The same group that remade(and reworked and revised) King’s Quest I and II several years ago has now made King’s Quest III. They also previously remade Quest for Glory 2, doing a great job on that as well.
It’s free and I haven’t played it yet, but am looking forward to it. I’m a big fan of what they did with the first two, especially 2, which they more or less completely remade.
It’s free, too. Available for Apple computers and PC.
I’m stunned I did not hear about this. What a fun group of people.

Yeah, they didn’t announce it way in advance this time. They just announced it and released it.
I hope they remake IV sometime. That game was awesome.

Cool! You can also get the remakes of KQ 1 & 2 for free, and Quest for Glory 2, as well.

Yeah, everything is free that is an update/remake.
Their All Emmo game is pretty cool, too. Not amazing, buy pretty neat.

KQ 3 was kind of disappointing to me, once you escape the house the game only has like 3 more scenes. ☹
Rock I always wanted to play Q4G but it wouldn’t run on my old PCjr.
Now we need somebody to save homeoftheunderdogs. ☹

Is homeoftheunderdogs dying?
You should play Quest for Glory 4. It works fine on my Windows XP computer. It’s a great game, the best of the series.

Even though it’s the second newest, QfG4 was actually the worst when it come to modern computers. There’s the part where you have to enter the corpse-hand swamp and retrieve a scroll from one of those Cthulhu-wizards. It would always crash there due to some coding bug that involves not checking the speed of your computer or something. I believe there are workarounds, but you have to watch yourself in that game.

True. You can use “cpukiller” to slow your computer down and the game will work a lot better. It’s how I’ve played it.

Cool, but my least favorite QFG.
