Well now I want to know what a minimal super sleuth run looks like. Spy on an empty room, eat two crackers and blammo, greatest detective to have ever lived.

I love how Laura just casually lowers Gloria’s body back down in the well as if she never saw it 🧐🧐

I love how much effort was put into the game. They didn't have much in terms of technology but they really used their resources to the fullest.

My favorite colonels bequest oddity is that you can, through intense incompetence, see no dead bodies until Lilian's, but the narration still begs for the killing to stop.

My favorite thing about this game conceptually is the fact that they named it specifically to keep Quest in the title. "Look at butt" is a close second.

I rarely comment on videos on KZfaq, but I just want to say, OneShortEye made me realize how complex and fun are point and click games. Thanks for introducing me (again) to a genre of games and speedrunning of said genre. I look forward to more videos!

The attention to detail with the well in 1989, really the whole game, is bananas. Man I miss Sierra

I play none of these games but you still make me enjoy them. Thanks for all your work

There's something charming about the age when patches for bugs and oddities like these were not a serious option. One run of disks, and that was that. Only some truly colossal games like Civilization wound up with bugfixes in their different printings.

My son loves watching Pushing Up Roses play this. He's 5.

Dude! Your video on Colonel's Bequest is one of my favorite videos on your channel! Not only in just introducing me to the game in the best way possible but also showcasing so much little things and details that were packed in games like this!!

Had no idea that there were doors in the secret passages you could use to get into the rooms. Man this game is chock full of little details. It’s really unique. Also no wonder I didn’t get the cigar entry last time I played. I must have looked at the cigar too late.

'Look at butt' is how you speedrun a date as well

Hell yeah, more Colonel's Bequest stuff. Love the videos.

I love these little secrets. It's great that a game from so long ago could be packed with so many details!

I come back to your original Colonel's Bequest video once every few months, so I was ecstatic to see this!! Great video as always, thank you for a good start to October! This game honestly never fails to amaze me and I would so happily watch a 10 hour video on it X)

no way! i watch your original video on this game all the time to get to sleep. what an exciting new video to see :)

Another terrific video, thank you! I guess now the only thing missing is YOUR "Ultimate Colonel's Bequest Walkthrough - Definitive Edition"

Honey wake up new OSE video just dropped.

I love these videos. I grew up playing Sierra games, but the Laura Bow games in particular were always a little too scary for me, lol. I never got far in them. Watching this makes me want to try them out now!! I had no clue there was this much detail to discover.

Color me shock how this game never makes in Top lists of best Detective Games, not even a mention! I intent to do a detective game soon and this is one of my inspirations

Laura casually walking through a brick wall reminds me of how in Mario 64, you had to jump into a wall to enter one of the stages in the basement. Hopefully Laura doesn't have too much trouble with Eye-rok.

This is absolutely the best Roberta Williams Sierra game. Change my mind.

I wanted to write that I binged a lot of your videos in one sitting to get me through a really awful sleepless night I was having. Thanks for the wonderful content, so rich with details and intrigue.

I REALLY liked the other vid about this game. Didnt even know it before that.

I can’t wait for the next Colonel’s Bequest video with 5-10 more things. 😁

What a coincidence! I just rewatched the first Colonel's Bequest video recently because something reminded me of it. It's great to see more about it!

You are a master of your craft, I love your videos!

Omgee I’ve watched the original Colonel’s Bequest video so much I almost have it memorized so obviously I was super psyched to see this in my feed. I love all your videos so much thank you for making them!!!!

I LOVE that this was only posted 7 months ago and already has over 40K views!! I didn't realize there were so many people like me who still fondly remember these games! I played Laura Bow probably when I was 11 or 12, and oh my gosh, what a BLAST it was!! I also loved King's Quest 1-6. I have the BEST memories from these games!

Yay another One Short Eye vid! Keep it up!

Even though I never played this game, I love how interesting you've made these deep dives

That well drove me insane on my first playthrough of the game. I was just so baffled about what the point of it was and I kept returning to it over and over expecting something to change.

Never played this game, fully watched both videos. I can't even explain why.

Colonel's Bequest is such a cool game

Colonel is by far my favorite Sierra game I've never played, all thanks to your videos.

amazing, this kind of videos are the best. So much things going on on this ancient game, wonder if there are other adventures that could receive the same treatment

i love u what a special treat for this rainy sunday

Awesome, thanks for the time you dedicate to these videos!

I still haven't finished the original video, I stopped watching when you said there would be spoilers ahead because I wanted to actually play the game for myself. I'm definitely glad I did because this game is great, I had so much fun streaming it to friends on Discord. The effort they put in that well is so cool, I have to do a second playthrough sometime. I didn't get 'super sleuth' on my first run but I did manage to discover all of the bodies on my first playthrough, I also found the entrance to the secret cellar but it's too dark to actually enter, so still missing something there I suppose. You likely mentioned it in the other video, but my favourite thing I discovered on my own is that you are able to try to "kiss" everyone in the game, including animals and corpses, and they all have unique reactions from Laura.

Thanks for the video! It's nice to find more hidden details. I remember the main other game I played when I had this on my computer 30 odd years ago - another Sierra game on the same engine called Codename: Iceman. It's a bit more involved and the "watching a play" aspect is gone, but I have fond memories of both of these. I wonder if you'd do a video on that, or some other Sierra games of the time?

This early to a OneShortEye video???? LETS GOOOO

If one of the first things you do in the game is go into the secret passage and spy on the Colonel, you can spy him with Fifi, who is in a state of monochromatic undress. Ooh la la!

I watch the first video and wonder why there are only Laura, colonel and Celie in the end picture. This video clear everything up for me. Damn, that is so psycho serial killer here.

If you enter the library right after rudy and gloria finish talking, Gloria will enter behind you and tell wilbur to "make sure he keeps his mouth shut about her little medical problem."

I think I'm not the only one who has watched the original video several times, (it's very entertaining) and now with a short continuation, I know what to do when I have an hour of free time and something good to eat

Colonel's Bequest? More like Colonel's Becoming obsessive compulsive about every singular clue or detail that's in here (and there's A LOT)

These videos really made me rediscover how much I love point and click games.

BABE WAKE UP NEW ONESHORTEYE UPLOAD

Theres more? Amazing!

the mark of an amazing game is when you can find details you wouldn't think of decades later

OneShortEye videos are awesome.

Recent videos on BeQuest? A surge for new content? A new game perhaps? A remake?

oh I love this

Never change your channel

I love this game and all its little details. Have you played the sequel? I feel it has its own share of wonderful things to discover.

thanks for the video

Wild to think this was released in the 80's. Some new games don't even do this type of stuff.

I remember finding Gloria (strangled with her own boa) in the well vividly. It was an harrowing experience for a young, impressionable boy, even in 4 color CGA. The splashes were less impressive through my PC speaker tho...

I enjoy your videos, please keep making them until we are both old and grey :D

such a detailed game :O

"Look at butt" what is this, a Larry game? Though you don't actually need to type such a thing in a Larry game but in 2 or 3 there might be moments where such a command will get a unique response.

He says he didnt want to keep elaborating on the jank because the video was already 50 minutes long.... Like im not ready to watch a feature length film's worth of videos on these old games!! I watched hercrabiness make her original lets plays years ago, im ready for more!!

Hello, how long until your next Colonel's Bequest video? They are my favorite!

What a fascinating game. I wish I played this in my youth.

The adventure game whisperer has returned to drop more knowledge about a game most of us have never played nor will we likely ever play in in the future. None of that matters because you have gotten us all invested in the world of SCUMM/p&c Adventure game speed running and all the warm nostalgia fuzzy wuzzies that go along with them for us millennials and the intrigue of an "ancient" genre of games for the zoomers.

I'm fascinated by the amount of details and lore packed in the game! Unfortunately Bugs are meant to happen, which is a contortionist's nightmare

Oh yeah, this game. Cool!

I remember this!! 😮

"Get Butt" "Look at butt" Yeh

It's a shame they only released the B-quest game. Can you imagine how good the A-quest could've been?!

I really need to play this game so I can finally watch these videos... 😅

Really wish they would make more games like Colonel's Bequest

I am simple person, I see OneShortEye video, I click OneShortEye video

OK, maybe this is one thing that you all knew but I didn't until yesterday, so I thought I would share it in this video, being 'extra content' , so to speak: In Act I , you can go to where Polly the parrot is, and PET PARROT . If you do, Polly would try to bite Laura! These details are awesome ^^

I suspected that one could find Gloria's body in the well, but could never get it to happen. Otherwise, why put in all of that effort if the well did nothing?

i'd like a factiod video for other games you covered

Never clicked on a video so fast!!

Gadzooks!

I'm somewhat curious about stuff that might have been dummied out. Quest for Glory 1 EGA has some code that actually exists in the script but is never called. Dead code. What kind of dead code (ha ha) does Colonel's Bequest have?

The chance based things we kept missing for years thanks to the lazy crack…

Yay🎉

nice

i fucking love your videos

So has anyone made a fan patch to fix these (and other) bugs / oversights, or are they just observed?

🤯

Super Sleuth outmatched by Super Sluice

This game would benefit from a bugfix fan patch.

Sleuthbox ;)

I posted it in the earlier video, but probably barely anyone saw it, since the video is old, I'll post it here again. I also added in a few things. SPOILERS This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but the ending doesn't sit with me right. I don't think we got the right killer. - an elementary element of writing is the Checkhov's gun. Don't show a gun in act one if you don't plan using it in act 3. Here: used literally. There are also red herrings, misleading clues. Roberta is too much of a good writer to make the killer character too unsympathetic and too obvious as a killer. Which she did with Rudy. Lillian was a twist, I admit. But Rudy? This might be a red herring. Plus the game insisted on suggesting another character is friendly, when we got hints it may not be so. I think Celie isn't as innocent as she is made out to be. - look at the connection between the jewelry in the dog house and the treasure in the crypt. The necklace could be a gift from the colonel, sure. But it may suggest she lost it walking around, killing people. Beauregard is a bloodhound. Did it smell blood on the necklace? You handed an incriminating piece of evidence right back to the culprit. - Celie is aware of you being a detective despite no one telling her you are. She's got sensing powers so she knew you would be trouble. She is hostile to you when you try to ask about her but readily points to others as likely do-no-gooders. - There is a suggestion the house/the spirits used the vices of people to kill each other. Since Lillian loved uncle so much, she would never hurt him. That's why she stopped being useful when only Rudy was left. - Lillian doesn't smoke cigars so the cigar in the secret passage makes no sense. - Likewise no sense makes Lillian dressing up as uncle. Sure she is crazy, but she loved him enough not to point to him as being the killer. - Celie had a motive. If the fortune was divided, and the parasite family would lose their wealth to debts and poor managing, sooner or later the property with her house on it would be lost. She couldn't afford losing her home. - The game outright suggests she is a possible killer by making her one of the owners of the fingerprint in the copyright protection. And then rams the fingerprint motif down your throat throughout the game. - the game suggests Celie hides in her house but she could be very well controlling the killer. This is where the checkhov's gun comes in. Roberta makes use of the voodoo trope (and I think possession?) in many games, but plays it down here. Like there is some mention of evil spirits but it is again played down and blamed on Lilly being crazy. - Notice the detail of hiding the Bible in the chapel? From whom would they hide it? From someone knowing voodoo, of course. - I think the game may be using a meta metaphor here. Celie controls people to get them killed, which is the same the player can do to get Laura killed. - The act of walking around at night aimlessly is strange enough. Can be explained by characters being controlled with voodoo. - The game uses Rudy's bad personality to make us think he is the culprit in the final struggle, but it's too obvious. Notice the colonel's empty, absent, zombie-like eyes in the scene after you kill Rudy to save the colonel. He is being controlled at that point. - it is suggested uncle was just acting his disability. But what if it was Celie's doing? His sudden walking could be attributed to him being a controlled zombie. - if uncle was controlled, it could explain why the bodies disappeared so quickly. Either they gained superhuman strength or there was another person to clean up the mess (hence the cigar in the passage and the cane he didn't need as a zombie). The act of Jeeves knowing exactly what and where to clean up the feathers is suspicious enough. I doubt Jeeves was working with Lillian to cover up her crimes, but it would make sense if Celie knew what to clean up. - I am also perplexed by the walled off basement. Could Lillian know about it? Celie aurely would, knowing she was most probably responsible for laundry. Sure, Lillian knew of the chutes but it may be because Celie told her to use them. - Colonel's walking could also explain the will and the doctor's panic. He might have been continuously poisoning uncle and panicked when uncle just stood up after taking a lethal dose. - why is the game so insistent on you befriending Celie? She knows you are no threat to her as a heir since you are the only one not inheriting money. But she is hostile to your snooping and prying into her matters. - There is a link between eating and being controlled. Eating Celie's cooking was the last thing Rudy did before going bonkers. Lillian was in the kitchen with Celie before the first murder, implying she ate something in the food before going psycho. You, I think, didn't eat after arrival, didn't eat with Lillian, and then refused to eat with Rudy. You also refused drinking with them on various occasions. - it is very sus Rudy revealed his plan of blaming Lillian for the murder of the colonel to the colonel. Why did he even attack without a weapon? Why on the attic? Did he go there to dress up as the colonel? And found the colonel using his old clothes? No, that makes no sense since the clothes were still on dead Lillian. Buuuut... a zombie wouldn't think about that. - the sudden knowledge of the colonel about Laura finding the treasure is sus. Like how did he know? Through some psychic powers? Laura didn't tell him, else he wouldn't mention he had his ways to find out. - Celie calmly rocking in her chair on her porch at night was terribly sus. Why wasn't she no longer afraid of being killed if her share was growing and the risk of her being next increased? - the "I leave everything to Celie" in the ending sounds like something she could be planning all along. Also I think the colonel was back in the chair, suggesting something controlled his bouts of regained agility. - the hidden Bible suggests the family was fleeing from the war, but what if it was not entirely the case? Maybe the slaughter of an entire family happened before? And only Celie survived it for some reason? Colonel would buy the property along with her. - Maybe Celie wasn't praying for safety in the chapel? Maybe she was controlling the killer(s) again? I don't remember if a murder happened at that time. - I am sus about the fact the family tried to institutionalise Lillian before. There was no will back then so why would they do that? Perhaps that was a thing that prevented Celie's plan from coming to fruitition earlier? - If you repeatedly look in the coffee pot in Celie's kitchen, you will notice the kettle is steadily emptied. If there was something to control people in it, it was likely also in there. - The shower kill at the very beginning makes no sense. If it was motivated by "family wanting to tear Lilly and uncle apart" it wouldn't be directed at Laura since she wasn't to that house before and barely knew the colonel. It would make sense if someone was controlled though. Sure, one could argue that it was scripted to happen any time and the fact they let it happen before any murders is an accident, but can we speak about accidents in a game so meticulous it even did mirror reflections or prevented an attic kill after looking at the clothes? - the "we are all going to die after midnight" coming from the only person who survives and even stays out in the open as if knowing the killer won't target her despite her getting richer with every kill, is just a way to move attention away from her. - The attic fight suggests Rudy was controlled and colonel was to die thus preventing the will from happening. Celie would then just hand Rudy to cops, being the only one alive. The change of plan to have him will everything to Celie was a last minute improvisation. If Rudy was so callous and calculating, why didn't he go kill Celie first? (And how did he end up in a locked attic unless someone told him how to get to it?) These are just things from the top of my head. What do you think?

It's not my fault!

B-Quest would be easier to say.

Where is the original Colonel's Bequest video you made? I looked under your videos, and I'm not seeing it. I'd love to check it out! :) EDIT: You have to just search KZfaq for the title along with his name, as for some reason, all his videos aren’t showing up under “videos.”

Who up bequesting rn

can you die in a lot of ways in this game?

So, is this channel done or just taking a break?
