LeHah said:No offense to ol George Oldziey but parts of KS felt very slap-dash, especially the music. While performed on an updated sound pallette, it didn't really bring anything new to the game.
LeHah said:Not to mention - its almost a bad thing updating the music. Everyone remembers the MIDI music from TIE Fighter - but Lucasarts stuck the original John Williams music into the Win9x CD-ROMS. This is a similar affair.

Dyret said:BTW, is the tune that plays during the "base attack cutscenes"(In the intro and when Zaarin attacks the TA factories) a TF exclusive track? I cant remember ever having heard it in anything else Star Wars related.
Worf said:I saw the LSL box today on the shelf. It definitely appears that LSL7 is absent (LSL7: Love for Sail).
Probably because LSL1, 2, 3, 5, 6 were DOS based, while LSL7 did run on Windows. Probably not WinXP, but Win9x, and they can't get it to run on XP successfully. Looking through this thread carefully and seeing what a rip it is otherwise, I'm not surprised.

Hey i got my collections, and i noticed the SQ collection didnt have SQ1 EGA, but i found out how to put it on, if you have the SQ1EGA from previous collections then you can add it to the launcher. put the SQ1ega folder in the new collection folder like the rest of them, then open the SierraLauncher.ini then change NumButtons=7. type
Game1Name=Space Quest 1 - EGA (w/e you want it called on the launcher)
Game1Prog=dosbox
Game1Path=(name of folder for SQ1ega)
Game1Exe=sierra
Game1Cmd=
if you want it at the end of the list change all the 1's to 7 or if you want it infront of the VGA (like mine) then set it at 1.
i tried to add KQ1ega to the collection but since it only holds up to 7 slots, i never got it to work, unless you delete one of the others

LeHah said:Yup, that was part of the original MIDI score. Strange that LA would put orchestral music for the in-flight, but leave the MIDI music for the cutscenes, menus, etc
AD said:This line of reasoning is just stupid though. Who's to say VU even has the source to go back to? And for twenty bucks?
hurleybird said:Please try not to imply that I'm stupid, I take offence to that. If you had taken 5 secounds to search 'leisure suit larry 7 winddows xp' in Google you would have found that other people have found ways to get LL7 to run in XP. It was lazy of Vivendi not include the game.
AD said:Who was talking about LL7? I wasn't. There may be more issues involved there than you are aware of. And I never implied you were stupid. If it was misconstrued then I appologize.
Even the *fans* can get LL7 to run under XP
Death said:Funny how these things always get boiled down to, on internet forums, "eeeeeevil corporations", as if they were operating in a vacuum and didn't have any other concerns that needed addressing.
Or not so funny. Generic "corporations are eeeeeevil" internetting is rather stale, and definitely not appreciated on this particular board, to the point of people being banned for it.
And, yes, that's an administrative hint.
Bandit LOAF said:While I agree that the lack of LL7 is horrible, I think this statement is wrong -- there's no "even" when the fans are the people who've been playing the game for twenty years and the company releasing the compilation includes no one who worked on the original series.
Death said:Sure, they can copy it, only to have to face a lawsuit down the road, on software that was not released under a license that would allow others to use it without charge, like for example the GPL. Or did you miss, on that page to which you provided a link, "This software is provided free for non-commercial use."?
(emphasis mine)
As I said, "other concerns that need addressing".
