Kings quest 6 flickery5/30/2023 ![]() Finishing that game with the max score was such a high, such an ACCOMPLISHMENT. If we counted the death scenes, we'd be here all week.) If you manage to get the 'best' ending, then you've managed to help just about every single character you've met throughout the entire game. ![]() Lovely music, the nightingale theme always sticks with me (though Girl in the Tower was kinda cheesy and makes me giggle). I think it was the longest and largest of the games, with so many locations, so much to see and do and get involved in. Fantastic voice acting (It had freaking Robby "Disney's Beast" Benson as the lead). I never played Mask of Eternity, though I would guess it probably comes right before or right after KQ 1 on my list.Ī note: Some of the early games, I haven't played through in their original form, but I HAVE played the VGA remakes by AGD and Infamous Adventures. Thankfully there's an amazing VGA remake on the web as a free download. The plot is weak, the locations are drab, and the puzzles are just stupid. Basically a remake of the first game in a new setting. There are some neat sections, but most of the game is a bore. Rosella's character change from adventurous and intelligent to a whiny, dumb valley-girl is excruciatingly bad. Coming after KQ6, which was very dark and intelligent, KQ7 feels too kiddie. Again, Roberta Williams tries to radically change King's Quest. Still, its interesting historically, and some sequences are still quite enjoyable. You can see this many times in the game, such as the "Push Rock" puzzle, where pushing the rock from the wrong part of the screen kills you. The big selling point was that it was a full graphical, "3D" adventure game. Still, 256 colours kicked ass back in the day, and it was nice to play as King Graham again. A great introduction to the SIERRA point-n-click interface, but the plot is a little weak, and there's just too many mazes (3!!!) for its own good. This game was EVERYWHERE when it first came out. Even more frustrating timed puzzles/dead-ends in this one (Especially in the first section of the game). It still feels at odds with the series, in a very good way. KQ3: After the mega-hits of KQ1 & 2, Roberta Williams was very brave to do something radically different, plot-wise, with KQ3. It does show its age though, with many sequences that can be frustrating (The troll cave, for example), and many dead ends. KQ4 is by far the best of these due to the sheer inventiveness of some of the puzzles and situations, plus a well-written plot (for its time). KQ4: The first five games use the same structure of placing the main character in a non-linear world with many puzzles to solve independently of each other. That being said, there still are some excellent games in the series. King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow is by far the best. King's Quest 8 (never played 8, but basing it on popular opinion).fighting sequences in a series that in the past was exclusively adventure. King's Quest 3: I hated this game with a passion, because of the whole 'timing' thing.i also could never make my way down the mountain.never got very far in it.ĩ. King's Quest 1 original: ehhh.remake way better.never liked it even as a kid.it's like roberta williams WANTED you to die with every step you made.Ĩ. King's Quest 2: Awful game.carbon copy of the original king's quest, but it happened to be a little better.liked the remake though :-)ħ. Loved the visit to the town though with Archduke Fifi le Yip-Yap IIIĦ. King's Quest 7: I actually liked this one somewhat, but i didn't like how you can skip from chapter to chapter nor did i like how easily you could die. King's Quest 5: I really enjoyed the voice acting and the story of this games, but its numerous bugs (including the fact that i've never been able to play it completely to the end without crashing) takes it down from no 2 to no 4.ĥ. King's Quest 1 remake: Speaking of nostalgia.this was actually the first adventure game i ever played.i played it on a school computer when i was 6 years old in '92.my second adventure game ever played was KQ 6 in '93.Ĥ. I loved how there was essentially a different fairy tale in every screen.part of it i suppose is nostalgia :-)ģ. King's Quest 4: The troll cave part was awful (especially crossing the chasm) as was the part with climbing the stupid whale's tongue to tickle its uvula with a feather (which when i first played it, i didn't have before getting swallowed by it), but outside of that there was just something magical about this game. It was creative/imaginative, had GREAT voice actors, the puzzles were very nicely integrated into the game, and above all, the story was compelling and interesting.Ģ. King's Quest 6: One of my favorite games of all time.
