Thank you for the links, it is very kind of you. I will have to check these games. Though Kings Quest 7 was always my favorite. Among the high points of that game where the writing on the tombstones, like this one.

The sorrowful Rosemary Pratt,
Liked to wail by the cliffs with her cat,
One day such a pity,
She tripped on her kitty,
And fell of the cliffs with a splat.

I am a Transhumanist and an immortalist, I do not wish to or plan on dying, but if I ever did I would want to tombstone like that. :P

Oh I played kings quest 7 a while ago I had forgotten about those tombstones they were indeed great. It looks like that company are working on the whole series so it will be interesting to see how they do part 7 if they get that far. If you are a transhumanist then shamanism is a MUST read. I can't remember the titles of books I've read or their authors as believe it or not I got them borrowed from public libraries. but if I do I'll let you know.

I do read quite a bit about shamanism, while it is not my favorite occult topic it is still very interesting and it is very instructive when it comes to many other fields of knowledge.

A new Kings Quest 7 game would be awesome. It is an amazing game with a great story. Though that music puzzle with the harp thing always annoyed me.

[Fearonsarms]

Fair enough-I think shamanism just really appeals to me a lot at this moment in time.

Back to topic I can't remember the harp thing but you never know they may make it less annoying in a remake. Hoping to get my apple mac hooked up online soon so I'll be getting games for that then. My PC is sadly not very good for playing games on.

[BookZombie]

I fist played King's Quest 7 on my first computer a Olivetti (which seamed to have a mind of it's own) I think that yes in a remake a sound based puzzle might be less annoying as modern sound cards actually display sounds right. Off course I could have my hubby set up some things on my computer so I can run my old games on it. I have several others I want to play again to, like Dungeon Keeper and BloodNet.

Just picked up a few SNES games, NES games, N64... and Deathsmiles Limited Edition for the 360.

[BookZombie]

I have not heard about Deathsmiles what is it about?

[Straker]

Recently got a bunch of XBL points. Got a few of the Borderlands expansions which are pretty good fun to run through and also the two Left for Dead 2 expansions which were less impressive but still worth it if you're a fan. :cool:

[Despare]

I have not heard about Deathsmiles what is it about?

It's a SHMUP, one of the few that got localized for the 360 and wasn't an XBLA game I think.
