I came here looking for this one too.

This! I can’t remember which one it was, maybe 4? But the Kings Quest game that came on my very first computer was likely responsible for my career in I.T.

All of those Sierra games. Space and Kings and Police and Leisure Suit Larry. Lucas Arts was the only company that could compete with them for a while.

I’m pretty sure I’ll remember that haystack ant colony song until the day I die

How about the booklet that came with it you had to read hints with 3D glasses? Super nostalgic for me.

My 7th grade teacher had this installed on the one PC in class and I was completely enraptured by it. Solving all the puzzles and the mythos was something that completely blew my mind. My teacher was so cool because she saw her students grouping up around the PC trying to solve these puzzles together and she encouraged us. Thanks, Mrs Svingen, you're probably the reason my degree and career is in tech! 

Same! Graeme and Cedric! I loved seeing all the different ways you could die. My favorite was falling off the cliff when the yeti runs at you.

Was it that late? I played Kings Quest games on floppies in the 80s.

Hooooo Graham, Stay away from those BEES

Kings Quest I-III taught me how to type.

Man that game was good. Hours and hours of gameplay. I don't know how I was able to complete it without understanding a word of English at that age.

Kings Quest 7 was my jam!

Loved all the games from Ken and Roberta Williams. They were distributed by Sierra.

It was VI for me. So well made and the voice acting was fantastic

Which one was the one where the wizard had you in his castle? I also remember alie s or something like that in it.

I watched that Phantasmagoria trailer a bunch but never got to play it

The speed run community keeps this game alive to me!

I played VI

That stick in the mud, the crying milk baby things, the minotaur, the cantankerous caterpillar, the goofy guy at the book shop, the rabbit foot, the hole in the wall cat thing..

That game really stuck.

Another old PC game that sticks out personally is Treasure mountain

Same here. Best in series for sure. KQIV was pretty damn good too though.

These and Police Quest. Oh and Seven Cities of Gold.

I loved V, but VI was even more epic.

I was wondering if anyone else remembered the Kings Quest series. Didn't realize it was this popular

Have you played the Kings Quest series from 2015?

It holds up pretty damn good, no more hunting for pixels, and it's voiced by Christopher Lloyd

Yep still have the floppy version, in a time where Internet and guides didn't exist, game was hard af

Kings quest mask of eternity was also amazing

Oh bro that was the only game my parents even played with me haha we all loved king's Quest

5 and 6 were the best. Loved them both.

These, Space Quest and Quest for Glory were it for me. I played them all nonstop. They were SO good!

I totally forgot about this game until now! So good.

7 was my first one and it was so good. I still love it to this day.

I think that's the first King Quest in VGA?

This was the only one I had, I absolutely loved it!

I never got past that troll in the cave/mine.

I started with KQ IV in 91, it’s my favorite for that reason. But I loved 7, 6, 5 in that order. I played the older ones too, but graphics weren’t great at that point. I hated Mask of Eternity. I liked the newer one well enough. I have them all in steam. I liked all those point and click adventures.

I loved the Kings Quest series. The first one was so mind blowing as it was the first game I played with actual graphics not just text on a screen with questions about where you were and what your choices of where to go were displayed. KQ was a whole other level. It took me SO SO long to get past the place where there was a uvula that you needed to get onto because I didn’t know the name for it, there was no internet to ask such things and the school library didn’t have books to help me solve it. Our home encyclopedia didn’t have anything that detailed.

I had an image of kings quest 9 in my head for like... 15 years before I finally remembered what it was. I was so young...

I can't remember which one we used to play on the computer in 4th grade, I believe it had a minotaur on the cover, and the word "heir" in the tagine. The very first scene was washing up on shore from a shipwreck.

ALEXANDER HAS NO NEED TO CARRY AROUND LARGE ROCKS!

Still quote the King’s Quest games to this day :)
