Since 1980, Roberta Williams has brought us some of the best adventure games ever made. Many of these titles have pushed the limits of computer adventure gaming. Her signature King’s Quest series is made up of such titles. King’s Quest I: Quest for the Crown is the first adventure game to be modeled in a 3D like environment.

Totally brilliant. The story is filled with a type of imagination that is rare for computer games, old or new. Five out of five.

I need to know what the alphabet translator is and where to get it.  If someone has one and can email it to me that would be great. I am stuck at sacred mountain cause I don’t have the tranlator.  Thanks

This is one of my favorite games of all time! Just a little info for anybody looking to get this game to work on a newer system: I’ve stumbled across various patches and VM’s which will “play” the game but most aren’t up to date with XP and usually the game still has issues such as the sound not working and random crashing. However, Vivendi Games, who in case you all didn’t know has aquired Sierra and all it’s properties not too long ago, has just released a King’s Quest Compilation for Windows XP, which contains KQ 1-7. It’s under $20, which as we all know is WAY cheap for this set.

FYI, Vivendi has also released similar compilations for Space Quest AND Leisure Suit Larry. Is Vivendi trying to bring adventure games back in style? I hope so, cause Vivendi has also paired up with Double Fine, Tim Schafer’s new studio, to create an “as-of-yet-un-announced” game. If you don’t know who Tim is, then you can’t call yourself an adventure gamer; regardless, that game will definately be one to look out for in the future!!!

I agree with With Your (Highs) But disagree with your (lows). Yes, You may Think that Alexander had never seen the lamp before,but with his own eys he has seen it twice.(1.When Alexander is first let into the castle-notice the lamp dangling from the Vizer’s belt?) (2. Now, remember the oracle?She shows you just a glimse of Shamir’s lamp) *Guide Book* The section about Genes includes a picture of what the lamps look like,does it not?Besides Alexander has herd about genes and their lams from Cassima,Jollo,And the peddaler.And Im sure Alex has common sense,he would have chossen the correct lamp even if he had never seen one(which he did) :)
