King's Quest Fan Project The Silver Lining Is Back
LoTonah writes "After eight years of development and a Cease & Desist from Vivendi, King's Quest fan project The Silver Lining is back in action. From the website: 'We are extremely happy to announce that our project, The Silver Lining, will definitely see the light of day! In a wonderful turn of events, Activision reached out to the Phoenix Online team a few months ago with a desire to revisit their decision regarding The Silver Lining. After negotiations, the C&D has been officially rescinded, and Phoenix Online has been granted a non-commercial license to release The Silver Lining! Our team is ecstatic about this, and as hard as we've worked for eight years, it's the tireless belief and support of you, our fans, that has made this possible.' The first episode of the project is due to be released on July 10."
Try getting a good adventure game like the old Lucasarts point-and-click adventures.
As you or others may not be aware, Tales of Monkey Island is thoroughly enjoyable. Telltale Games is doing a good job on this "long-dead" game formula with other games like the Sam & Max franchise as well.
If I remember right, It wasn't Vivendi that had a problem with the fan remakes/sequels, it was Activision after the Vivendi (merger? purchase?). It's still nice to see Activision (finally) honoring agreements made before the acquisition, though.
