Wow! I hadn't listened to this album in a long time 🤩

Did you know that the Atari ST was used in the creation of the tracks?

In this 2016 video, Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim) is dissecting the track "The Rockafeller Skank" in his studio. You can see an Atari ST there! 😀

Well, I think I'll go back to an old save, because I let a character die, I didn't have the latest version of the jetpack, and I'd like to try out another weapon modification. And get a different ending!

J'ai eu un flash en te lisant : j'avais le masque quand j'étais petit ! 😀

I don't remember this Sierra magazine (official?) being published in France. But maybe I missed it.

I've completed steps 2 and 3 of the build 😀 (there are 5 steps in total)

It's full of little bricks to assemble and ingenious systems to simulate pressing buttons.

I'll stop there for today, to make the fun last longer.

Au cinéma, ce fut absolument fou et immersif (je crois l'avoir vu deux fois). Mais sur une simple télé, j'ai trouvé ça terriblement ennuyeux 😞

Si un jour j'ai la chance de le revoir en salles, je fonce !

And I got the first ending (the easiest one)

No screenshot, so as not to spoil the moment for those who want to (re)play it 🙂

Et en plus, je me suis trompé sur la date du remake 🙂 (la faute au wikipedia français)

Le remake est sorti en 1990. En 1987, Sierra On-Line n'avait pas encore fait la grosse mise à jour de son moteur de jeu d'aventure (en 1988, avec KQ IV)

Voici le même écran que tu as posté (version 1984 donc !)

King's Quest: Quest for the Crown (dont tu as posté un screenshot) est le remake 1987 du premier King's Quest (1984).

Il n'y avait pas encore de rivalité avec Lucasfilm Games, dont le premier jeu d'aventure (Labyrinth) n'est sorti qu'en 1986 (Maniac Mansion ne sortira qu'en 1987).

I'm in no hurry :) It's just unfortunate that many (?) boxes have been damaged.

There was news today on Kickstarter.

Unfortunately, many boxes (French, German, etc.) have been damaged, and we now have to wait until the end of March to receive our copies.

Oui, il y a pas mal de jeux connus qui ont été conçus avec MonoGame. Et c'est très bien adapté pour faire de petits jeux 2D (et plus ambitieux)

Celui qui en parle le mieux, c'est bien sûr @thomas.flying-oak.com, très calé sur le sujet 😀
