King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow (PC) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

- Опубликовано: 20 апр 2015
- A complete playthrough of the 1993 DOS CD version of Sierra Online's graphic adventure game, King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow.
This playthrough shows the best ending (though not quite a perfect score), and is running the DOS VGA version (as opposed to the Windows 3.1 version with the really ugly higher resolution sprites pasted over the original VGA resolution backgrounds).
Make sure you don't miss the game's radio-aired single "Girl in the Tower" playing during the credits. It's quite a doozy. As corny as it is, you can't argue with it's production value, nor can you really fault it for how much it screams "OMG early 1990s soft rock in a computer game!" ...if there are any people that would scream such a thing. The rest of the game's music is pretty fantastic too.

I love when you reach the Isle of the Sacred Mountain, the narrator almost blatantly says, "The logic cliffs are copy protection. Good luck pirates!"
Back before the days of the internet where you could find a gamefaq or walkthrough.
Honestly the good old days of gaming not the shot em up games if today
yep shame we don't have any other type of games except for shooters. man real shame that
I miss fantasy games in general so much
You can blame the rise of multiplayer and online gaming for the rise of shooters. Kings Quest would only appeal to a small number of people nowadays, and game companies wouldn't view them as profitable enough to develop.
@robbthewolfking Rpgs are way more oversaturated than shooters tho
Only shooters peoplr actually play in a mainstream basis nowadays are battle royales.
No one plays Quake champions, Titanfall 2 has a small cult following, no one knows the darkness 1 and 2
No one played Insurgency sandstorm
No one played verdun and a shitton of other fantastic shooters
Only really S tier one that was aknowledged by the mainstream public in recent memory was Doom eternal. While rpgs always have the game awards, a shitton of awards and everyone screaming about how "great they are" (even tho some of them are extremely dissapointing such as cyberpunk, Dragon age inquisition or Ff7R)
Adventure games being niche has really nothing to do with it and even tho niche they are still alive in mass marketing with devs such as telltale games or Quantum dreams receiving a lot of recognition.
Its a shame that people blame shooters for that really. Such a great genre full of great games.
"I'm a little attached to my ring..." Promptly gives it away on almost the very next screen.
One of my main games as a kid. Sierra could do no wrong back then! This series, Quest for Glory, Freddy Pharkas...all winners!
Personally, I remember the citybuilding games. I can't remember how many hours I put into Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom.
God I remember this from my child hood.... Makes me wanna play it again...
First Kings Quest I ever played.
It's an amazing game for sure!
Erin McRorie You can. Not only is it available for free on abandonware websites, but if you want the enhanced version, you can buy it on GOG.com for like 5$.
Erin McRorie I'm so glad you got to experience it again. In my opinion, it's one of the best games of all time. I've probably played it through about 10 times by now.
To my knowledge, I don't think a free copy exists of the enhanced remake with the voice narration. I was only able to find the free floppy disk version with just the text. I just bought it; it wasn't expensive at all. I remember that it took me A LONG TIME to realize that I actually had to read a book that wasn't included in game to get past the cliffs of logic. It made me love the game so much more. I remember also figuring out how to get past the guards on the Isle of Wonder with my late Bompa (Grandpa). I miss him. He was an engineer that loved getting these games for his kids and grand kids. He LOVED puzzle games. Made you think really hard :)
Haha yes! Floppy Disks were the ultimate! Honestly, I don't even remember how I was able to get past the main puzzles without a walkthrough. I think I played the game with my family members in order to beat the game. I remember freaking out when I figured out how to get the magic spell book. I didn't even think to click on the counter in the book shop. Bompa has been gone for about 9 years now. Miss him a lot! Do you by chance know of any other point-and-click adventure games like KQVI?
LOVED this old game. Favourite parts were the smug ass narrator and Alexander's derpy, clueless responses to the utterly ridiculous things happening around him
I could finally pass this game when the internet was becoming more popular in the early 90's :) and was able to look up walk throughs :)
xD actually the game comes with a physical walkthrough/cheatsheet/answer key. I remember flipping through those sheets of papers whenever i got stuck
One of my favorite games of all time. I couldn't get the sound to work while playing it online but it is still awesome. I just wish there was a sequel to this game after Alexander was named King.
Played this with my father growing up. The bing sound when you do something correctly is something I still hear to this day lol.
Hearing that sound after figuring out a tough puzzle is immensely satisfying.
@@holden6104 exactly!
I still replay King's Quest 3 and 6 every once in a while... true masterpieces of the genre. This one has one of the most memorable appearances of Death in video games in my opinion.
Those were the true standouts of the series, and 6 is probably my favorite Sierra PnC game ever. Also agree on how it uses Death, truly memorable and gets away from the old Grim Reaper look everyone else used.
This was always my favorite game when I was young. We had the all floppy version that didn't contain speech, a shorter intro and the midi version of Girl in the Tower. I liked the end credits of the floppy version more cause it showed the empty locations and made you think about the adventure you played for weeks. 😍
This is one of the most memorable games of my childhood. The version I'm familiar with had different animated faces. It might be because it was the Windows version.
The Windows version was in SVGA (this is VGA), so the portraits were more detailed and higher resolution than this one has :)
We had the Windows version when I was a kid. It was on this new type of media, called a CD-ROM :)
This game influenced me and my siblings for ... well, for the rest of our lives, really. "Whaddya wanna carry all this TRASH around for?!" etc. I like this playthrough because you take the time to look at more details instead of rushing through.
It makes my heart ache with nostalgia. Incredible memories.
This was not easy. I had no guides. Had me stumped but love the memories
I think the points you missed were from grabbing a second white rose, after bringing Beauty to the Isle of the Beast, and sending it to Cassima via the bird.
This I remember and it made my childhood Even better.
love the introduction music part when alexander talks with his mother
loved this game and KQ5; i played this countless times.
Downloaded, need to watch this everywhere
good storyline, fairytale, epic game design in one package
agreed! i wish more people knew about this game
I remember playing this PC game when I was a kid and I still have the 1992 CD version of the game. Now I have Windows 10 it is impossible for me to play it now.
You might be able to put it on DosBox, but I don't know about the Windows version. Good luck! :)
I have Windows 10. Download the 'ScummVM' program. Works perfect for the 90's games.
Gog.com has it
*_"King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tommorow"_* for *_MS-DOS_* . The plot is for this installment is: 😃 *_"Hey! Remember that slave girl that *_"Graham"_* helped and hinted at being a love interest for *_"Alexander"_* in *_"KQ5"_* ? Well, this is essentially *_"Alexander"_* being like: 🙄 *_"I should go leave Daventry to see my girl. I hope she's OK- AAAND she's in danger. Wonderful... Time to save her!"_*
POSITIVES
• *Good Graphics* (The VGA visuals look better than the previous game. I feel the choice of color is a bit more varied here than in *_"KQ5"_* . The *_Windows_* version looks off, though. A mix high-resolution *_DOS_* sprites with the unchanged *_DOS_* backgrounds? Ewww!)
• *Good Sound* (The music is good and the VOs are very cheesy but enjoyable. My favorite is definitely *_"Alex"_* going *_"WHOA! Wait a minute!"_* during that stupid rock climbing section. With that ridiculous music, it always cracks me up... Also, *_Tony Jay_* , the voice of *_"Frodo"_* the *_"Hunchback of Notre Dame"_* is in this game. Yeah... How rad is *THAT?* )
• *_"Hooray For Puzzles!"_* (As with many other *_"Sierra"_* games, you help *_"Alexander"_* solve various puzzles in order to make progress in the game. Most of them are very simple, while others require your noggin. It's pretty fun.)
NEGATIVES
• *_"WHOA! Wait a Minute!"_* ([GROANS] At one point in the game, you have to help Alexander through a staircase of protruding stones... by clicking on them... with the right timing! And there's a lot of them! It's *VERY* annoying and easily the worst part of the game. But hey! You get that hilarious *_"WHOA! Wait a Minute!"_* from Alex followed by the silly danger music. So, *that's* something to gain from this.)
Final Rating: 9/10
Another masterpiece. What more is there to say?
*_"WHOA! Wait a Minute!"_*
love the introduction music
This is my favorite game . This version of the game doesn't have the narrator though . and the Magic Mirror scene was a bit different because when the Magic Mirror awoke in the original version you hear Cassima Beckoning Alexander to come to the mirror. this version is the one I play on Steam.
What's that song in the credits?
KQ V and VI have some of the best VGA 320x200 graphics ever seen in a game
Lord of the dead 3:20:00. The writing is amazing!!!
I used to own the Kings quest collection that had kings quest 1-6 on it. Well one day my friend grabbed it off the counter and smashed it because he thought it was one of those free AOL dial up cds. I was devastated.
The narrator is funny. He says Alexander cannot reach the sky.
How you prove the princess is really genie. Mother knows her kids.
They just don’t make games like this anymore. When I was a kid I would get sucked into these games like I was actually there.
This kind of game still exists.
@@joperamod5760 you have any examples?
@@iamradical Blackwell epiphany, black mirror series
@@joperamod5760 I will check them out, thanks.
This was the first King's Quest game I ever played. Really got me into the series. It was pretty challenging for me when I was younger. I also have fond memories of the Bill & Ted game for pc. I think it came with like a phone book or something. Any chance of that game making an appearence? It's a decent point-and-click. Plus...it's Bill & Ted, so what could be better!
Actually, the more I think about it...I don't think it is a point-and-click game.
You think so? I always though of point and click and just meaning mouse driven adventure game
NintendoComplete not really sure how to classify it. I do know I had fun with it because I loved the movie. Would love to see you tackle that one.
judomaster81 I'll give it a go. I've played it but never finished it. Maybe I'll have to work on changing that :)
I know this comment is ancient news by now, but I did pay and upload Bill & Ted for the PC if you didn't see it
Alexander has a dangerous case of "one-itis".
4:05:37 nobody is at the wedding
Still some Sierra games need to be brought back to GOG and Steam I would love to play Eco Quest, Inca, Lost in Time, and Ween the Prophecy I'm sure there are some I am forgetting. I really need to do this game I started it without commentary but now that I have better equipment may redo with commentary really it's just an excuse to sing this song at the end lol
HOW DO I GET THE EFFING WORM TO TALK TO TO ME ?!?!?!?!?!
Well you collect the purple thing floating in the water after it drifts to shore. Then you go to the Isle of the Beast and give it to the weird little possum lizard thing on a tree, and he'll come with you. Give the possum lizard thing to the worm, and he'll give you a book. And books are amazing.
To kick things off, you have to look at the book on the front counter in Ali's Books. After that he will talk to you because you're looking for a "rare book," as Ali requested. :)
THANK.YOU TWO. i was the one that used that account and i attemded MULTIPLE tries to get the dangling participle and i managed to do it THANKS TO YOU .
You're very welcome. I know how frustrating it can be to be stuck on a puzzle in a quest game :)
