Review: King’s Quest III Redux
This past week I got an interesting email from AGDInteractive saying that they had a King’s Quest III Redux available for download! I must have been out of the loop for awhile as I had no idea they were developing this piece of art.
I do remember playing Infamous Adventurer’s VGA version of King’s Quest III which was excellent. Here’s my original post about that from 2006. I have to admit that after playing AGDI’s version over the weekend, it is also a worthy remake. I have to admit that I do enjoy the extra plot lines that AGDI put into the game.
King’s Quest III…what can I say that hasn’t been said before. I logged A LOT of time into this game. I could never figure out where the wizard’s wand was in the original version. It wasn’t until years later that I must have stumbled upon a hint book.
So the new version by AGDI is pretty freaking sweet. Voice acting galore, memories aswirl, and some new elements included kept me quite interested all weekend long. I really have to hand it to these guys…the visuals were stunning and I felt like I was playing an entirely new game at some points. That’s what I dig about the AGDI remakes…they add a few new things to keep me interested, instead of being a step-by-step remake.
My only complaint was that I got to a point where I needed the eagle feather and when I found out how to get it, I realized I needed to restore to a point in the game where I haven’t already given the ONE item that is needed to get the eagle feather (unless there are multiple items that I can use and I just didn’t realize). But you know what?
I really enjoyed the new pirate island adventure as I always found that part of the original KQ3 to be strange. I also liked the extended outro sequence after the dragon is gone. But for the life of me, I had forgotten about the expanded story in KQ2+. I’ll have to go play this again soon!
I also want to point out that it’s quite amazing to see the AGDI adventure games now available on the Mac! I had installed Windows on my Mac awhile ago to play Quest For Glory 2 but I had some problems so I never ended up finishing it. Lo and behold, they have released all their games for the Mac! Hurrah!
That’s that. Download this free game today at http://www.agdinteractive.com/

VBall to the Eye!
Last night I went to the Royal Oak with Amanda and Mike for some grub before the volleyball game. I must admit that the caesar salad at the Oak was one of the best I’ve ever had! And for a small salad, they give you a lot!
After a few beer to limber us up for the game, we headed over to the gym and met up with Marley and Casey. It was only five of us on the court as Vero had gone home sick with something.
We got obliterated in the first game and didn’t do too bad in the final two games. Actually, I think our game improved as the effects of the beer went away!
Unfortunately, I was right behind Amanda when she bumped a ball backwards and it landed square in my eye! I’m pretty sure my eye was open at the time as I was quite dazed and was seeing spots. I was seeing stars for a few minutes after and a black spot on the top of my eye for the remainder of the game. I went back to Mike’s place to put some ice on it and went home and iced it again.
This morning it isn’t TOO bad but there’s something off with my vision…I can see fine but once in awhile I still see a black spot in the top of my eye. I will wait the weekend to see if it changes, otherwise I’ll head to the optometrist on Monday.
Volleyball is always fun, but a ball to the eye is not!
