The King's Quest experience (contains spoilers)
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2003 3:32 pm
I recently finished your VGA remake of King's Quest I. Replaying it after all those years was a very positive experience. I could play along the same line I did with the original, only seeing the world in more colours and interacting with it in more detail. <br><br>I saw on this forum that the puzzle of the gnome's name has been made a bit more easier. Good decision. It was a killer back then. Plus, also the old solution still works.<br><br>I can say I had a lot of troubles with the condor. I believe to remember that in the original it appeared randomly at the cave entrance, just like the monsters at other locations. I have to admit that when it didn't show up in the remake, I took a peek in the walkthrough on this site. It appears you first have to obtain the mirror and the chest for the eagle to appear.<br><br>In the original I always retrieved first the shield and then the chest, because the shield defends Graham against the giant. I was a bit disappointed that this was not possible anymore, because I thought it such an elegant solution to the problem. Better than just taking a run for it. Besides it is a bit strange not to have any use in the game for the three most powerful magical items in the kingdom. Using the ring is a nice alternative though. I never thought of that in the original.<br><br>I will continue with your KQ2. Reading all the positive remarks on this forum, I am very curious.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
