me too. true VGA pixel art was amazing. It was the apex. SVGA and scanned or 3drendered images were already popular and killed pixel art off. Malcolm's Revenge was already mostly 3d rendered and step backwards.
I swear to God. First it's a crazy Jester, then the place just up and says fuck it, I'm out. kyrandia - coolest place to adventure, worst place to live
You don't have to get all three gold teeth from the pirate. If you play the octopus's shell game, you can win two gold teeth. It is easier and takes less time. Just put the lucky horseshoe on the ground near the middle shell before you choose it.
14:00 : You also could drink the potion. Then your hair would have temporary transformed onto snakes (just like Medusa), and got the exact same effect on the rat.
Back to 1995, I had 12 Mhz 286, 40MB MFM HDD 1,1mb RAM, and math co-processor (it was great advantage) This was most favorite game those times (including Larry, Dune amd Wolfenstein).
Wow. The legend of Kyrandia series was my favorite of all point and click adventures (my favorite games period in fact). And to think, most people don't even have it in their top 50 point and click lists. I just don't get it. The memories this evokes gives me chills. This series was my childhood.
thankyou so much for doing this. Just to listen to the music, and then follow you all the way to the end really really closed a chapter for me (and I still hum the music)
+SuchyKT Ya this is one of the many adventure games of my childhood too. I really miss these kind of games even the VGA graphics. I think i was 10 or 11 when this came out and back then the internet was so new it didn't have any websites for game walkthroughs so it took months to solve the entire game or you could call this 1900 number that charged a dollar an hour and I remember my parents so pissed off at me when the phone bill came in the mail and showed a $58 charge to the hint line I called and I remember they talked so slow on the phone when providing a hint. the space quest series were also one of my favorites.
Thanks for great job! So much memories arisen!!!!!! I want go back in my childhood and play again these games, experience all this great feelings!!!!! ;)
The best of Kyrandia's series. Fantastic pixel art too, much better than Malcolm's Revenge 3d rendered images. Most of VGA 3d rendered or scanned art looked like shat compared of true pixel art. Artists really put effort into it.
I used to try to play this game when I was younger. I think around 98-2000 or so. I could never figure it out. Granted I was like 5-7 haha. I have fond memories regardless and I still have the disc. Just wish I could play it!

From the 3 games in the series, the ONE is the best for me. Kyrandia 2 and Kyrandia 3 are good games, but there is too much parody for my taste. Kyrandia 1 was a much serious game, which I liked a lot.
I absolutely love the Legend of Kyrandia series (the first being my favorite - I found Brandon's dialogue throughout the game to be so great!), although I feel like Legend of Kyrandia 2 was better designed (no mazes! Less random!) but Legend of Kyrandia 3... and the Cat Island is... a nightmare! I recently finished all three (long play and commentary) on my channel.
Very easy to download this, with voice acting - download ''Legend of Kyrandia Complete Trilogy (Full CD version)'' from the pirate bay - Unzip the file -Mount Legend of Kyrandia HOF (with programs like MagicDisc) -Copy&Paste all the files from the disc, to your own computer -Download Scummvm (just google it) -Open Hand of Fate with Scummvm ( you can look at their website how it works) -Play
you did the gold coin task in morning mist a bit of a round-a-bout way, if you get one gold coin and gamble with a horse shoe on the floor (one facing up - a 'lucky horse shoe') you win everytime :o)
Not even sure if you are still active. But here's a hint that'd speed up your time by a little bit. If you take a lucky horseshoe (a horseshoe that is pointed upward), you can drop it outside of the bar with the octopus and you'll win every time. So you only need to make the coin once, then beat the octopus twice to get your three coins.
Wait, so did she and the Abominable Snowman bone? That was the implication I got. Just sorta surprised me given the cartoony family friendly vibe of the rest of it.

It's the classic Tower of Hanoi puzzle, modified so you can only move the largest piece of the tower instead of the smallest. Wikipedia has an exhaustive article on it, but in short: - You can only move one piece at a time. - You can only move the largest piece of a tower. - You cannot put a smaller piece on top of a larger piece. The goal is to move the whole tower from one hole to the other.
I was wondering that too.I have never played this game but what I inferred is it looks like you can't pick up the teeth without using the magnet else wise you probably get dialogue from the guy saying not to get near him .
If you tried to pick up the gold tooth, the pirate would notice, saying that's his tooth and he would take it back. If you turned it to lead, then he didn't mind.
Perhaps you're using floppy version. It has no voice. You can check it in game menu. If the name is CD Rom in the title, then you'll need to put digital samples in Kyrandia's SETUP app. If it's a floppy, you'll need to download CD one
I TO THIS DAY Say on a daily basis, "Sorry! We don't take bribes!" from the 2 dum dums on top of the wall when you try to give them a sandwich! I have my 2 girls saying it too!!! CAN YOU RECORD THAT PART!!!!! PLEASE!!!! I need to hear the actual audio and I want to show my girls so they don't think I'm THAT crazy!!! THANKS!
why is the intro 10000x better more polished looking in this one than in the third installment? the third game just looks like shit compared to this one, very disappointed actually (and its waay more boring).
i agree, i remember playin this as a kid on dos. enjoyed the first one, then loved the 2nd one especially the ending but then they dropped the ball on the third. Malcom comin back i thought was gonna awesome but I didn't enjoy it that much playing as him. Woulda much rathered the 3rd one being another adventure vs the guy.
It was neat how they added the plot twist about Malcom but that was about it. I was actually hoping they'd go back to playing as Brandon after the second. He became king and then you never got to see him do anything
3rd one was an attempt at being original, which the 2 first parts were not, let us agree. The option to be serious, joke or sarcastic dialogue, the pseudo 3d, the abstract landscapes etc. All very mid 1990s, while the first two parts essentialy were early 90s games, very comparable to kings quest 4 etc
This game is a bit overrated. It's puzzles are mostly mixing ingridients and hidden object game. Though the art is beautiful I must say and Xantia is hot ;) It had potential but it's not nearly as good as the classics such as Monkey Island or even Simon the Sorcerer.
MineColony Upvoted for saying zanthia was hot lol. The puzzles were actually not outlandish compared to most adventure games, I thought. One of the reasons I liked it so much.
actually I think mixing the right ingredients was even harder than Monkey or Simon, also this game was far beyond its time, where everybody use text based commands, Hand of Fate only use one single pointer, like all adventure agmes nowdays
Brings back wonderful childhood memories. What a great game.
Kind of miss old games with art like this.
You're in luck, games with this art style are still being made.
Look for Heroine's Quest - The Herald of Ragnarok on Steam. It's for free.
"kind of"!!!??? XD
me too. true VGA pixel art was amazing. It was the apex. SVGA and scanned or 3drendered images were already popular and killed pixel art off. Malcolm's Revenge was already mostly 3d rendered and step backwards.
I randomly remembered this game from my childhood. I found it by googling "give onion to crocodile" which is the only part I remembered.
Same here. The quicksand was my key to remember this.
I remember so much from this game, I wish my other childhood memories were as vivid
I swear to God. First it's a crazy Jester, then the place just up and says fuck it, I'm out.

Just seeing that westwood studios logo again...*happy memories*
Best of the trilogy by far...so good. GREAT memories.
Thank you for putting this up; I never get tired of listening to it. Your hours of gameplay are not in vain, my friend!
Superb pixel art. Very painterly and imaginative. Nothing like it nowadays.
Back to 1995, I had 12 Mhz 286, 40MB MFM HDD 1,1mb RAM, and math co-processor (it was great advantage)
This was most favorite game those times (including Larry, Dune amd Wolfenstein).
I really liked to steam-open those letters over the hot springs. The content contributed to the lore.
Wow. The legend of Kyrandia series was my favorite of all point and click adventures (my favorite games period in fact). And to think, most people don't even have it in their top 50 point and click lists. I just don't get it. The memories this evokes gives me chills. This series was my childhood.
I do, well at least Hand of Fate
Thank you for taking the trouble to post this. I never got to play 1 or 2 myself, I only played 3. Wonderful to see how these played out. Thank you.
thankyou so much for doing this. Just to listen to the music, and then follow you all the way to the end really really closed a chapter for me (and I still hum the music)
Game of my childhood. Thank You very much :) Liked and subscribed. God bless You!

One of my favourite classic adventure games
That’s a classic Westwood sound! You can hear Dune2 ideas here and there as well.
I love this art style. The colour shading and landscapes are beautiful. I wish some new games would be made in this style.
Thanks for great job! So much memories arisen!!!!!! I want go back in my childhood and play again these games, experience all this great feelings!!!!! ;)
The graphical presentation is absolutely sick, saying this with a 2022 eye.
The best of Kyrandia's series. Fantastic pixel art too, much better than Malcolm's Revenge 3d rendered images. Most of VGA 3d rendered or scanned art looked like shat compared of true pixel art. Artists really put effort into it.
Bring my memory back to 17 years ago.
1:47:30 Hey, she's on the Rainbow Road! Watch out for go-karts!
thank you sooo much, brings back so many great memories
Entire Volcania story can be skipped by diretcly getting the two rocks and going to the Air vent.
One of the best games from my childhood.
Need this game on Steam with achievements
Game of my childhood!!!! :) I was.... 7 when I played this!
I used to try to play this game when I was younger. I think around 98-2000 or so. I could never figure it out. Granted I was like 5-7 haha. I have fond memories regardless and I still have the disc. Just wish I could play it!
All these games are the best. Including the Lucas arts games. Full throttle and my favorite The Dig.
Playing the dig as I speak also my favorite! Have it on my phone with scumvm.
Ye the dig was awesome
Good times :) These old Westwood games were alot of fun
Отличная игра.
Good old times when adventure have were still a thing

loved this game
Oh, nostalgia.
The whole second half of this game is so trippy, just like #3
yay I was waiting for this one!
my favourite childhood game
48:22 came here for this lol. Still remember finding that argument hilarious when I first heard it
I only played the first game, this is cool to see
Loved this
I miss this kind of games!
55:52 : I've realized, at some point, that this sequence is just funny, but have no impact on the rest of the story if you skip it.
I still love this game! sometimes I play again, is so funny!
Kane LIVES!
this is saweeeeeeeeeeeeet! all happy memories
when i first played this back then, i thought the graphics were amazing
They still are

pure art

Was a nice game. Seems worth a remake for 4K screens.
I absolutely love the Legend of Kyrandia series (the first being my favorite - I found Brandon's dialogue throughout the game to be so great!), although I feel like Legend of Kyrandia 2 was better designed (no mazes! Less random!) but Legend of Kyrandia 3... and the Cat Island is... a nightmare! I recently finished all three (long play and commentary) on my channel.
I was wondering what you use to run this game in its full glory?
:) Other then that Amazing run! Possibly one of the higher rated adventure game :)
Some of the music is similar to the first game, but the "scary theme" (14:22) sound a lot like something from Monkey Island.
It does!
Love Zanthia.
Very easy to download this, with voice acting
- download ''Legend of Kyrandia Complete Trilogy (Full CD version)'' from the pirate bay
- Unzip the file
-Mount Legend of Kyrandia HOF (with programs like MagicDisc)
-Copy&Paste all the files from the disc, to your own computer
-Download Scummvm (just google it)

I wonder if at the quicksand bog near the beginning, you can still cross with log even after tipping it over...
Ah, good ol' adventure games. Promoting common thievery. =)
Hey can I ask you something.
I played this game very long ago.
If you did downloaded it.
Where did you downloaded it?
Missed steaming open the letters!
Much better than the first game.
you did the gold coin task in morning mist a bit of a round-a-bout way, if you get one gold coin and gamble with a horse shoe on the floor (one facing up - a 'lucky horse shoe') you win everytime :o)
hmm this is the CD version... i actually had the floppy disk version, I liked the narrator who voiced that one better
Agreed!
BTW, there're more ways to get Zanthia in trouble than Brandon or Malcolm.
The Hamburger helper hand chose her.
41:26 - Why does the potion does not mix together once I put in the ingredients? It just reads that I've got the ingredients in..
Not even sure if you are still active. But here's a hint that'd speed up your time by a little bit.
If you take a lucky horseshoe (a horseshoe that is pointed upward), you can drop it outside of the bar with the octopus and you'll win every time. So you only need to make the coin once, then beat the octopus twice to get your three coins.
I wasted SO MUCH TIME as a kid, trying to beat that octopus, before I finally figured it out the horseshoe trick, lol xD
Wait, so did she and the Abominable Snowman bone? That was the implication I got. Just sorta surprised me given the cartoony family friendly vibe of the rest of it.
Which one is better, this one or Simon the Sorcerer (1)
Please jump to 49:46 -- hidden sexual innuendo or what!!??!!??
there's a few of those, mostly verbal
The best of Kyrandia's series. Fantastic pixel art too, much better than Malcolm's Revenge 3d rendered images. Most of VGA 3d rendered or scanned art looked like shat compared of true pixel art.
Some of the gameplay would never fly today! The pirate's gold tooth thing? Wtf!
The animation and sound is great, though.
What are the fire berries used for?
You could have used the Lucky Horseshoe, if you knew where to find it...
I STILL CANT UNDERSTAND THE INVERTED TOWER PUZZLE!!!!!!!!!!!
is there a logic?
great game! love zanthia and her clothes changin
It's the classic Tower of Hanoi puzzle, modified so you can only move the largest piece of the tower instead of the smallest. Wikipedia has an exhaustive article on it, but in short:
- You can only move one piece at a time.
- You can only move the largest piece of a tower.
- You cannot put a smaller piece on top of a larger piece.
The goal is to move the whole tower from one hole to the other.
hello , how does one see the hotspots ? is there a command for that ? thanks
why do you have to change the teeth to lead then back to gold? cant you just pick up the gold teath?
I was wondering that too.I have never played this game but what I inferred is it looks like you can't pick up the teeth without using the magnet else wise you probably get dialogue from the guy saying not to get near him .
If you tried to pick up the gold tooth, the pirate would notice, saying that's his tooth and he would take it back. If you turned it to lead, then he didn't mind.
certainly DosBox try this
Where can I get the version with speech?
Swamp Rat was best character.
Hi, My Kyrandia 2 Hand of Fate have subtitles instead voices, how can I change that?
Perhaps you're using floppy version. It has no voice. You can check it in game menu. If the name is CD Rom in the title, then you'll need to put digital samples in Kyrandia's SETUP app. If it's a floppy, you'll need to download CD one
Is the Hand true main antagonist in Kyrandia Trilogy?
41:17 - waste of food, there was a normal sandwich in there, she could have ate something.. :/
Cool game. But the ending of is way, way too frustratingly difficult. Drove me insane.
I TO THIS DAY Say on a daily basis, "Sorry! We don't take bribes!" from the 2 dum dums on top of the wall when you try to give them a sandwich! I have my 2 girls saying it too!!! CAN YOU RECORD THAT PART!!!!! PLEASE!!!! I need to hear the actual audio and I want to show my girls so they don't think I'm THAT crazy!!! THANKS!
Heya, I got Kyrandia Book 1 working, but this one however, I cannot for the life of me get the voices working :(
any help?
Is your version the CD one? And are you using DOSBOX?
I didn't remember it has audio dialogues ._.
I thinks there was actually 2 versions. 1 Disk version (without audio dialogue, lo lighten it) and 1 CD version with Audio.
Faun is funny.
2:00:34 Foreshadowing, anyone?
Олды тут?
Hey Mr stick, are you following me?
why dont u put on the text?????
Ironically, it was better without the voices. Yes, it originally had no voices.
West woods cartoon networks
hey...
I disagree...

yea exactly, i remember the ending to the 2nd game and it got me so excited cuz i thought we were gonna be facing Malcom again.

for my the legend of kyrandia is 2ed part only) 1 part - very boring, 3 part - has no the same charm)
Not enough advertisements? Impossible to watch this upload.
Are there any games with worse voice acting than Kyrandia?
Final Fantasy X
