A King’s Last Request

Sir Graham, the noblest knight in Daventry, has been called to his liege’s side for an urgent matter. King Edward the Benevolent informs him that he is getting up in years and may not have much time left.

In order to ensure the continued safety and prosperity of the country after he passes, he entrusts his knight with a sacred mission to find three lost treasures. These include a mirror that can see into the future, a shield that will protect the kingdom from war, and a chest with an unending supply of gold. It may by a fruitless journey, but Edward promises to award Graham the crown should he actually succeed.

With his head held high, the hero sets off to complete his king’s quest.

A Blast from the Past

If you’re not in the know, then a small history lesson is in order. King’s Quest I: Quest for the Crown is a hallmark in the history of gaming. It was first released in 1984 as the first adventure game to feature a graphically-interactive world as opposed to the text-based games that dominated the market back then. It launched a long series of games that to this day are regarded as undisputed classics in the genre.

It was remade in 2001 with a number of updates to improve it in many areas. This new version contains all sorts of new features, including:

• Gorgeous new 16-bit graphics that feature a greater amount of detail while giving it a classic retro look.
• User-friendly point-and-click interface and controls.
• Fully-voiced text and dialogue.
• An all new optional “Safe” mode. While this is active, you don’t need to be afraid of running into a dead end that renders the game un-winnable; you can always complete you adventure!
