King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown

King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown is a fan-made VGA remake of the adventure classic that helped establish Sierra's reputation for graphical storytelling. Developed by AGD Interactive, it updates the original game with improved graphics and a more modern presentation while preserving the basic story of Sir Graham's quest to recover three magical treasures for the kingdom of Daventry. Exploration, puzzle solving and conversations remain at the heart of the experience, along with the occasional opportunity to discover that touching the wrong object is a surprisingly effective way to die. The remake gives newcomers a much more approachable version of a historic adventure while retaining its old-school spirit. It is an excellent introduction to one of the foundational series of computer adventure gaming.

“In 1990, Sierra released a remake of King's Quest I, taking advantage of newer technology and graphics (using their SCI engine, 16 color EGA graphics, sound card, and mouse support). Unfortunately, this version ended up being a total market failure. As a result, it was highly unlikely that Sierra ever had thoughts of making an even further updated Point-and-Click version of King's Quest I to match later games in the series. This is where we at AGDI decided to step in. Our aim was to remake King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown to the same level of quality as seen in Sierra's King's Quest V. We believe that the enhanced gaming experience for fans has justified our months of unpaid hard work.” - AGD Interactive
