Are you an “old skool” Sierra type guy/gal? I was … I think I played every Sierra game that ever came out (before they were bought out).
Help these folks out … it’s been a work in progress since 2002 and now some corporate idiot wants to scrap all that work (just before a release nonetheless) … on a happier note, there still is Peasant’s Quest.

Here part of the email:
“Had you heard about the King’s Quest fan game that had been in the works since 2002? Over 40 people have worked on it. Programmers, writers, artists, animators, actors — all because they loved King’s Quest. When finished, the game was going to be made available to anyone who wanted it, for free, via the web.
It was due to be released this December, but just a few weeks ago, Vivendi Universal Games (who now owns Sierra, and thus the rights to King’s Quest) issued a cease & desist letter to the fans making the game. They were forced to shut down.
Some King’s Quest fans, myself included, have joined forces in an effort to save the game. We’ve just recently launched a website.

We’re asking everyone to send an email to Vivendi, and we’ve made it very easy to do so via our website. There’s an email link there — you click it, and up pops a new email all ready to go. All you have to do is hit send. It literally only takes 10 seconds.
What we really need right now is to get the word out about our efforts. “
