After King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella, Roberta Williams needs to rethink the basics for the next sequel in King's Quest series. The market is changing to where most people does not want to take the time to learn to type, spell, or figure out how to talk to a computer via an adventure game.

This game is a true classic, not to mention this is my favorite game in the whole king's quest series. It diplays nice and beutiful VGA graphics. The sound is great, even if you are using an internal pc speaker. My second favorite king's Quest game is King's quest VI. I'm currently playing King's quest V.

Kings Quest 5 is the very best adventure game i have ever played. It had an incredible emotional impact on me as a kid. Why? Beacause of the incredible fantasy world of Roberta Williams and the perfect maching sound tracks for eatch environment. This with a good story must have made sierra prodigys at producing a masterpiece with just 16 colors EGA at hand. If there is only one adventure game you should love, KQ5 is the one. You can feel the warmth of the sun as Cedric
flies with Graham in his claws over Daventry.
(yes even in the EGA version)

Will we ever experience an adventure like this again ? - Games as this arent produced anymore!
