Fan made King's Quest- "The Silver Lining" finally released!

Post by J T »

This fan-made game was nearly canned by Activision who holds the rights to the Sierra King's Quest series. However, there was an outpouring of internet support because this little project has been in the works for YEARS. So, Activision changed their mind, met with the developers, and this game is now released! Woo Hoo!

And, yeah, it is free! Download here:

Can anyone vouch for the quality of the game, or is this just a lame re-make?

Wow, koodos to Activision for listening to the fans on this one. They could have easily taken the square-enix route.

The game is pretty decent, I originally didn't like the way the camera system worked but it grew on me, the voice acting is hit and miss, Grahams voice is pretty good while the narrator I find horrid. So far its a pretty decent game, I would say commercial quality, but maybe 5 year old commercial quality.
