Also known as: King's Quest 1 - Quest for the Crown (1987) · King's Quest : Quest for the Crown (US)
Publisher: Sierra On-Line · Developer: Sierra On-Line
Sir Graham is a brave knight who is sent on a quest for three treasures that have been stolen by deception and stealth: a shield that protects its wearer from invaders, a mirror that foretells the future, and a treasure chest that is eternally filled with gold. If Graham brings these treasures back to the royal castle, the ailing King Edward the Benevolent of Daventry will present him with the crown. During his travels, Graham will meet characters who will either help or hinder him.nnnnKing's Quest is generally considered the precursor of third-person adventure games. Unlike early graphic adventures, the player can navigate the on-screen protagonist in eight directions, creating a three-dimensional exploration effect. The player character can also be hidden from view when hiding behind an object, is subject to gravity and has different animations for actions such as picking up an object, falling, swimming and so on. Graham can be moved using the arrow keys and perform various actions when the player types commands, which usually consist of noun and verb combinations (e.g. "Take a flower", "Talk to a man", etc.).
