Amazon – WON!
Written by TBD. Jason Roberts Journal Entry #5: I’d guessed I needed an arrow to enter the secret door – but for some reason two perfectly obvious arrows that I saw in a treehouse weren’t the ones I needed – I needed one that was hiding behind a bush – […]
Amazon – Treehouse of Horror
Written by TBD. Jason Roberts Journal Entry 4: Determined to get inside a treehouse, Maya and I decide to attempt some acrobatics. Will we find the Swiss Family Robinson inside?

Amazon – The Bridge of Reloading (Request for Assistance)
Jason Roberts Journal Entry #2: I’ve made it to Rio Blanco – it’s taken a bit of effort – getting past one homicidal pilot and more than one deadly piranha. But for some reason I feel I need some cigarettes – and I don’t even smoke! (Boy those things must […]
Amazon – Fight or Flight
Jason Robert Journal Entry 1: My brother is missing so I’ve decided to trick my workmates in order to get what I need to follow him to the jungle. I’ve already deceived Darlene Fitch and Male Guard, and tricked Female Guard by proxy. Now I need to try to deceive […]
Amazon – Deceiving My Workmates

Game 98: Amazon: Guardians of Eden (1992) – Introduction
Written by TBD If not for the title, I wouldn’t be sure if it was a jungle adventure game or a pirate game? Continuing my self-appointed position as official “Access Software” player, despite the previous three Access Software games all being played by different reviewers, I’m playing through a game […]
King’s Quest VI: Final Rating
It’s time to rate the best King’s Quest game, based on most opinions I’ve read. Will I agree? Spoiler alert: Yes, I will. Before I start I’ll quickly mention that I attempted to play the Amiga version for comparison purposes but couldn’t get it working. I did find a comprehensive list […]
King’s Quest VI – WON! Thrice!
Written by TBD When we last left Alexander, he was about to crash a wedding TWICE! But before continuing the game, something has been bothering me about the events that preceded the start of the game. The people of the Land of the Green Isles have told me that the […]
King’s Quest VI – Upstairs Downstairs
Written by TBD. Now that I’ve used both methods to enter the castle, let’s see how I fared in each case. The castle’s puzzles are also different on the two potential paths, so let’s split them up and see where we end up. Let’s start with the Land of the […]
King’s Quest VI – Knight of the Leaving Dead
Written by TBD When we left off last time, Alexander had just entered the castle using Beauty’s serving maid clothes and had gotten himself captured by attempting to enter the most obvious door. Now, I played on for a little while and became stuck due to a dead-end that required […]
King’s Quest VI – The Cliffs of RTFM
Written by TBD When we last left Alexander, he had just visited the edge of Chessboard Land, and was hanging out in the garden of pun-named flowers, being hugged to death by the clinging vines. Reloading after being smothered by the clinging vines, I tried something I didn’t try earlier […]
King’s Quest VI – Isle of Punder
Written by TBD When we last left Alexander, I had just found a ring I hadn’t noticed earlier. In the comments of that post, I was informed that the ring was mentioned either in the manual or a ‘help’ section of the game itself. It wasn’t in the manual, but […]
King’s Quest VI: The Cashless Society
Written by TBD. When we last left Alexander, he’d slept through the opening credits and awakened on a beach in what we assume is the Land of the Green Isles. Following my usual M.O., I start by clicking on things with my ‘eye’ icon. I notice that if I look […]
Game 98: King’s Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow (1992) – Introduction
Written by TBD Who will win – the giant minotaur with the spiked bracers… or the dude wearing a scarf? It’s time for King’s Quest VI. I played through 1990’s King’s Quest V a little over three years ago (we’re a bit slow around here) and my most lasting memories […]
