King's Quest I

An updated version of the remake of the original King's Quest. That is, a remake of a remake :) Text input, except for a few key plot necessities, is replaced with point&click. Graphics are beautiful VGA. Superb music and sound (optional). And many of the original voice actors from later official King's Quest games lent their voices to this unofficial remake (also optional). Play in window or full screen, 1.33 fullscreen (anamorphic) or 1.60 widescreen, and 320x200 or 640x400.

Like the original, this game is unfair :) So save often. However, save slots are limited to 20 at a time. A knowledge of nursery rhymes, fairytales and folktales is helpful. There are many object to find and us in the game to score points. There are usually several solutions to a problem that score a different amount of points. Misusing items will subtract points, sometimes permanently. 'Beating' the game is fairly easy, a perfect score is a bit trickier.

Easter eggs:
1. Take the goat to the middle of the screen east of the friendly elf and eat your carrot.
2. With the voice pack active, quit the game while under water and listen.
3. Listen to the sound when you use the mushroom
4. Talk to yourself until you say interesting things.
5. Read the note on every screen until it says something new.
6. Watch the rising smoke from the Witch's cauldron.
7. Use the magic mirror on yourself while using the ring
8. Look at the Rock at the base of the tree on the screen with the waterfall.
9. Look at the brush near the stump where the pouch is.
10. Save then talk to a castle guard while using the ring
11. restore your game and talk to the other guard while using the ring
12. Keep feeding the Troll till something else happens.

You'll also need AGS for Linux

There is only one instance where keyboard input is needed, this is a totally point and click driven adventure. It is not offically part of the King's Quest series, but is a remake of an official game that is. This game is also available in the Icelandic language. The protagonist is a member of the Royal Guard (a military group). I'm not sure he is highborn however. The Ubuntu tag no longer applies as newer versions of Ubuntu, by default, use MIDI and synthesis that is not automatically compatible with all AGS games. No easy instructions have yet been created to explain how to get these games to run. However, older versions work with the standard AGS for Linux instructions. But, this game can be made to run on Linux without any programming skills.
