Revisiting the series?

[MusicallyInspired]

The KQC I have came with a big thick manual with all (most?) of the contents from each game's manual included. All the text, anyway. I think some of the images made it in from KQ6. The KQ5 copy protection is even included even though it's not needed. It also contains manual information for LB1, LB2, and MUMG Deluxe. Oh, and the four included Apple hi-res games.

I still also have my KQ3 and KQ4 manuals, though. In fact, I think I even have KQ2. I don't have KQ1, though. Very nice parchment-like manuals.

I think I bought my KQ Collection from Steam.


Yup there it is. Ah, good stuff.

Though I'm skipping part 3 in favor of AGDI's right now since I'm playing through the games again.

Those would be cool to have.


edit: Gah... apparently not. (I just looked at KQC on Steam.)

I wish it did.




I remember that KQ4 manual from years past. (It was my family's first ever adventure game.) God knows where it is now. When I got KQ3 from my brother in law, he only had a photocopy of the manual.

Search Ebay. Sometimes really interesting stuff comes up. I remember once--this was years ago--A collection of Sierra background paintings came up, I think from KQV. I couldn't afford it at the time sadly. I know I also once saw a poster of KQVII--Like a movie style poster, same size different from the cover art of KQVII.

Odd. I believe the Space Quest Collection had every manual with it. (Or at least the SQ1 manual, since it was necessary to get around that pesky copy protection.)

[MusicallyInspired]

The Space Quest Collection (at least the one I have, the Collector's Edition, two discs with SQs 1-6, 6 demo, SQ1 remake and original, bonus arcade game, etc) comes with one manual and all the necessary information and copy protection included in it.

I wonder if that is the same manual that came with Roberta Williams Anthology. That package included all the RW games to that point in time. So it didn't have KQ8 or Phantasmagoria in any but demo form. And it also has all the Apple II games she designed, like Mission Asteroid.

The Roberta Williams Anthology manual and KQ Collection II manual are different, but have some similiarties...

The RWA manual is even thicker, because of the extra games the collection came with.
