WHY ISN'T QUEST FOR GLORY INCLUDED?!

[Eggie]

Is Kings Quest 4/5/6 worth getting?
I'm interested because of Jane Jenson and prettiness and content that hasn't been fan-remade yet but my tolerance for Walking Dead stuff is very, very low. How much of that kind of thing am I likely to encounter in these?

If you've never played them, this is a great deal! King's Quest IV and V are both a lot of fun, although they feature a lot of old-school-Sierra death-at-every-turn and ridiculous-dead-end scenarios (particularly V). But I personally consider VI to be the best game Sierra ever produced. A fabulous story (thanks to Jane Jensen) with almost-always-logical puzzles, beautiful scenery, and memorable characters (if this includes voice pack, you get Robby Benson as Alexander, which is AWESOME). Adventure game gold.

6 is great, even by contemporary standards. 4 is okay. 5 is a piece of crap. Yes, it's the first adventure game ever with CD music, VGA graphics, and voice acting; but design-wise, it's a piece of crap. Heck, we ritually burned one of its gameboxes at Mittens, a couple years back.

6 and 4 have a number of walking dead situations, but in 5 almost every single puzzle is a walking dead if you do it wrongly. It's a POIsonous game!

Righto, well it soundsa a to me like £4.99 for 6 alone's a good ol' deal! Thanks guys!

Absolutely! However, be warned, there is a rather obtuse set of puzzles in KQVI...

I got the following from www.sierragamers.com, which is Ken and Roberta Williams' site to help people playing the old games:

The (Il)Logic Cliffs

Getting to the top of the Isle of the Sacred Mountain requires you to climb the Logic Cliffs, a series of puzzles that double as CP checks. Much of the information needed to solve the riddles of the cliff is found in wonderfully-cryptic clues contained in the game manual (which are reproduced below).

The first challenge: Only those pure of heart will be able to RISE the cliffs of logic.

The second challenge: A master of languages will SOAR.

The third challenge:
Four men standing in a row,
Third from the left, and down you go.
The rest, in order, move you on,
The Youngest, the Oldest, and the Second Son.

The fourth challenge: The Sacred Four of the Ancient One's philosophy were the emotion 'tranquility', the color 'azure', the creature 'caterpillar', and the element 'air'.

The fifth challenge: Only those of the highest order may ASCEND the cliffs of logic.

In addition to the above riddles, you will need to be able to decipher the ancient alphabet of the Sacred Ones, found here: http://sierragamers.com/aspx/m/634055 (scroll down just a bit)

Good luck!
