I assume "Kong's Quest" is a typo, but I really, really want it not to be.

@suetanvil @vampiress My phone's spell check is often terribly wrong, but funny and apparently doesn't respect the concept of monarchy so I consider it a feature.

@buddhawilliams Haha all good. I always try to but it's SO easy in most clients to not realise they're there!

@vampiress This is why the Earthbound "Runaway 5" had this sense of "this has been done a few times" for me

@vampiress
I can hear the music being played at some of those bars just by looking at the pictures

Such great memories

@vampiress I remember when the Quest for Glory graphics were so impressive.

@vampiress

Fond memories of the bar from Space Quest I (I seem to recall ZZ Top playing in there as well), but deep down I'm probably more of a Scumm Bar kinda person... 😉
