King's Quest III Remake Released 121
Beetle B. writes "Not being content with remaking Sierra's King's Quest I, King's Quest II and Quest for Glory II, the Anonymous Game Developers Interactive have released a remake of King's Quest III. Sure, the graphics may not appeal to the young'uns out there, but it's the gameplay that matters, right? Last year, after several legal battles, another game in the King's Quest series made by fans was released (with more episodes to come). And did I mention that they're all free? What other remakes of old adventure games are floating around out there?"

Blah, blah, blah. Throughout history, most works of fiction have been derivative crap, a few have been original and fewer still have been really good. Hell, pretty much all the best works of fiction are derivative works: Shakespeare's dramas hardly contain a single original storyline. Computer games certainly weren't any better in the 80s than they are now, you just tend to forget the more forgettable ones. Some of the better ones (Giana Sisters) were pure rip-offs.
