Wow they did a great job with this game, the story is more complex and interesting than in many official King's Quest games! I should say... this might be my favorite - after KQ6 of course.
What is so good about 6, i hated it as a child, liked 5 way more... as in general I liked the first Sierra 256 color titles the best, after that they became sloppy in terms of graphics consistency.
Thanks for no commentary, and thanks for clicking on everything. I would have done the same. The details and narration are what I enjoyed most about this series.
Yep. The only kind of playthrough that is better than a no-commentary-detail-exploring one is one that talks about behind-the-scenes dev info and/or speedrunning tips (something like Volvagia's Ocarina of Time playthrough or Research Indicate's Jurassic Park Trespasser)
I love the ingenuity and creativity that goes into point and click games, and the music, dialog and coice acting are top-notch. But NO WAY i would figure out all this, this is why i love these longplays
Same thing. Back that times I've hardly could pass several starting screens. The logic how game designers made this puzzles is still unable for me to understand.
I feel so bad for Possum! Couldn’t they have made Graham her legal guardian and let her stay with them just until he completes his mission? He’s literally a king! He could definitely afford to take care of her and let her have a full life!
he was still questing...she probably would have died by the wolves. But she would have joined her parents, as it was sad they were still waiting for her.
I could've swore that King Graham's fan voice sounded familiar, just like The Snarky Avenger from the Zombie Astronaut's Frequency of Fear episode, "The Slumgullian Candidate".
The villan in this remake is obviously a reference to one of several sorcerers who plague Gram's family across the games. I'm trying to figure out who. Mannanan would make the most sense. He would be younger in this game too, explaining the fresh appearance. Anyone have any concrete info?
He’s The Father, and pertains specifically to the AGDI games! He leads the Black Cloak Society and coordinates with the villains in the main series specifically to obtain the crown of Daventry, which has a powerful jewel he desires.
I never completed this game by myself, so this is the first time I see the post-King's Quest VIII scene. Very well done! Inspite I hated that game, they combined it very well with the rest of KQ lore
Is the evil enchanter Manannan from KQ3? It would make fit together...stealing Alexander as revenge on graham. That and where do you think his cat came from eh?
Honestly, I thought King Graham's voice was atrocious on an audio recording level, and the voice actor was terrible and sounded to versed rather than genuine.
this is the only Kings Quest game through 6 where the characters solitary, no initial inventory beginning makes no sense. He's a king, he should be able to bring a whole team with him. The other games sort of make sense in this way.
What do you think why they changed the title to romancing the throne to romancing the stones? Since it means "prepare the jewel before making a jewerly" so for me it seems makes less sense.
Why is this called a "Homebrew?" It's a remake, certainly, but I wouldn't called it a Homebrew... it was made by a real, professional company: AGD Interactive.
Maybe because many of us see them as Tierra, their original roots... but you're right given that this game is at least as well done as any other Sierra game
I played these back in the day, not in VGA (Well not all of them), but it was a learning curve, also it was typing not the mouse click entirely, Kings quest 3 was my favourite, but since Windows was not how I loaded the games, typing was generally just normal =) The Kings Quest/Space Quest and Police Quest series are most likely the best from the old days. Should also check out Loom, that was amazing by Lucas art
It's like his predecessor, who lost the Magic Chest, Magic Mirror, and Magic Shield through super stupid decisions and then sent Graham out to fix his mistakes :B
its amazing when Serra launched the latest Kings Quest game how it changed the story's of King Graham, his becoming a knight then king of Davintry, his meeing & courting of princess Valiness, what happned when he saw his son Alaxander who had just escaped from Many aka Mananin & so on
Wow, this dude is confident that the lady wants to marry him.. there must be hundreds of pixilated kings seeing her through a vision in a mirror and wanting to marry her. Also, itsn't this 'Romancing the Throne'?
This remake was released in 2002, with the latest version being released in 2010. While the comparison is funny, it couldn't have been a reference to Undertale.
No, the AGD title is Romancing the Stones, because their version of the story involves Graham collecting three gemstones to reach the island where Valanice is held captive.
This game spends too much time in bashing Christianity. Note that Roberta Williams did not had anything to do with this. If you see the original version the plot was totally different. The plot was significantly changed in the remake by another company that is not Sierra, I think it is called or was called Tierra. In the remake you see in this RUclips video there is a recurrent theme on the church trying to hold back people and the Count wanting to move forward and enlighten (minute 4:09) on the side of change. Christianity is not anti-change, anti-enlightment, and anti-moving forward, although it depends on the semantics assigned to these words. All the contrary, Christianity always seeks change for the good and Christians know that this is a never-ending goal. Everybody knows that not all changes are good. Notice that the game does not specify what change, enlightment and moving forward exactly is.
Oh geeze, Christianity always seeking change for the good? Are you familiar with the Crusades or the Inquisition or the Thirty Years' War? How about something more recent, like the attempted cover-ups of sexual abuse involving the Catholic church? And don't give me any of that no true Scotsman tripe.
@@mustachesamurai I don't agree with the sexual abuse. But don't get filled up by the negative highlights of the media. They show the worst events but never show statistics, which most of the times are not their friend. Less than 1% of Catholic priests were accused of sexual abuse and a large amount of those cases have been proven to be false accusations. I agree that all priests with true accusations should be ousted and brought to justice. The rate of teachers in public schools is way higher than the Catholic church.. But it does not makes sense to close public schools because of some pedophiles that got in. Just take out the pedophiles and those who cover them up and keep the public schools. The same goes for the Catholic church.
@@mustachesamurai It is true that mistakes have been done by the church, but look at the statistics, how much more good have been done. The good things, like statistics, are rarely shown in the media. The Catholic church is the number one charity organization in the world right now (If you sum all Catholic charities, which are many, I contribute to about 20 different of them and that is just a subset); contributing to education, health, food, and other ways. The church is composed of humans that commit mistakes like any other institution. Also the Catholic church played a mayor role in rescuing and development of civilization after the fall of the Roman empire.
*This game* is about a king stealing stolen things and exclaiming "You can talk?!" to everybody, including people. BTW, it is absurd that the king would go alone to anywhere, let alone on a dangerous adventure. Even the first game has made no sense on this since before becoming the king Graham already has been a knight, a nobility, and would also not travel alone to anywhere. It is also funny how characters in the game want to return stolen/lost things and when Graham returns them they give away at least no less expensive things in return, in effect losing them. Finally, too many scary/bad characters have an accent so the game could be considered xenophobic nowadays.
@@darthzounds4889 Well, sometimes it vocalising fuckin obvious thigs in such a serious manner, as like player can not see them himself, or too stupid to understand. Which is completely unnecessary and stupid itself.

This game was my childhood. I adore the depth of storytelling in this remake.
Wow they did a great job with this game, the story is more complex and interesting than in many official King's Quest games! I should say... this might be my favorite - after KQ6 of course.
6 is easily the best ♡
@@aubs965 People also praise the 2015 remake that covers all mainline KQ series, though reimagined.
What is so good about 6, i hated it as a child, liked 5 way more... as in general I liked the first Sierra 256 color titles the best, after that they became sloppy in terms of graphics consistency.

Batman is attending the wedding ceremony... No one else going to mention that?
I like this version much better than the original version of KQ 2. The original’s storyline was a little too lackluster for me. This one was awesome.
At approximately 2:54:34, if you look closely at the fireplace, it looks like a smiling face with the grandma's pot of soup being the nose. 😊
This is amazing. Thank you for uploading our childhoods. Hope you will play through the others.
25:19 - And that was the day Smeagol became Gollum.
Easily one of my favorite games ever... oh, gonna replay it!
I feel so bad for Possum! Couldn’t they have made Graham her legal guardian and let her stay with them just until he completes his mission? He’s literally a king! He could definitely afford to take care of her and let her have a full life!
he was still questing...she probably would have died by the wolves. But she would have joined her parents, as it was sad they were still waiting for her.
I hope Graham told Neptune about the impending Sharkee invasion...
The voices are good, but Possum sounds like Elmo.
The interpretor of Gervain especially was lifelike. So natural. They managed to attract some great talent.
I can see that. Another voice that comes to mind is whatever is hiding in the haystack outside of the village sounds like Jimmy from South Park.
This homebrew is very impressive
Wish they had included this version in the Steam collection!
It's available for free tho... This is a fan made game
@@abbyr8766where can I get it?
Rewatching because it’s awesome!
Leisure Suit Larry would have married Vampire Possum, after hitting on grandma, the mermaid, the librarian, the shop keeper, and Hagatha.
Now that explains what happens in parts 3 and 4
Wow! The guy from Quest from Glory 2
I could've swore that King Graham's fan voice sounded familiar, just like The Snarky Avenger from the Zombie Astronaut's Frequency of Fear episode, "The Slumgullian Candidate".
Why would you ignore the one interesting thing in the antique shop. The robot beep boop.
2:39:00 Connor of Daventry wearing the armor after imprisoning Lucreto and restoring the Mask of Eternity.
If the merchant were to have a name, I would call him: Mr. S. Terry O'type.
Thats a good one

He isn't, but there's a letter from Mannanan to Hagatha in this game which is only signed "M".
My favorite story game 😀
These voices are pretty good.
They did manage to get Josh Mandel to voice Graham, who was the original voice actor for him in KQ5/6, which I always thought was pretty cool.
I just wish he would have used better mic. His voice seem lower quality compared to others.
DoodleKaboodle stiff, cheap and unnatural. Well like most game VO in the early / mid 90’s so they emulated that feeling pretty good ;)
Honestly, I thought King Graham's voice was atrocious on an audio recording level, and the voice actor was terrible and sounded to versed rather than genuine.
I love how the green evil witch sounds almost cute.
LOL at the pumpkin with the Philly accent
Why doesn't King Graham take a guide with him!? My god!
this is the only Kings Quest game through 6 where the characters solitary, no initial inventory beginning makes no sense. He's a king, he should be able to bring a whole team with him. The other games sort of make sense in this way.
RIP Graham's freedom 5:08:06
What do you think why they changed the title to romancing the throne to romancing the stones? Since it means "prepare the jewel before making a jewerly" so for me it seems makes less sense.
The title is a reference to the 80s movie with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.
This might sound weird, but I can definitely find out IELTS Listening content from this game's dialogue. The story is really good
This guy sound like a guy from video game "Scratches" is this the same voice actor?
Yes he is, I think his name is John Bell, I love Scratches and love his voice too. Awesome :)
2:41:00 Now the creepiest of the game begins.
5 hours! That's a VERY long Adventure game.
Take the average speedrun times for:
Monkey 1, 2 - +-50 mins, Curse Monkey Island +-30 mins, Kings Quest 6 +- 30 mins, Space Quest 3 - 20 mins, Longest Journey +- 60 mins, Broken Sword 1 - 2hs, Siberia - 2hrs,
Only long if you already know what you're doing. It's not so short for a blind playthrough.
I wonder if we could push Agatha in her cauldon in the cave before getting the bird?
Tried it didn’t work
2:37:08
KQ 8 was a flawed game, but it's cool that the remake include Connor in the game
I like how they used the theme song from kq3
The lip-sync is amazing
I love the remake the story is better and more interesting.
You only looked at *one* book on the library shelves? Dude, you would've gotten *so* many more laughs if you'd looked at them all.
1:18:56 I wluld like to say underwater for hour just like a suicide while i tried to remove my demons 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
16:05 - Repress. Repress. Rep. Rep. Repressi--

Not only that but AGD obtained a license from Sierra to be able to make this
I had kings quest 6. This one looks nice too.
16:30
Why Gollum
Lots of plot twists and such.
Why its so difficult to admit this is much superior to the original game?
Of course it’s better. The difference you could do on a computer between the 1990s and 2010s has a little bit to do with that
Why does the narrator sound like Art Bell?
So the old woman is Dracula's wife. That's why she would have his things.
The subtitle is different than the original.
I played these back in the day, not in VGA (Well not all of them), but it was a learning curve, also it was typing not the mouse click entirely, Kings quest 3 was my favourite, but since Windows was not how I loaded the games, typing was generally just normal =) The Kings Quest/Space Quest and Police Quest series are most likely the best from the old days.

Imagine that Star Wars the second generation(from star wars Rebels to original Trilogy of star wars) was in King Quest VGA style
I can play this till I'm old.
Where can I find these remakes?
Graham is not a very good business man. He gets severely scammed in every transaction.
It's like his predecessor, who lost the Magic Chest, Magic Mirror, and Magic Shield through super stupid decisions and then sent Graham out to fix his mistakes :B
Maybe having a chest with an endless supply of gold has messed up his ability to calculate relative values.
@@daffers2345 lol, i am laughing of death

Also, itsn't this 'Romancing the Throne'?
They changed the title because he has to get those three stones to get to the special land this time.
Who's here in 1980?
3:26:26 Sasuke choke
1:50:30
I loved this game until the last 20 mins maybe. It got sooooo cheesy afterwards :D
DONT DO IT!!!!! SHES JUST GOING TO STEAL YOUR MONEY!!!!!
1:49:25 sans undertale
This remake was released in 2002, with the latest version being released in 2010. While the comparison is funny, it couldn't have been a reference to Undertale.
Kolyma??? This is a scary place in Russia.
Yes, sadly it is.
5:10:21
16:45 so it is the same player as the first one. My patience level can't handle your insolence. good day sir.
Okay, whoever made this homebrew got the subtitle all wrong. It's supposed to be Romancing The Throne, not Romancing The Stones.
No, the AGD title is Romancing the Stones, because their version of the story involves Graham collecting three gemstones to reach the island where Valanice is held captive.

It's dramatization. It's fantasy, none of it is real. It's a just a game, not that critical.
