If you grew up in the 80's, do you remember games like Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, and perhaps the best of them all, King's Quest? They were games from the legendary, and now defunct, Sierra Entertainment. If you long for the fun of yesteryear, then you're in luck. You can now play the first three King's Quest Games if you own a Mac or PC. The best part? They're free.
AGD Interactive is a non-profit fan company that was given a fan license to remake the King's Quest series. King's Quest I was released back in 2001, and has seen a few revamps since then, mostly recently in September 2010. King's Quest II followed in 2002.
The games aren't just conversions of the originals to support modern operating systems, but rather are complete overhauls of the games. Compare the type of graphics, below, from the original (left) and the remake (right), and you'll see what I mean. Also, the remakes include additions to the storyline, deeper plots, enhanced puzzles, and fleshed out characters.
- KING'S QUEST VII: THE PRINCELESS BRIDE Adventure Game Gameplay Walkthrough - No Commentary Playthrough.
- Download King's Quest – Chapter 1: A Knight to Remember. An aging King Graham reflects on a life of adventure with his granddaughter, Gwendolyn, taking players back to his teen years and his quest to become a knight of Daventry in King Edward's royal guard. Discover a wondrous world full of whimsical characters, charming puzzles and perilous dangers in this fun and enchanting coming of.
In February 2011, the King's Quest III remake was completed. This one included a digital music score, as well as voice acting. I've only just started playing the King's Quest I remake, but I was very tempted to jump to the third in the series, as it looks to be the most refined. Of course, half the charm of these older games is that they feel unrefined and retro.
Have you gotten through all three? Do you know of any other retro adventure games that are available for true geeks at heart?
