This is so awesome. Over a decade ago I Let's Played this horror game with a friend on our joint channel. She had the German version which made it even worse since the translation was beyond any grammar rules and completely lacking any sense of language. Yet, we managed to accomplish the second best ending and were quite satisfied with that. Thanks for all the insights, for nearly two hours of exquisite entertainment, and congrats to all your friends who are terrific voice actors. ♥♥♥

Reminds me of the summer I found kings quest in a pile of junk at my cousins house .. oh man .. the 90s

The King's Quest III remake by AGD Interactive makes this game much easier to run.

One of my favourite parts of a speedrun history is when the community learns about a game’s sequence breaks, and how the run loses minutes as a result. The FM Towns bit is genuinely really interesting.

"So what tricks should I know to speedrun this game?" "B"

Isn't there a better shortcut than f3 to bring up the last thing you typed or am I thinking of a later KQ game

This game was ahead of its time, settings for less mobile people, representation, choices with consequences, it had it all

One of the greatest videos ever made in KZfaq. Never played the game btw. I wish we could have retrospectives of this quality of any 90's game.

GJ

I never knew about this game but the look and feels of the game is amazing. I could only imagine how happy I would be if I played this when I was a kid, this looks exactly like those type of game I enjoyed.

30:09 love the voice acting in general and this bit especially xD

does anyone ever run the AGD Interactive remakes of the games? (1-3)

Wow you look so much like herbert west!!!

I'll never be this vaccinated. I'll have to just settle for getting sex and money like a loser.

Of to GOG to purchase a certain game!

So cool seeing a female speedrunner kicking ass

Eustace was a menace for that farting power 😅

i hate that most players don't get the marriage ending, but it's very historically accurate

Can't believe I missed this video!

33:07 the way my eye brows went up

Lol who made this?!

Razzle dazzle root beer and teleport to the end room and boom

So many osha violations. No railings anywhere.

What an unbelievable game! Snuff it Todd Howard!

I speedrun this game as well so that's cool.

27:59 wow the news had no idea who this is! 28:46 omg SQ3 got this building absolutely perfect!

11:04 Thank you stranger, here, have a shoe! uhhhh thanks I guess? lol

This is a fantastic video! I also have been way into this game for thirty years and only in the last couple had the chance to play it again via GOG and SCUMMVM. We bought it on 5.25” floppies back in the 1990s (only version Waldensoftware had in stock) and when they wore out a couple years later, Sierra had already discontinued the game and could not replace our disks. But I’ve been telling my wife and daughter for years how crazy branchy this game is for its time. It’s a real gem! Thanks for this exhaustive discussion!

Woah, Robin speedran his own game???

Where do you get a minifridge that is entirely drawers?

I remember playing this one whe i was 8 or so. I couldn't figure out the archery training thing, so i wandered the entire map looking for something else to do. There isn't anything, but you can go down to the pub in town and get busted by the guards, which keads to a funny game over dialogue. Unfortunately, thats where i gave up and stopped playing.

Imagine playing the game for the first time in 1989, everything being super serious murder-mysterious and suddenly 30:56 😂

damn this game is cool AF

This feels SO validating! I was crushed i couldnt figure out how to beat the CD version on my brand new computer 🤦‍♀️im glad i never called the 1900 hint line at $1 / minute!

I'll be using that hand code

Such a cool video. I'd love to see a new one about all the stuff that's been discovered in the years since... considering the record is now 10:24, which is three minutes shorter than it is at the end of the video. In any case, very cool video, very well done, super interesting stuff!

I miss Sierra, Space Quest series, Kings Quest, those we the days

The voice of Cedric in the Fanproject gives me mean Saladfingers vibes * shudder*

36:55 mom came in the room and I got in trouble :(

I love this game! I would like to add something you missed though. 36:36 the soldier and the woman in the back are procreating.

I played this as a kid when it was released and it was pretty fun to explore but incredibly difficult. Still my favorite in the series. They managed to make the world seem epic. I never beat the game until I found a walkthrough. Which was printed out on a dot matrix printer of course back then.

Great work on this video. Fascinating! Really fun to think of people engaging with the game in this way!

I love KQ3. It was my favourite!

Was not prepared for Connors 8ft vertical.

Ohh no. Not Space Quest 4. I'm here for it.

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.

What does the L key do?

I would say the person who died from putting his head into a particle accelerator stream counts as a laser, just not one in the visible range. And thus, a deadly invisible laser, like in the game.

What a great video, and a fascinating game! Good job 😊
