![]() Yes, KQ1 crossed many boundaries and introduced to us the foundations for a new genre, opening the door for games such as Maniac Mansion, Space Quest and other classics BUT … well, the game is crap. ![]() Sadly enough, that’s where the positive comments have to end. At the time, the graphics were astounding, resulting in a huge hit in the USA (although much less so in Europe). Released as early as 1983, it overshadowed the text-only Infocom games in terms of technology. Not to mention the departure from the realistic drawing style of the other entries in the series in exchange for more brightly colored Disney-esque graphics.Made by the legendary Roberta Williams, King's Quest 1 laid the foundations for what was to become the “graphical adventures” genre. It reminds me of the storyline from the movie Brave. ![]() Alternating the story between Rosella and Queen Valanice, as told in the chapters, the two must find each other and stop an evil sorceress from getting home. You get the chance to play as both Rosella and her mother. Rosella and her mother wind up separated, turning Rosella into a troll. Rosella decides to follow a magical creature into a whirlpool that transports her and her mother to another world. The young princess, however, is more interested in adventuring than marriage. In this King’s Quest, Queen Valanice of Daventry has gotten the bright idea to marry off her darling daughter, Rosella. However, it sheds the icon-based interface of the two previous games in favor of a more simplified ‘smart cursor’ used for general interaction. Like the previous episodes in the series, The Princess Bride is an adventure game primarily based on solving inventory puzzles. King’s Quest VII: The Princess Bride is the seventh installment in Roberta Williams’ King’s Quest series, developed and published by Sierra On-Line in 1994. ![]()
