"Look ocean" at the Brown Mountain, which is one of Jess', is one of my absolute favourites. I remember testing the game during development - without checking the parser responses in advance - and I happened to type in that completely innocuous command. I was chuckling for at least the remainder of the day.

I was thinking if someone made a troll game called Collectors Anxiety that is about everything that could go wrong with collectibles. A collectible that is obtained in a very obscure way, a collectible hiding right before a gate that you didn't know was one-way, collectibles in autoscrollers, a puzzle that actually makes the collectible unreachable when solved, a collectible that is seemingly very hard to get but actually impossible until you beat the game, and more.

@vinzo0913 23 дня назад

And of course the one-time random collectible that only appears in 1 cutscene halfway through and if you miss it you can't watch the cutscene again, and have to do a ridiculous side quest to get the cutscene back, which then plays at double speed

this is such a loveletter to sierra, the 80s and dumb humor, I love it (even tho I was born outside of the 80s and redescovering these classics) I also love how the Dev Team discovers some stuff just in the interview with you bc some other dude put it in XD

@spacequesthistorian 22 дня назад

We had a shared spreadsheet for parser commands which everyone on the team could edit. Through some sort of black magic, our programmer Patrick would export that spreadsheet and dump it into the game. But since it was a shared spreadsheet, everyone could just type in whatever they felt like, and Patrick would just dump everything into the game, no questions asked. The only rule we had was that we shouldn't edit or remove other people's contributions. So there is a TON of stuff in that parser that I didn't know was in there until OSE had me look through the spreadsheet for this video.

@spacequesthistorian 22 дня назад

I actually did a video that explains how to go about getting that audio-glitched up version. A common misconception is that you have to play the DOS version with the Windows CD in the drive, but that's not true. There is no Windows CD version of KQ5. You have to play the original CD install with the re-released SierraOriginals CD in the drive. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K6zUt9fO9_s.html
