I like it the most when the king, goes on a quest.


9 TIMES.

[Tuomas]

the best part must be when you get stuck in those stupid puzzles that aren't even supposed to be solved by an average man. That, and the fact that you play 3 hours a row without saving, and then you click on a spot you want to approach and the character cunningly chooses to take a shortcut through the river or something...

Favorite moment was playing Kings Quest I for the first time when i was a kid. I remember being so happy that my dad bought it for me. Thank you Dad, you layed the foundation for my future adventure game playing years.

The grave diging in part IV.

This stupid death scenes (falling of the clif etc.) are THE greatest sh*t in AG history.

We realy don't like any title that have word quest in it (except space quest and this only because we enjoy sci-fi) 

[Paper Carnival]

I haven't played any KQ game . I'm such a heretic, I know.

I like swimming

Although I haven't had DIRECT experiance with original KQ's, I HAVE played KQ1 VGA remake. I remember the first thing I did...

Graham walks into castle
Lots of Talking
Graham leaves castle
I click on the river to move over to it
Graham jumps in and gets devoured by monsters.

Happy Days!

Meh - Huw

KQ hooked me for the adventure game cause.

I loved the whole concept of KQ1: the fairy tale puzzles, getting past the rat and the leprechauns, climbing up to heaven and defeating the dragon... Surely there were some silly deaths, but that was forgivable. The rest was so original it made up for those.

KQ3 had all those spells to choose from. Admittedly, it got a bit annoying when you had to type up the EXACT recipes for potions, but I liked it all the same. I guess the step up from KQ1 and KQ2 graphics to the AGI system took KQ to a whole new dimension for me. Those graphics really rocked back then.

And to my liking, KQ4 was the best of the lot. The greatest moment for me was when I finally figured how to get the lantern and get past the cave. That puzzle had me stuck for months!

I never got into KQ5 and the later. When the text parser disappeared, KQ lost its charm.

And then came Monkey Island.

I don't think I could enjoy playing through KQ games now, but I surely loved them back then.

I like everything that has to do with Goats.

Goat meat
Goat cheese (mmmmmmmm...)
Goat fur...

This is really good everybody!Ã,  I love the humor.Ã,  Another idea is for you to make up poems or hip rap songs about Kings Quest.Ã,  Post em here.Ã,  Keep building the hype!Ã,  Ã, 

[esper]

"hip rap songs???"

[SSH]

You know, esper, like MC Zimmer and his hit "Dance to the music (until your hip replacement gives out)"

Here's my poem:

I like to play Kings Quest
A groundbreaking adventure game
Until I fall in the river
Again and again and again

[esper]

That was awesome. As a result, I must join in.

There once was a Kingdom named Daventry,
Which always was needin' some saventry,
so a King with a feathered hat,
left the throne upon which he sat,
and... <splash>

There once was a wizard named Mananan,
who kidnapped whoever he cananan,
until the kidnapped, one glorious day,
courageously chose to go running away,
and... <splash>

I'll keep any more limericks ending in <splash> to myself

[Babar]

Classic stuff, esper! Although I prefer hap, ripped songs myself:

Music trails in.....

I wake up in the mornin' and I ask the elf:
"Is this quest worth 'suing, or should I start again?"
I'm tired o' being stuck an' even worse I'm chased
by an insane old wizard with a spell to waste.

The wiz give a damn about a zeeero?
Nah! You gotta dodge 'im, get the girl and be a heero.
Leave the bowl to the poor, who the hell cares?
One less hungry mouth on the wellfare.

It's time to fight back, that's what Eddie said,
Do the quest, and look back, now Eddie's dead,
I got love for the Father, but we can never 'crease the score,
'less we share with each other!

We gotta stop hoarding all the shit,
learn ta help the other fella do the sharin' bit,
But the only time we chill is when rob each other,
Gotta learn to be real, gotta trade together.

I'd like to go back to 'fore the quest begins,
but things change, and that's the way it is

Music trails out....

"hip rap songs???"

*Falls off chair laughing*

KQ3 - sneaking into Mananan's basement while he's gone.  And the creepy cat.

KQ4 totally sucked

[Potch]

I adore King's Quest.  KQIV was the first adventure game I ever played.  To me, they are the standard that I measuse every adventure game to.  Sure, they have their problems, but I still love them.  Every so often I go back and play them, just because. 

I don't think that I could pick just one favorite thing in the games.  But, some of my favorites.... KQ4: Getting sneezed out of a whale, cleaning the dwarves house, turning into a frog to swim under a waterfall, and giving each ghost it's prized possession.  KQ5: the ice queen, riding the sled, fighting Mordack at the end, Having the ants find the golden needle.  KQ6:  This game was amazing.  I loved everything about the isle of Wonder.  I also like the puzzles on the Isle of the best and the Dangling Participle.  This game just had so many funny things in it.  It was a lot of fun. KQ7: This game was just beautiful.  I always loved getting to play Rosella.  Valanice was kind of a pansy though.  I really liked Ooga Booga land and Falderal.  KQ8 was a travesty to the series.  As games go, by itself, it was a pretty decent game.  But it wasn't King's QUest.  As for the first three games, I only played them each once.  I didn't like 3 at all. 

NOw, that being said, it always had it's drawbacks.... mazes... UGH.  Mazes don't belong in adventure games.  They're just annoying.  And like many other said, too many pointless deaths... although some of them were funny, and in 7, it would take you right back to where you died, which was nice.  Also, in many of the games, there were dead ends.  Like, you could get swallowed by the whale without catching a fish, and then there was no way to get the whistle from the pelican.  You were screwed.  But, I loved the stories and the characters.  I loved the humor.  I just thought they were fantastic.

My favourate king's quest moment was when you started making songs/poems about the game. (I never played the games!)

Here is my moo-metal song!

Click and point!
Click and point!
Click and point!
Click and DIE!!

[Princess Rosella]

I love everybody's songs, poems, and raps!Ã,  The KQ hype is truly building.Ã,  We are keeping it fresh and connecting with the youth audience.Ã,  Here is my 50 cent giving props to the original KKI:

Kings Quest - ultimate adven-ture.
Slip past dan-ger, watch out foe da crea-ture.
Tip the rock and find the dagg-er.
How many ways to kill a dra-gon?
Shiny, sharp dagger with slashing act-ion?
Ditch the dagger to show style and grace.
Then splish splash water in the dragons face.
Everybody say "Kings Quest!"
Everybody say "Kings Quest!"
Save the kingdom - it's your fate.
You're being part - of something great!

Try and top that!Ã,  Anyone???Ã,
