quest for glory (1 Viewer)

[snakeoils]

ok, i know this is a long shot, but i was wondering if any of you smart computery people know whether its possible for me to get Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness (aka Quest for Glory IV... im assuming some people remember the series, i mean, come on!) working on XP??

i downloaded the game from kazaa, installed it and all that jazz... it does all the intro and everything but as soon as i click something the window closes itself.

any advice?

perhaps if you had not downloaded it from kazaa and bought the proper copy from a store then it may be so kind to work for you. no seriously though, please, no talk of warez here.

Guys if you aren't old enough to remember the King's Quest series then you wouldn't know it's old enough to be abandonware.

In fact some developers went to enough trouble to re-code one of the King's Quest games in full colour.

Anyway, towards your problem: if you are running Windows XP, right-click on the EXE file, select properties, goto Compatibility, and try out the various version and display settings there.

Frigid, I'd like you to tell me what store I can walk into in Australia to purchase any of the original King's Quest games.

Next time think before you blurt out a rote response to anything that mentions "Kazaa."

yoshi is right.

i'm pretty sure those games are now abandonwares.

I loved the Kings quest and police quests series.

It's fine to talk about warez.

Just don't link to any or give hints as to where to download warez.

I'm pretty sure that quest for glory is an old abandoned game.

google it.

definately correct RR and Yoshi, abandonware is something i don't mind discussion, but just don't post a link to Windows 3.11 disks ... please!!

Lol. I remember to play the latest cool games on my friend's commodore 64 we had to connect the cassette tape deck and press the "play" button. Funny that it was only around 10 years ago!

Nope. A CD. Windows 3.1 on CD.
