NZGamer - There are some adventure games that stick in your heart, years after their time has faded. Titles like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Monkey Island, Sam & Max, Full Throttle or The Day of the Tentacle were watershed moments in the development of my gaming pedigree. But we tend to forget that even those early titles were standing on the shoulders of giants, and one of those giants is the King's Quest series.
IGN: "Why video games hit us so hard, featuring Wadjet Eye founder Dave Gilbert, Tokyo RPG Factory director Atsushi Hashimoto, Night Dive CEO Stephen Kick, most of GOG, and Ron Gilbert. Yes, that Ron Gilbert."
Nostalgia is a prickly subject when it comes to entertainment and the abuse of the word makes it even harder to discern what can be considered a classic nowadays.
Welcome to Dave’s Bathtub Time Machine! Every week Dave will take you on an adventure back in time where graphics were horrible and save files and checkpoints were missing. His first quest ties in with a revival of a classic that’s just recently resurfaced – King’s Quest. Do you have fond memories of King’s Quest 3? David had glorious memories, but we’re not all that sure it’s remained as memorable as nostalgia tricked him into believing.
Sit back and enjoy David’s frustrations as he dies numerous times, which ultimately has him starting from scratch every time.
It´s been years since I (Robin Ek The Gaming Ground) played King´s Quest 1,2 and 3. However, I still remember those games to this very day. And I still like the King´s Quest series. So i´m very happy to inform you that AGD interactive has released a remake of King´s Quest 1-3 all for free!
