Therefore the earliest of these games are quite primative, but have a nostalgic charm to them, and all the games have fun fantasy stories with a wonderful, light sense of humour. When the first King's Quest came out it was at the vanguard of game design. Unlike the text adventure games common at the time (some of which had a few static graphics), here you could see your character moving around an actual environment and interacting with objects. The games themselves are quite simple (basically, they are just treasure hunts where you have to find the right object and take it back to the correct character to trade for another object, etc.) but charming. The interface on these earliest games are parser, as opposed to point and click, meaning (with the exception of movement by cursor keys) you have to type in commands in order to tell the character what to do.

I can honestly say that KQ1-KQ6 were absolute masterpieces. If you love fantasy, you will love these games. The only one I can't praise is the 7th one. It was sort of experimental, and the graphics were far too cartoonish (for my taste, anyway). But the rest of them are really pieces of art. Although the earlier ones do not have state of the art graphics (when compared to current games) they are nonetheless enjoyable. In fact, the graphics were amazing for their time. I think my favorite one would have to be KQ4: The Perils of Rosella. You journey through the mystical land of Tamir as Princess Rosella on a quest to find a magical fruit that will heal your dying father and a talisman that will heal a dying fairy. These games are for those of us who would rather test our wit than our reflexes. Both the Laura Bow mysteries are also incredible. I find myself replaying them often, and...

I am writing this in response to the review that says you cannot run it on XP- you can. You must change the compatibility settings to windows 95. Right click, and go to properties. You will see the compatibility tab. Just change the settings to windows 95 and check all the boxes. |
