Remember the early Kings Quest series of adventure games?
KQ1 has been remade for VGA graphics by a group called Tierra Entertainment.
They are doing a terrific job of rebuilding the games. Same great gameplay.
The remade version is a free download and works fine in Windows.

If you want adult games the japanese have been doing them
for years. Some now you can get even in ENGLISH in AMERICA. :)
The only reason they can release King Quest is because
they are writing the game from scratch, doing their
own art work and game codeing. While it would be nice
to have the old DOS games revised, the copywrites are
still in effect even if the company making them are long gone.
The best thing to is keep the old games on new media
archived for now, and the old machines running.
Also a gray area is game engines for the newer machines
to run old Serria games like king quest if you have
orginal game data, for example :

... Leisure Suit Larry 1, too. For that matter they also remade LSL6 in
SVGA-mode with full speech.

Hey! I still have LSL1 1.0 - 5.25" original disks, not a copy (fished it
out of a pile of debris left by a departing college student a number of
years ago)
It's... um... a *classic*!

The opening screen:
I'M IN A SLEAZY BAR. BEHIND THE BAR SITS
A BARTENDER. A SIGN HANGING OVER HIM
SAYS 'BEER-$100 WHISKEY-$100'
THE PLACE ISN'T FURNISHED TOO WELL. A
CURTAIN HANGS ON ONE WALL.
NEXT TO THE CURTAIN IS A BUTTON.
A FAN WHIRLS SLOWLY OVERHEAD- MOVING THE
STAGNANT AIR AROUND.
It's quite amusing to play.

There's also apparently a port to Inform, but I've never looked
at it.
