@@mrg1247 Its not so much 2D or 3D as its how people present them. I think Spyro and Crash Bandicoot on Playstation 1 is still good despite how good the remasters are of those old games. Sure there may be rough around edges though of some of the old games. There is lots of 2D and 3D games that can look terrible without the right talent i think
This game was my absolute favorite as a kid. The music especially. I taught myself how to play most of the songs on the piano when I was 12 and still sit down to play them sometimes when I’m feeling nostalgic. 🥰
My brother and I still will occasionally steal food from each other's kitchens and if caught will say "I..Took a mint" and the obligatory response : "That is what they are there for."
I honestly think Ratner's work in this game is one of the most impressive performances in any game I've ever played. Especially when you consider the absolutely massive number of lines he had to record, and not a single one is phoned in.
Never got a chance to beat this game when I was a kid. Now that I’m 35 watching the play through, this game is a freaking masterpiece! The ballad at the end??? Forget about it! 12/10
It's almost bringing me back 27 years to the best memories of my life, I still remember sitting with my brothers enjoying the story, music and puzzles while trying to solve them. Sierra was an icon in gaming industry.
Wow! I am hit with nostalgia. King's Quest VI was one of three games that I remember being bundled with the Compaq Presario 982 (Pentium 90 with 8MB Ram, Windows 3.11) desktop that my parents bought me in 1995. The other 2 games being: The Incredible Machine and Lode Runner.
"Old lamps for new" is the dialogue that I remember the most. Played this game when I was around 10-11 y/o. I don't think I finished the game, but I fondly remember scenes in it
2 года назад+3
I had the same experience (I've played this game at 12 years old and never finished it) and we probably live sor far away from each other! I'm from Brazil! It's amazing how games like that could connect people abroad!
I played it around age 8-9 as well and definitely only got to that labyrinth and couldn’t get any further. Not sure if it was too difficult or too scary at the time lol
THANK YOU for posting this!! One of my favorite games of all time. I grew up with it, and now I play it once a year or so with my kids, so it's very special to me. I appreciate this! I wish Sierra would make a comeback. I think people could really get into this kind of game!!
I...the nostalgia is overwhelming. This game back in the early 90s is one of my very fondest gaming memories. There's something so relaxing about this game. And man do I love this kind of old time PC sprite graphics.
This is such a flash back! I loved this game! I think I got this for Christmas when I was 14. I never finished the game ... so I finally am happy to see what happens (24 years later). Haha
😂😂😂 i as well/ I have no idea how I got here but I remember my dad getting this when it first came out when he had the FIRST CD-ROM, j remember being blown away at 13 🤣🤣
So ahead of it's time, the story telling...amazing! One of the greatest cpu games of our time. Well my time, I'm an 80s baby lol! Sierra made some great games.
I played this game a long, long time ago. I was never able to get past the first "hour" of this game. I'm glad to have seen all the events unfold and experience the journey to the end. Thank you.
The music in this game is lovely. My favorite place was the flower garden. Great voice acting too. I was always really scared of the old man with the glowing eye.
Roberta Williams made this game. She was a genius. I was probably 9 or 10 when I played this and it was the first computer game I ever really "got into".
In the process of moving and ran across this game, still in its box with all 9 install floppy disks along with the guidebook and all other associated literature. Had to come see what it looked like as I don't recall ever playing it. An early version of my Steam library!
Fun factoid: Robby Benson, the Voice of Alexander is also the voice of Beast in Beauty and the Beast (the original animated one, not the live / cgi action one with Hermione...) Also never realized that "Death" was done in the style of HR Gieger. Always loved how Roberta Williams could drop so much into her games; she is the mother of adventure games, for certain!
While KQIV is my favorite game of all time, VI is a very close second. So much nostalgia. I remember my Dad and I playing together when I was a little girl in the early 90s. I remember we made a map of the catacombs because we kept finding ourselves in the “pit” rooms. I remember when I figured out to beat the Sense Gnome Guardians before my Dad. Good times!
Oh my Godddddd I bought this game at a garage sale when I was a kid, and could never get past the minotaur part. I remember being genuinely freaked out thinking he was always following.
As an adult, I just don't have the patience anymore to sit down and play a game like this to the end. As I kid, I spent countless hours on these games.
Wow. I found it. Cuzz you posted it. Thank you. So much. This was at my apex of gaming. So I thought now we have call of duty and other games like halo. I play halo with my son. But. It’s all look at screan and kill. These games made you look at one another like wow. That just happened. I’m all for new games. Multiplayer games are awesome but these told story’s on another level. I’m glad I grew up in this time line
I used to get king's Quest games for my birthday. I loved them so much. I think I was 13 or so when this came out and I was obsessed. Thanks for the memories!
I remembered a lot of things just watching this gameplay. Things that were happening in in my life at that time... this was so awesome to watch! Thanks.
I LOVED this game as a kid the end song was moving to. I even have a hand held PSP gaming system and run a PC emulator on it, and still play this game on it sometimes.
Parts V and VI were my favorite of the series. I had both on CD Rom, and I Hero's Quest: So You Want to Be a Hero. Some of the best PC games that I ever played. Games like Skyrim owe so much to these early pioneers of adventure and high fantasy gaming.
In under 10 years, the King's Quest games (I- VI at least) went from being fetch quests with 16-color pixel blocks with nearly no sound to having painting-like graphics, professional voice acting, orchestral music, and detailed plots and characterization. They also more or less launched an entire studio which went on to produce games in other genres (crime, mystery, action fantasy, sci-fi/comedy, etc). Few other game series can claim to have advanced so much or pushed the boundaries of the medium forward.
I've had many long fun hours playing this over the course of my lifetime. This was my very first King's Quest game as a kid like back when it was still on a floppy disk and I still enjoy the hell out of it. And annoy the hell out of my parents whenever they're around and I'm still playing it.
King's Quest 6 was among the first games to benefit from proper voice acting back then. The game was originally released on floppy disc with no voices at all back in October 1992. CD-Rom games were just at their beginning back then and the voiced version was only released the following year.
15:20 The question is: were they hiding Henry Cavill somewhere when they modeled Alexander after him or did they cook him up in a lab after they played this game?
This brings back great memories! I remember playing this with my brother as a kid, he made it all the way into the palace using a single save file. He happened to save the game a split second before the guards caught him. We tried dozens of times to somehow avoid the guards after loading, but to no avail. We had to start over from scratch 🤦

I still find it so amusing that they cast Robby Benson as Alexander, who's arguably best known as the voice of the Beast in all of his Disney incarnations (including Kingdom Hearts), a year after the film, and the Beast appears in the game, but voiced by Townsend Coleman (who also voices Alhazred, Shamir, and Lord Azure).
The pinnacle of Sierra games, despite the cheesy “girl in the tower” song. I spent hours playing it as a child, and eventually got the happy (long) ending. KQ7 was a definite downgrade, though it was pretty. KQ8 was an embarrassment. You missed 4 points: 3 for unraveling the spiderweb and getting the torn page that said “love” on the isle of Wonder, and 1 for not sending a rose to Cassima via the nightingale.
Kq1: how to be king of daventry (the 3 treasure) Kq2: lonely, wife needed (magic mirror to the rescue) Kq3: how to kidnap a prince and teach him how to magically make you a cat Kq4: gotta be the girl to save my family Kq5: ooooh I saw everything, king graham (by cedric the owl) Kq6: That princess kidnapped by the brother of whom i made as a cat is now appearing in the magic mirror (she must be my future wife, magic mirror don't lie) My father owned a CD kq1 to kq6 really nostalgic for me :D
Yep, the magic mirror either shows you your wife or puts you in contact with dying fairies who can help you save your father's life. It doesn't do anything else ever. 😂
@@janmartenlocher KQ3 is amazing to watch but is a bit outdated to play for modern times but i really love the story and environments. Alexanders adventures and focus on making spells has always been the cool part to his theming. I just wish they did more like that
@@David-ne2cc Have you played ALL three remakes, then? I esp LOVED as you said, the spell making in the rennovated Part III And the music was good, too!
The voice audio cut out while on the Isle of the Sacred Mountain. Oh well, I can still hear the audio in my head from memory after playing this game many times over.
Dear god. I don't wish to offend but, this playthrough really reminds me of playing this with my little sister. She would talk to and examine literally EVERYTHING! Sometimes even clicking on random scenery because she wasn't convinced that you wouldn't find some hidden dialogue. With the benefit of hindsight, I really can't blame her, though. It's impossible to describe just how impressive all of this was in 1992. Glorious, fully voiced audio thanks to CD ROMs. 256 colors on dedicated video boards. All paired with compelling text written by actual authors. This was award winning stuff back then. :)
I remember playing this game and thinking "they've done it, the most realistic graphics there could ever be!" Lol
@@mrg1247 so true, they really took a step back in design when the artists were limited by polygon count lol
The graphics still looks good though. And i am speaking as someone who never even grew up with this.

Only to be bested in the very next instalment.
I think it looks ugly compared to King’s Quest 5!
This game was my absolute favorite as a kid. The music especially. I taught myself how to play most of the songs on the piano when I was 12 and still sit down to play them sometimes when I’m feeling nostalgic. 🥰
same 👍🏻
thats my exact feeling when I play this or Space Quest 4
Same here.
You have any videos of these songs on your channel? I’d totally listen to them
@@jjmah7 I’ll work on it 😉 🎹
My brother and I still will occasionally steal food from each other's kitchens and if caught will say "I..Took a mint" and the obligatory response : "That is what they are there for."
I love the narrator's line readings. There's so much atmosphere and personality in just the narrator's exposition lines.
Voice over legend Bill Ratner
I honestly think Ratner's work in this game is one of the most impressive performances in any game I've ever played. Especially when you consider the absolutely massive number of lines he had to record, and not a single one is phoned in.
Exactly. I like to watch at least a partial playthrough every few years for the nostalgia which is the narration.
Never got a chance to beat this game when I was a kid. Now that I’m 35 watching the play through, this game is a freaking masterpiece! The ballad at the end??? Forget about it! 12/10
I remember my Dad and I playing this on a Compaq Presario in the 90’s. We never took the time finish it so it was good to see how it ended finally.
It's almost bringing me back 27 years to the best memories of my life, I still remember sitting with my brothers enjoying the story, music and puzzles while trying to solve them. Sierra was an icon in gaming industry.
This really is one of the greatest adventure games.
this game has so much heart, amazing voice acting and beautiful music. By far 1 of the best games of my childhood

Yup, had that same package. Same system, same three games.
@@dawnbreaker2912 Me too
Luna Smith Mine had a 4th game packaged: “The MisAdventures of CockSluts 4: Land of Anal invasion.” It was all right.
Same boat as you, best times of my life
Oh my goodness, I had that too! KQVI was my first computer game; it was 1993 and I was 5.
I long for the time when I had hours on end to play games like this.
"Old lamps for new" is the dialogue that I remember the most. Played this game when I was around 10-11 y/o. I don't think I finished the game, but I fondly remember scenes in it

I finally finished the game feeling so satisfied. Took forever to get through the catacombs. Having to constantly save and drawing my own map. Lol
I played this back in 1996. I was 7 crazy
did you save cassimas parents?
Ah. This game. Hello old friend.
wow un coup de cœur, à l'époque et encore aujourd'hui. Merci.
So ahead of it's time, the story telling...amazing! One of the greatest cpu games of our time. Well my time, I'm an 80s baby lol! Sierra made some great games.
Most peaceful five hours of my life.
Thank you for posting I played this way back when it first came out and many time since. Thank you for posting!
The feelings this game inspired in me as a child. It's incredible to see this! Thank you.
No matter how old I get I still love this Game
My favourite part is when he makes Death cry and the whole narration about it... such a well written scene. Kudos to Jane Jensen and Roberta Williams!
I played this game a long, long time ago. I was never able to get past the first "hour" of this game. I'm glad to have seen all the events unfold and experience the journey to the end. Thank you.
Oh my god it’s amazing to see this game again after all these years. I love RUclips.
The music in this game is lovely. My favorite place was the flower garden. Great voice acting too. I was always really scared of the old man with the glowing eye.
Roberta and Ken Williams hit it out of the park with this one.
Roberta Williams made this game. She was a genius. I was probably 9 or 10 when I played this and it was the first computer game I ever really "got into".
Remember getting our new family IBM cpu and this came with it. Playing this with my dad are some of my fondest memories.

This game is a work of art. Imagine it were made into a good movie!
What a classic. This and V are the high points of the series, and of point-and-click games in general.
King's Quest V is more of a low point
@@TheInkPitOxI love them both
Fun factoid: Robby Benson, the Voice of Alexander is also the voice of Beast in Beauty and the Beast (the original animated one, not the live / cgi action one with Hermione...)
Also never realized that "Death" was done in the style of HR Gieger. Always loved how Roberta Williams could drop so much into her games; she is the mother of adventure games, for certain!
This is a wonderfully nerdy comment you left and I'm here for it. Thank you for the fun factoids!
Thank you for this, I love it.
That's something I didn't know about before. Guess I learned something new today.
Robby Benson was also the voice of Prince Valiant from the cartoon The Legend of Prince Valiant.
Ohhh interesting
So many parts of this game are in my subconscious. The Minotaur Catacombs in particular!!
I used to watch my older brother play this game. The graphics, colors, and sound were mind blowing at the time! Miss you, big bro.
Audio outtake at 4:43:37 "or feel my wrath--" you can hear the director saying something for half a second after that.
Alexander pulls out his “magic map”
Alexander feels a strange pulling sensation

I remember we made a map of the catacombs because we kept finding ourselves in the “pit” rooms. I remember when I figured out to beat the Sense Gnome Guardians before my Dad. Good times!
My Dad drew a map of the catacombs for me too!
I liked your method of playing through the game--examining most everything for the additional narration and getting a better sense of the world.

I love the underworld in this game. It's a very much more "reasonable" underworld than what is expected ha.
By far the best kings quest game and arguably the greatest point click adventure ever made.
I love this game my father Had to block 1900 numbers since i was calling the Sierra hint line like crazy good times
The writing in this game is incredible!
This game was the GOAT

What I loved about this game was the option on how to compete it. This was the first game I ever played that did that.
So many nights playing this game as a kid!

My friend and I's joke was always "Alexander pulls out his magic crap". Oh to be so simple again

The voice acting here is better than some of the modern stuff 30 years later. Its impressive how much voice acting it has. It wasn't very common then.

4:46:00 -- it's so funny that Alexander still walks so calmly and slowly in such a tense moment of battle :D
And it doesn't look like a chase at all!
Never finished this game as a kid...I always got stuck after the catacombs. I always thought I was muuuch closer to the end than I actually was 😂

Back when a game icon on your desktop was serious business.
My favorite game of all time.
You did an excellent job on this walkthrough... WELL DONE!!! 10/10
The best of the whole series. I love this game because there were multiple endings and ways to finish.
Oh wow, this takes me back. Some voices I recognize now these days. The 10-11 year old me didn't know much anything except that I loved this game.
I still find it so amusing that they cast Robby Benson as Alexander, who's arguably best known as the voice of the Beast in all of his Disney incarnations (including Kingdom Hearts), a year after the film, and the Beast appears in the game, but voiced by Townsend Coleman (who also voices Alhazred, Shamir, and Lord Azure).
What? Jesus... This is magnificent... I spent two years on this game... This is surreal... Thank you...
Sitting here watching this with my mom since she played this in highschool and dang… looks like I was born too late to enjoy this game thoroughly lol
I played this so many times as a kid I have it almost memorized.
The pinnacle of Sierra games, despite the cheesy “girl in the tower” song. I spent hours playing it as a child, and eventually got the happy (long) ending. KQ7 was a definite downgrade, though it was pretty. KQ8 was an embarrassment.

Loved this game. Loved it loved it loved it!
Kq1: how to be king of daventry (the 3 treasure)
Kq2: lonely, wife needed (magic mirror to the rescue)
Kq3: how to kidnap a prince and teach him how to magically make you a cat
