Join Kosta Andreadis as he plays through some of the most seminal adventure games of all time over the course of 2014. In part one, he relives King's Quest I.
The original King’s Quest by Sierra was initially released in 1983, and although it wasn’t the first adventure game of its type and the 160x200 resolution graphics feature less pixels than you’d now find on some microwave timers, it was definitely ground-breaking for its time. And with all things that date back a while, it was the product of a different era.
This was a time when new episodes of M*A*S*H were still airing, when James Bond films were being released with Roger Moore in the titular role, and PCs were running DOS version 2.0. It was also a different era of gaming: in the mid ‘80s consoles were considered a thing of the past thanks to Atari’s misunderstanding of simple mathematics, and cutting edge graphics involved pixel blobs changing from one barely discernible shape to another.
