Space Quest II remade, released for free
Perhaps "remade" isn't the best word to describe what the team at Infamous Adventures has done to Sierra's 1987 classic Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge. "Lovingly rebuilt," perhaps, or "delicately hand-milled," if such a term can be considered applicable in a programming sense. (We've decided it can.) Infamous Adventures' reproduction features "hand-drawn backgrounds, hand animated characters, a full voice pack featuring over 4,000 recorded lines and a whole lot of extras," according to the group's official website. We don't know what's more touching, the fact that a small group of people completely rejiggered a classic out of love for the original, or that the fruits of their labor can be downloaded for free. Watch those system requirements, though, as the PC version requires a whole meg of RAM.
King's Quest III pimped out & re-released
Infamous Adventures recently released its remake of Roberta William's 1986 classic point-n-click adventure, King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human. The remake features "all new full VGA backgrounds, enhanced hand-drawn close up cut-scenes, dialog portraits for all the characters, original music by our professional composer, full speech pack (including narrator), and a new point-and-click interface."Infamous Adventures believes that King's Quest III is still relevant and has developed the remake to ensure that this timeless adventure will be compatible with modern hardware. No profits will be made. The game (43.2 MB) is available to download free of charge.
