In fairness, I think we see Graham in the intro? We definitely see him as a petrified stone statue, that’s for sure. This thing barely qualifies as a King’s Quest game. King’s Quest VIII: Mask of Eternity (1998)
But come on, if you don’t have that “King’s Quest” title, you’re not at all worthy of our time. I gave Adventure in Serenia a higher ranking because at least I’ve heard of the damn continent. Apparently this is about the king who kicks it in KQI, which leads to Graham’s ascension. I’m not going to lie to you: I just found out that these two games were a thing about 10 minutes ago. So to honor them, and the many bby-geeks they produced, I bring you the definitive ranking.ġ0. Still, they were groundbreaking at the time, and apparently paved the way for all graphical adventure games. The first four games were the famous “text input graphic adventure” (for lack a better term), a style that aged so poorly it was rather famously mocked by the wonderful with “ Peasant’s Ques t.” From there it switched to point-and-click style adventure games, each with their own set of flaws. These games, set in the fictional world of Daventry (apparently also the same world where Rumpelstiltskin, Cinderella, Beauty, Dracula, and Little Red Riding hood live), centered on the epic adventures of the royal family: whether it was Prince Alexander escaping forced servitude and discovering his true identity, King Graham hunting for some tail, Princess Rosella trying to cure her dad’s heart condition, or Queen Valanice…being an overbearing mom.
If you were an 80s/90s child with nerdy parents or a Gateway computer, there was a fairly good chance that you grew up playing the King’s Quest games, by Roberta Williams. But…it’s got Kuvira voice-acting in it, so how bad can it be? Because it is yet to be completed, we’ll have to hold our judgement. This list will exclude the current, episodic King’s Quest, whose first chapter was released last July.
