hugh Hefner.

Torrents are actually pretty fast depending on its popularity.. I usually get a range of 30kB/s to 300 kB/s for semi-popular torrents. Of course, it doesn't hurt to know how to configure the crap out of your internet connection and the torrent program.

While I admit to never having played this I was interested in it, until I talked with friends who bought it. They said the game is horrible. So has almost every review of the game I have read. just a word of caution before spending your money on it. IIRC i read one review that said it was easier to have "realistic" sex in the Sims/sims2 than it is in Playboy: The Mansion.
