King's Quest Fan Project is Alive Again, for FREE
The return of the king.
Back in March, we were sad to learn that a fan-based non-profit King's Quest project had been extinguished by Activision, the new owners of the IP.
After a public outcry, Activision decided to revisit its original decision, and now we'll soon be granted a new King's Quest. The Silver Lining development team wrote in its blog:
In a wonderful turn of events, Activision reached out to the Phoenix Online team a few months ago with a desire to revisit their decision regarding The Silver Lining. After negotiations, the C&D has been officially rescinded, and Phoenix Online has been granted a non-commercial license to release The Silver Lining!
This means that fans will be able to download the next (fan fiction) chapter of King's Quest for FREE on July 10 – and that's just the first episode!
Check out some of the screenshots, artwork and trailer below.





But they were jerks, only public outcry convinced them to do a 180. The 180 was done to save face, not because Activision has good guys in charge who care about your gaming. That is unless they can profit from it.
Damn you, now I have to go and play Chrono trigger again. I still own an SNES specifically for that game. I also have an emulator so I can play on my laptop.
What? it's FREE, you can't complain about something that's free, I mean you don't have to play it but disparaging it for the graphics is crazy. It's FREE!
Anyway, the game looks fine.
