The legend of Kyrandia

[Arqueologia_Digital]

Discuss about this trilogy, in my opinion, one of the bests in the PC gaming history, i like very much the first one (Brandon Vs. Malcolm)...I spent a lot of hours playing it

I've only played The Hand of Fate... and frankly, I didn't think it was done terribly well... not as well as many other graphic adventure games of the time anyways. There were far too many non-sensical puzzles where you had to just keep trying all your items on all the objects that were in the area that you were currently stuck in until something happened that would never have been obvious. Sadly, far too many adventure games degenerated to that :o

It wasn't the greatest adventure series, I'll have to say, but it was quite a bit of fun to run through. Yes, there were some parts that required a walkthrough (in particular: the boy in Malcolm's Revenge that talks "backwards;" if you only have the speech and not the text showing, you'll never figure him out)...but...

The oddest thing was how the first one tried to be "serious" fantasy, more or less, and how the second and then the third games became increasingly silly and off-the-wall until it was about as "serious" as Grim Fandango or the Neverhood. The last one was silly, but it just had panache - Malcolm was funny, and he could be evil, too. The consciences were great...like when you trip over a log - "hey, that was pretty funny! let's do it to someone else."

I will say this: I finished all three games, which is more than I can say for most of Sierra's later adventure offerings.

There were a bunch of rooms and / or items in the first one, as well, that either had no use or looked like they were part of an unfinished puzzle. Did anyone else get that?

Ah, Westwood used to be a great company...RIP, ye who were ruined by EA.

Yep, I have The Hand of Fate on CD. Not the best of games, but well presented, and with great humor and style.

I just stumbled across a torrent for a complete CD rip of Kyrandia 1 the other day. (Downloaded damn quickly, too.) Now I just need to get around to playing it.

I've got original CDs of one and two. To be honest, I didn't even know there was a third one.

i've only got Kyrandia 3, but i've played 1+2, i really like them, they are superior to all Sierra series imho but not as good as the Lucas Arts games (well, better than The Dig or Full Throttle)

What are you talking about?

"WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD, I'M INVINCIBLE...NO ONE CAN STOP ME - BUT THEY TRY."

That is the stuff :evil:

I played the first game and thought it was a lot of fun. Some of the puzzles did suck. I don't think I ever beat the game.
