Asking the seller for specific files certainly is the way to go. And hope he has a drive handy to check that, which is not that common anymore, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, they don't have a CD drive.

The CD version of EcoQuest, labeled with the Multimedia PC branding , is a talkie version. It's about 318MB, with the RESOURCE.AUD file accounting for 305MB. I found an MPC version for sale. The background is see-through instead of blue, but otherwise looks like the one you linked: https://ibb.co/v...

I only have a loose CD, and I haven't played it much. But it says "Sierra Originals" on the back, there's almost 300 MB of files on the disc, and what I've seen of it appears to be fully voiced. TrivialBalderdash is saying that the Talkie version has a RESOURCE.AUD file that is 305MB and ...

A remake of LSL1 with voice came out in 2013: https://www.gog.com/en/game/leisure_suit_larry_reloaded Yeah, I know this version exists. But I prefer the graphics of the original remake from 1992. Do you know if they did the same thing Lucas did with the first two Monkey Island games? They remastere...

Hi, all. I want to buy a copy of EcoQuest, the Search for Cetus from eBay. This would be a Sierra Originals edition. Is it talkie? Are all CD versions of EcoQuest talkie? The seller doesn't know. I know there exists a talkie version of EcoQuest , but I'm asking because there are CD versions (usually...

The copy protection, the Roman numerals speech, and the grail diary all depend on a SCUMM command that sets a bit in a variable. It sounds like the copy protection was removed by disabling this command in the interpreter and not by modifying the copy protection script. The game works in ScummVM bec...

I tried the game on an actual MS-DOS computer and it has the same bug. This version of the game is messed-up, but ScummVM fixes the bug. It'd be interesting to know if ScummVM developers did this intentionally (and why would they fix a bug on a pirated version) or if it's an unintentional fix that i...

Dosbox goes full screen only on the laptop screen, not the external monitor.Thanks for your response.

I'm using Ubuntu on a laptop and I have a secondary external monitor configured as an extension (not a mirror of the laptop). I used to play scummVM games on my laptop screen before I bought the monitor without fullscreen mode because it was big enough. The laptop's screen is 1366x768, but my new mo...

It's all about the timing. Yes, King's Quest 5 and Space Quest 4 had talkies, but they were both released just in 92. LSL1 Remake and LSL5 were also both released in 91 as the other two. But if I remember correctly, were the sales of LSL1 Remake very bad and LSL5 had unfavorable reception. So under...

If that's true, then the 3.5" version and the 5.25" version of the game are not identical.

I have asked a friend of me and he had actually the 1.0 version, couldn't get into the same situation like you described, even when I got to Venice without the grail diary. Did he try on scummVM or on dosbox? ScummVM and IJ3 v1.0 work fine for me. It's when I try it on dosbox that I have the error ...

That's unfortunate.

Hi, all. Are there any talkie versions of LSL1 and LSL5? I think they made a remastered version of LSL1, but I'm talking about the VGA versions from the 90s (and to be more specific, the LSL1 version that has graphics similar to LSL5, not the very first version of LSL1). I know there's a talkie vers...
