This is a point & click and graphically enhanced remake of one the original King's Quest adventure games, which were created by Sierra On-Line, the company that entertained me throughout my teen life and until I grow to a man. These games were the brainchild of Roberta Williams, co-founder and former co-owner of Sierra Entertainment, which ruled the gaming world from 1984 until the last official game, 'King's Quest VIII, Mask of Eternity,' released in 1998. These classic games are set in a magical medieval kingdom of Daventry and every chapter involves a member of the royal family who embarks on an adventure, which takes place across many mystical lands and also involves many interesting game characters.
In this chapter, the Kingdom of Daventry's peace is in great danger as the three magical and most precious items, the magic mirror, the shield and the chest, have been stolen from the palace. You play as Sir Graham, the bravest knight and you have been chosen by King Edward to go on a quest to find and bring these items back and restore peace in the kingdom and also become the successor to the throne of Daventry.
This remake is created using the well-reputed AGI engine and reprize the world of Daventry with beautifully redrawn graphics, a traditional point & click interface, large inventory, multiple dialogue options, delightful digital music and sound effects, and not to mention some additional puzzles and good voice acting, which were not possible due to limitations in computer technology the first time around. Believe you me, this classical remake must not be missed by the fans of Sierra On-line games as playing it is like reliving Roberta William's masterpiece in all new costume. |
