merylvdm Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Years ago I played all the Kings Quests with my older kids (who are now in college). My oldest daughter discovered recently that there has been a remake of these games so they will play on today's computers (Mac and PC). If you played them - you will know how awesome they are. If you haven't, well, they teach critical thinking skills as you are in a fairy tale world and have to complete different quests. You move around the world and pick up items which have to be used elsewhere. The games all draw heavily on fairy tales which makes them extra fun. I loved playing them with my kids- we would crowd round the computer and brainstorm what to do. Now I am playing them again with my oldest who is on the other side of the country and we brainstorm via text messages.

HejKatt Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 OMG. I was obsessed with these as a kid. OB-sessed. Same here! :) I also found this site which has Monkey Island and Quest for Glory, with prices but I think they are reasonable. These aren't remade for current systems, but they come with instructions to run in emulation mode: http://www.gog.com/games/adventure##sort=bestselling&page=1 And for another fun time-drain, try the Incredible Machine series - I spent waaaay too much time on these: http://www.gog.com/game/the_incredible_machine_mega_pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
