Copyright Information VERSION HISTORY 1.1: 2nd Apr, 2006 (Format update) 1.0: 28th Aug, 2004 (First version) =============================================================================== 1. Introduction =============================================================================== King's Quest I is set in the land of Daventry, where King Edward the Benevolent is ill. He summons his most loyal Knight Graham to castle, and explains that he has little time left to live. He mentions three treasures that were lost long ago: A mirror that can tell the future, a magical shield that protects the bearer from harm, and an enchanted chese that was always filled with gold. The king hopes that with the treasures found, Daventry may return to the wonderful place it used to be. The king explains that if the treasures are found, Graham will take his place as King of Daventry. Graham accepts, and sets off into the land of Daventry to find the three lost treasures. This superb VGA remake of the classic 1983 original is very impressive. The graphics have been given a noteable upgrade and look absolutely stunning in places, while the control system has changed from text based (where commands had to be typed) to a newer icon based system that was first seen in King's Quest V. Anyone who has played the original will only encounter some minor differences in gameplay here, but the visual and audio differences are huge. A speech pack can even be downloaded to further immerse players in this fantasy world. This game is freely available from http://www.agdinteractive.com/, and I highly recommended it to all fans of adventure games. =============================================================================== 2.
