First thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. Fuck I'm getting old.

Ideally, this would be:

1)Quest for Glory reboot using something like the Assassins Creed engine
2)Kings Quest reboot using the Skyrim engine
3)Police Quest reboot using the LA Noire engine

I would be thrilled with any 1 of those.

Or maybe a new Space Quest?

Excited to see what this is regardless. I grew up on Sierra games in the 80s, mostly because that was about the only game publisher whose games would consistently be compatible with my shitty Tandy 1000 computer from Radio Shack.

Unfortunately, that is probably closer to the truth. What are Ken and Roberta Williams up to nowadays? Are they even involved with this project?

I can't help but be excited at any of those prospects. Although I'm sure disapointment will only come the thought of them doing a solid reboot of those franchises gives me a semi.

New kings quest where you have to type everything you want your character to do, or bust.

That IP is owned by a fan of the game, and its under Norseman games. That guy doesnt know what to do with the IP, cause he should have tried a cash shop + free a long time ago.

According to the Kings Quest Wikipedia entry Roberta Williams was approached when Telltale games was going to make a Kings Quest game but she refused saying she was retired from game making. They've been outta game making since 1998 or so it seems.

I remember beating Kings Quest 2 by myself as a kid on a neighbors computer. Years later I played the KQ where you start off kidnapped by the wizard. I vaguely remember it was a *really* odd game, poorly designed too. If you didn't do something simple in the beginning, or you pet the cat wrong, you'd lose 10 hours later. That and they tried to fight people pirating the game by making you type in whole paragraphs from the manual. Fun! =\

Didn't Sierra games also have keywords used to actually unlock the game? Like open the manual turn to page 43, 4th sentence, 2nd word?

Quest for Glory is the most reboot-able franchise by far. RPG + Action Elements, something like skyrim where how well you fight and solve "the story" depends on your skills.

Pretty sure XCOM had that too. I know Star Control 2 would have you enter the star system at the coordinate it gave you.
