In a year full of HD remasters and definitive editions, it’s also refreshing to see a brand new entry in a long-forgotten franchise. King’s Quest from The Odd Gentlemen is the first official game in Ken and Roberta Williams original series since December 1998. That’s a wait of almost 17 years (remember that, Half Life fans, when you want to type an angry email to Gabe Newell about the wait for a new installment) !
King’s Quest is considered the grand-daddy of point and click puzzlers and one of the original graphic adventure games. Long before the Monkey Islands, Broken Swords and Day of the Tentacles came along, Sierra was sending us to far-off lands on fantastical, wild and wonderful quests.
But what is the King’s Quest and why should you care? Let Expansive fill in the blanks ahead of A Knight to Remember, the season’s first episode due out later this month…
