I noticed that the 3 parts of the game are called "books" - why didn't they call them "volumes"? (clem 15:22, 20 May 2005 (UTC))

Maybe to give it a more "fairy tale" feeling? Volume sounds too modern... Purple Rose 05:36, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of Kyrandia

This is crazy. There's no mention of the original Kyrandia, a door game for MajorBBS! At least the beginning part of the graphical adventure was taken step for step from this old game. The Major BBS article mentions "Kyrandia 1989 by Scott Brinker and Richard Skurnick". I for one would be interested in hearing how it made the transition and what precisely is the relationship between these two titles. 71.202.20.91 07:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Different arrangement

If no one is against it, I'll divide the article up in a different manner soon. I would like this to look a bit like the Space Quest article, except with more details. If it's OK with everyone, I'll create a section for each individual game, with subsections for plot, interface, puzzles, gameplay, characters, etc. Since I am a fan of the trilogy, I want this article to be as expansive and informative as possible.

Sure, go right ahead. In general, if an article is not yet a featured article you should feel free to make any edit you like. If other users don't like what you've done it will be raised on the talk page. If the information you add for each game is very extensive, you might consider creating a seperate article for each one, which could then be linked to from the article using {{main|Game Name}}. You might consider using the infobox from the Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games for the games (it's at the bottom of the page). Jacoplane 20:51, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshots

I am now working on expanding this article and hope to add some new info soon. Meanwhile, I have a question. How many screenshots of each individual game am I allowed to upload and include in the article? Can I create a gallery, similar to what I did in the Mixed-Up Mother Goose article? Thanks in advance.

[edit] The Real Killer?

Wow, this just reminded me of one of the best adventure games I played back in the day. Good times, good times. Anyway, this is not really related to the article, but does anyone know if the games ever tell you who the "real" killer was? I beat the 3rd game, and while the ending didn't show you anything other than that Malcolm was innnocent, some of the stuff that happened in the final chapter seemed to point the finger at either Kallak or Herman, or both of them together. Nothing conclusion, but pretty strong hints all the same.
