General Gaming / The Silver Lining, the unofficial, but legal King's Quest sequel
« on: July 10, 2010, 04:43:54 PM »
I don't know if anyone else on these boards still plays point and click adventure games, but since I didn't see a thread for it, I thought that I would point out that The Silver Lining is available for download starting today. I've always loved the old adventure game genre, and Sierra On-Line was responsible for my two favorite series: King's Quest and Quest for Glory. This is a no-brainer download for me.
The history behind this game is unusual and fantastic. It's a fan-made project that survived development hell early on (as most fan projects do), as well as two C&D orders from the two different companies (Vivendi and Activision) who owned the IP at different times; both times it was saved by fan support and by the patient professionalism of the game's staff. They recently got the blessing from Activision to release the game, and it's available for free starting today!
Here's a trailer in case you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzDN6d03O3U&feature=player_embedded
The game's download is available here (though it appears to be currently down, as I could have probably guessed): http://www.tsl-game.com/
