I ADORE King's Quest. I played up to 7, #8 is dead to me. The music is awesome and the loading-mouse crown is the best thing ever.I think my favorite was 5 since the graphics, music, and voice!!! were at an amazing quality for the time. So many funny things in that one and so many ways to get totally stuck with no hope.Did you see the remake versions of the first 3? Epic. You can find them here: http://www.agdinteractive.com/games/games.html. So great and they are slightly different from the originals but close enough that they feel the same. As far as I know the 4th remake is just stuck and at this point I have no hope of it ever being finished.
I had a friend who played it all the time. Your post suddenly brought back a lot of memories.
Oh wow, I need to check that link out! I vaguely remember seeing remakes of 1-4 floating around Youtube.. I remember playing a demo of KQ9.. Geez, I forgot the name of it.. But it was Cloud something or other?? Completely fan made. The plot was pretty interesting.. You play King Graham and start out on the Isle of the Crown on the Land of the Green Isles .. Some evil mist cloud sorcery guy? ( reminded me of the Care Bears and MLP movies ) kidnapped Rosella and Alexander, made a heavy rain cloud over the Land of the Green Isles and turned everyone else into stone..reminds me of the same thing that happened in KQ8..but anyways.. I'll see if those seem familiar! Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:
I played King's Quest 7. I think it actually was part of a set with another game, like you buy this game you get this random game free but I can't remember what original game it came with. Anyway, I didn't completely solve all the puzzles but I did win the game in the two ways you can. You have the option to skip to the next level or skip to which level you want. I did attempt to solve the puzzles first though. I found an online walkthrough recently which I could watch and see how the puzzles were solves and it blows my mind. Of course a long time ago our house got robbed and they took all our computer games and King's Quest 7 was one of them. Are the other games any good? Are they all connected in some way or are they each completely different stories?

I love the King's Quest games! I think 6 is probably my favorite but I was always fond of 4 as well (5 is right up there too). I hated 8 though - played it through once and got rid of it. One of the things that amused and yet frustrated me was how easy it was to die just walking down the stairs in the early games. Sierra adventure games always did have some really odd ways to get your character killed. Quote from: Sweet_Stuff on August 03, 2016, 01:39:20 PMOh wow, I need to check that link out!

Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:You're probably thinking of The Silver Lining They released the first few chapters but I think it's stalled now with one more chapter to go. I was waiting for the entire game to be released before playing it.
I'm old enough that I played the original (as in the very first one) when it was new. I also bought the collection some years ago. My funny memory is from the second game. I was seriously breaking into a freaked and cold sweat when I had to slay the vampire the first time. I didn't know if I could type the command fast enough to kill him before he woke up and killed me. (This was when I was a kid who did two-finger, non-touch typing.) It was intense but I made it!
Ok, so apparently someone is still working on a remake for IV. O.o Found a post about it from Feb 2016. http://unicorntales.org/kq4-perilsofrosella-remake/forum/Thread-Hear-me-everyone
Ooh - I have a very vague recollection of playing (the original?) King's Quest 5 on my dad's desktop in the earlier 90's. Had no idea there were remakes.I... wasn't very good at it. It was too complicated for me and I was pretty young. I'd probably be better at it now, though.
I had KQ 1-7 as a kid, I loved Kings Quest 6 and 7, especially 6. There is so much to love about that game! I was never very into 1-3 but I have played the remakes recently and really loved them! I hope they'll get 4 together eventually!Never even played 8, as it didn't seem like KQ to me.I bought and played through the first chapter of the new Activision KQ based on Grahams early life, but I really didn't enjoy it, it wasn't what I had in mind and didn't capture the KQ feeling for me at all!
