@mr_creosote Thanks for this! I never played any of the Quest games; which one do you recommend to start out with?

@mr_creosote Ah, King's Quest 6, great memories :) Never was able to finish, not because I didn't try. Back in the day, bought a gaming magazine that included the CD, unfortunately they forgot to provide protection codes needed to traverse the cliffs in the game, so that's where my adventure ended xD

@mr_creosote Nice read! I was quite late to the KQ games but really got the feeling that they wanted to give the sense of a meaningful narrative without really understanding how to do so, or examining what they’d made for big flaws. KQV’s ending is another big example, where Crispin shows up at the end to magically restore everything to normal and teleport everybody around, which he could have done right at the start. It made the events of whole game feel redundant to me.
