Sierra Games Has Brought Back The Old School Favorite King’s Quest

Sometimes reliving your youth offers a wealth of amazing memories. Do you remember sitting in front of your very large (and yet super trendy) PC, playing the thought provoking adventure games popular at the time? I can remember starting off with Wishbringer, which offered no graphics at all and operated solely in DOS prompt!
Then we transitioned to the "big time" with King's Quest and Space Quest! These games offered you the fun of a Choose Your Own Adventure/puzzle type game while broadening your mind as you actually needed to THINK to play the game.
Sierra Games has announced they are going back to the classics with a revamped version of King's Quest, launching on July 28th. The trailer is fun and looks to provide a much more interactive world, complete with interesting characters and personalities all while staying true to the original.
In a world where games have gotten more and more realistic and graphic, there is something to be said for a solid, game that everyone can enjoy.
A game like this could easily be the "in" for young gamers or perhaps adults who have not really played games before. A game like King's Quest can open imaginations to perhaps moving beyond into games like Dungeon & Dragons or even crawler type games.
All I know is, that I have such fond memories of playing these kinds of games and will happily give it a go again.
What do you think of the new King's Quest?

Looks good, would love a remake of Beneath a steel sky remake, or Indiana Jones & the fate of Atlantis, or a new day of the tentacle, always have been a sucker for point and click/adventure games. Although im not so sure the action platformer elements by the looks of things will give me quite the same sense of nostalgia.
Beneath a steel sky was great, but a bit short if i remember correctly .. another adventure game that could use a remake is Willy Beamish
Have willy beamish on my mega cd 🙂 good times
yep good memories of playing the old ones, this looks great!
Graham does look lot different in this new version. He no longer looks like Patrick Swayze.
Oh my gosh! That literally made me lol! So true! Ha-ha!
I love the old Sierra stuff.
Roger Wilco FTW !
I played a lot of Sierra quest games as a kid. Loved them all but the Space Quest series was easily my favorite!
The video looks nice, but I’m pretty sure it’s just cut scene stuff – the brief gameplay after the credits looks very platformer 🙁
Think it has to be platformer given the platforms its being released on point and click sucks with a joypad. Can only hope that P&C makes a come back with the vr tech in development by all the major manufacturers imagine playing myst in full vr could either be a lot of fun or serious motion sickness. I’m hopeful that this could be a next Gen implementation of the action bits in fate of Atlantis or grim fandango. Although I doubt my hopes will come true
