Also, I have questions.

So a fun fact about the Cliffs of Logic, depending on I think what version of the game you get and how fast your computer is, the game will cause Alexander to wobble on every. single. solitary. step, which was demonstrated inadvertently in the old Steam Train playthrough of the game by Ross and Danny of the Game Grumps, starting at about 5 minutes in this video (doesn’t cover anything that hasn’t been seen in the thread yet!) https://youtu.be/7qvuK245IYk

Whoa, wait a minute! :v:

The funny thing is that King's Quest VI was well into the CD era, when copy protection started to go out of style again, because there were no practical CD copying devices for consumers.

Heh. I remember being on Mac OS 9 and being able to use Disk Utility to turn CD-Roms into a .dmg file. Then you could just use the .dmg file in place of the original disc...

Yes, six years or so after this game came out, that kind of technology existed. Technology is funny in that people keep making more of it. That's why copy protection started to make a return, this time using the Internet and online registration of CD keys. Then came the DVD era, and another round of well, maybe we can get by without copy protection, because these discs are not copyable, then the DVD burners came, and we got on-disc DRM. But I think Sierra was entirely gone by then.

Sorry. I didn't mean that to sound like a counterargument or gotcha. I was just fondly reminiscing.

Ashens had a talk about game piracy in the 80's, and he capped it off by showing some types of present copy protection.

The copy protection talk starts at 29:32 but the whole thing is worth a watch.

You wouldn't download a car... :v:

Will there be a sidebar to talk about the short ending somewhere?

Seconding this.

For general appearance, I've always had a soft spot for the one from the ME3 cover:



I do like that look. The red hair complements the fierce expression.
