King's Quest III remake

[A Black Falcon]

King's Quest IX is still on track, they had to change the name though. So now it's just "The Silver Lining" instead of "King's Quest IX: Every Cloak Has a Silver Lining".

Yes, after far more fan protests than Vivendi probably expected. Remember, they were initially completely shut down, and then people started to protest, more than anyone probably thought would, so Vivendi allowed them to continue, once they'd dropped the "KQIX" name (which was a stupid name to use... I know KQ is probably dead, but if it ever IS brought back, it'd need that name...)...

The Williams duo don't seem to take issue either. They just warn that Sierra might, which so far Sierra is shying away from. Sad to see that the original makers of the series don't have legal ownership of it... Sierra, ah the days when it was still awesome...

As I said, while they could really crack down on this stuff, like other companies, Vivendi has been pretty lenient... they may have nothing left of the Sierra legacy themselves (and they don't), but at least they aren't completely stopping fans from trying to continue it...

(all they need are front loaders, they are already up to the same graphical standard)

I believe SCUMMVM's next project will be getting the Sierra adventure games working... good luck, they'll need it... :)

Onto another rant, I'm getting closer and closer to saying "autorun is overrated" and just permanently disabling the autorun functionality of my cd/dvd drives. Too many horror stories of things like Sony's rootkit CDs and stuff to warrent having it on anymore and to be honest what did it ever save me? A couple of clicks?

I've had autorun disabled on this machine for years, but that's because some software (I forget what) killed it at some point and I got used to being without it... :)
