This is a replacement longplay for an old existing one already done by Marlene55M because that one was done in 720p which is nonexisting resolution and ratio for such an old game.
King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder! returns to the King in his attempt to rescue both his kingdom and family from Mordack, Hagatha's and Manannan's brother and also an evil magician, in the land of Serenia. Originally released in November 1990, it featured a significant improvement in graphics (achieved through the introduction of VGA into the series). It was also the first King's Quest installment to replace the typing user interface with a point-and-click user interface. The title is a spoof on the proverb, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." -

As I child I watched my mom play every single game of kings quest. This brings back so many memories❤️
Same here -- to help me through the scary parts (especially the part with the boogeyman in VII), she and my older sisters once gave me a "magic potion" to make me fearless.
That's awesome you had a parent who liked to play these games.
Me too lol, that’s why I’m playing them now!
Nobody commenting on the gorgeous, magical, fantastical images? Was the main attraction for me.
Kings Quest always makes me feel like im travelling through a story book thats come to life, no one else has been able go capture this feeling since
Just reacting at things, that's quite ignorant..
It was some stimulating art.
I have the 16-Color Diskette Version on my shelf, and the WinCD disc too. There' so much appreciation for this one still I'd bet.
I became obsessed with one day living in a cottage in the woods because of this game. ❤️
Wow - I hadn't seen this for years, this game blew my mind when I was 11 years old. I thought the graphics were the best thing I'd ever seen.
Ah, life giving water. NECTAR OF THE GODS! Graham can now feel strength and renewal flowing thru him.
You can say that again!
The message that gives the most relief in the game.
Aaaaggh! I forgot to save and now I'm lost....AGAIN!!!😂😂😂 Memories
About
Lol, used to say that when I was a kid and no one knew what the hell I was talking
Playing this as a little kid, was so fucking epic. Nostalgia hits me hard on this one. Especially King’s Quest 5.
Roger Wayne you wear boat shoes with no socks ! Your feet stink !
Then F U back.
Amen!!
100% agree! I got to show my daughter who is 10 what games that made you think were like, it's a very big contrast against Phone App games.
I played the shit out of it, but my main love is King's Quest 6
This is the first ever computer game that I can recall playing as a child. Nostalgic!
The Sierraest of Sierra games.
Probably, or KQ VI
And all that implies, good AND bad.
No kidding.
Beautiful epic game of my childhood.Seeing things and hearing sounds that I haven’t heard in a long time sends chills down my spine and provokes familiar feelings of happiness in a time and place when and where things were much simpler yet complex
Graham: *walks 10 feet*
Cedric: “Whoo! If you’re going over there, I’ll wait for you here! It could be dangerous over there!”
Graham: “ Maybe you should just stay home next time.”
Sierra Animator: "I know it's lazy, but I'm just sick of drawing pixel art of that damn owl."
It's this game's 30th anniversary today. wow
I had this CD-ROM, I think as part of some free game pack that came with our old Packard Bell computer. I couldn't get ANYWHERE in it. I've looked the game up over the years and never found much information, but I was just reminded of it today and I'm excited to finally see what happens. You know, 28 years later. :P
The desert was perhaps the worst part. You had to map it yourself (and don't forget to write down where the important items and landmarks are) and you had to frequently find an oasis or water in general so you don't die of thirst.
@@Miler97487Didn’t the original game include a map of the desert?
@@AirPowered I never owned the original game as I never owned a PC at the time, I still owned an Atari 800XL and a TI-99/4A then. I do own the game as a download through GOG. Doing research it appears the original game never came with a desert map, so you'll have to map it yourself.
Now you look at games of the past time with a smile! :)
This game was so ahead of its time
This was my first Kings quest game, also my first point and click adventure game. This is one of my favorite games. I was so bad when I first played, I didn’t know what to do. I bought the pie and ate it.
Lol. I gave the gold needle to the gipsy. I ate the pie too lol
Well who the f knew you had to throw it in the face of a yeti in order to progress? Who the hell saw that one coming? I fed it to the eagle.
@@johnnyblack3676 wait you can actually feed the eagle the pie lol lots of ways to get stuck
@@ThrowedGenji lol yeah. I was like I aint giving him my lamb thats fer me.
I remember giving the gypsy the golden needle instead of the coin. And by not helping to save the mouse from the cat just outside of town you get stuck inside that basement
Forever classic that really deserves a modern remake/remaster
I remember playing this game as a kid. Couldn’t remember what it was called for the life of me.
For years I remembered a very small portion of this game and for the longest time never knew the name. “Graham shook the the stick, but it fizzled and died” was all I could remember. Man seeing this is a trip
I love Kings Quest V, and many of the tunes will never leave my memory: Dwarf Cave, Ant heap, Dessert Camp... :D
I loved the desert gang music. And they only let you steal one gold coin when there was a cave full of gold? If the hero got more gold he wouldn't have to barter so much, but I guess that was the point.
If you tried to grab more treasures the door would reappear and trap you in.
I loved this and the rest of Sierra games back then, this brings back so many memories!
I'm from Italy. This is my longest game ever. I remember when as a child i struggled to pass over the first part of the game. It's a very hard game and you can get a game over without knowing it (drink the soup for example before the yeti). A friend of mine at middle school had a book of walkthrough and let me saw it for 5 minutes at week. It was a battle, but with a few of tips i managed to finished the game. Nowadays i know if i was able to get through King Quest V i can get through everything.
I still remember this one. This was one of the greatest RPG Interactive Adventure Models for the PC, and still is one of my personal all-time favorites. Heck Yeah. But it’s been a while. This is definitely a really cool game!
I still love this King's Quest after all these years. This AND King's Quest VI. Was the first in its series to feature live voices. This one was what got me Into gaming period. Great memories
French at the tailor, German at the toy maker. Interesting language choices in a fantasy world.
In late 90s we had an ancient computer- but it could play this. My dad brought this game home for us to play. He told me if I could get past the snake he’d get me the sequel. I did. To this day, I always credit problem solving ability to the way these games made me think systematically.
I still remember how it felt to walk into Mordacks bedroom... I was legit so scared and felt like I really shouldn't be in there!
Ah, I've never grown old with this point and click games. It is King Quest that introduced me to this type of games, I played King Quest I up to III but they are the AGD Remake. Both Sierras version and this one is unique, the art sytle is just captivating. I remember searching for guides and replaying it to get the best score.
Im only turning 17 and I know this series is one of the best games I stumbled accidentally when I was searching for free games so far. This also led me to buy the King Quest game in PS4. Im now a fan of this well rounded game! Thanks for the little nostalgia I remembered
Glad you were able to come across these games from the Golden age of adventure gaming. If you haven't already comb through the rest of the Sierra and LucasArts catalogs, there are many true classics to be enjoyed
What PS4 King's Quest game??
This game was difficult to get through when in the desert
You had to listen to the beeping in the background. The more frequent the closer you are from dieing from thirst.
Dying for a drink 😅
@@richardreinhart5953 Wow never knew that! What we did was just using a checkerboard paper putting x:es were we didnt find anything and o:es were we found water etc. Igues most mustv done that as it applies to labyrinths and the likes as well, or maby just save often.
Pencil and paper. That's how I mapped that shit out.
"Have you previously played King's Quest V?" is literally burned into my brain decades later because of how many times I played this game
when I was a kid I tried for ages to figure out what got you past the wagon blocking the alley....until I finally read a strategy guide and found out you never could
Man. So glad you made this. It was such a great way to introduce my daughter to the games of my day.
Lmfao watching you try to click on the guy fixing the wheel, that is my exact memory of playing this game. Brutal
I remember the demo or shareware version of this came with an IBM Windows 3.1 PC Junior. That's right, this was BEFORE mainstream commercial internet and downloading free demos.
It was an awesome game as a kid therefore 10-15 years later when I saw the collection for Windows I just had to get it so I could finish playing KQV. Same for Police Quest and Leisure Suit Larry.
un jeu très bien construit sur des morceaux de contes célèbres, plein de féérie, il a bercé mon enfance à jamais
I still have this in big box from when I was a kid for PC. I don't remember the voice work though... Fun to watch some of the game though 🙂
I only got to the beach using an instruction manual and made no further progress. There are things that you can do in this game that make it impossible to progress any further but the game gives you no fair warning. For example, you can't eat the custard pie, you have to save it for the Yeti. If you go into the forest without the amulet or the genie lamp you can never get out. And if the cat catches the mouse then too bad, you should have been quicker. Yet the game lets you keep trying even though there is no hope. Otherwise the game was enjoyable, and the graphics were very good for the early 1990's.
Back when games were actually difficult...
So yeah 30 years later i finaly beat this damn game!!!!!
1:21:10 I shudder at what Mordack would have done to those guys if he walked in instead of Graham.
Someone came up with the idea of making Cedric the most annoying sidekick in videogame history, and whole bunch of other people said "yes, this is a great idea".
You take that back!
@@towncrier9944 i love cedric 😭😭
I remember renting this game for the NES. I didn't get very far, however. Kept dying in the desert.
Mark King no cheat? Lol
This was on the nes?
Yep. Developed by Konami
Discworld dude......tellin u
Were the Ants, The F*cking Ants! and we are coming to help King Graham!
These types of games are the best in all aspects
Town Theme! Town Theme! Town Theme!!!
But which is worse? This, or the theme of Berry Big Circus, from Phoenix Wright: Justice for All.
Love this game especially for nostalgic reasons, but man does it drive me crazy with all the dead ends!!
Sierra & LucasArts were my childhood. Games these days just aren't as good as back then. I mean just look at this art... Gorgeous, I think this level of pixel art rivals classic art, and should be regarded the same
"We're the ants; serving King Ant-ony. We're coming to help king Daddy." "Ahh Life giving water. nectar of the Gods. Daddy can now feel strength and renewal flowing through him" These are quotes I make out of now where to this day at my family from time to time and they have no idea what I am talking about. Love the memories. :)
Both of those are burned in my brain, more than anything else in this game
When you're 80 years old, your kids will think it's dementia.
So 2:25 is what was going on during the long AOL Dial-Up sound days.
So much thought and magic placed into this and the others.
If they are going to use a recording of an acoustic guitar, just have the singing tree holding a guitar!! Also, Alexander is drawn pretty buff when we see him at the end, yet, in KQ6, which takes places after this, he has trouble wielding a larger sword.
Bravi sir.
So cool to watch this!
The crux of this game is: Be nice to animals, a bully to gnomes and elfish folk, and if you randomly find something, it will be most certainly useful later.
I use to try to take the harp while Willow was holding on to it just to hear her say "Leave my harp alone... It's mine."
Man oh man, how I loved playing that goofy game....
A great game although the best was yet to come with number 6.
Graham does realize that his daughter would not be home without Alexander due to him turning Mannanan into a cat in 3.
So the king shouldn't be so hard on Alexander for this whole mess.
And Alexander should keep it in his pants around the Princess. Kind of a simp tbh
I loved playing this as a kid! This and Space Quest IV.
1:11:10 i screwed up at this part and gave the golden needle to the toy shop owner for the sled. now I can't get the cape.. doh!
I had the CGA version of this game. Didn't have voice acting, it had text boxes.
Having played the 2015 King's Quest, gives a bit more relevance as to a few things from the older games such as this one.
"Ahh life giving water! Nectar of the gods!"
I used to be terrified when he said he would feed the family to the cat. I was so in tune to not fail.
At 1:48:40 my brother and I would always make a save and walk of the cliff, killing Cedric. Our death was worth it to get some revenge against that annoying owl!!
My favorite part of this game was going through the snowy mountain
It was an epic change of scenery for sure! U could almost feel poor Graham freeze! 😄 👍
This was so next level after kings quest 4 and worth the wait but the puzzles in it you definitely got your money's worth
I Love King's Quest Forever
Death by custard pie.... Yeah. Never saw that coming.
And now king's quest 5 ending leads to the beginning of king's quest 6 with Prince Alexander
this is a joy to watch
The animation styles for Cedric in the opening scene are all over the place.
The Inn keeper and the Taylor had something going on
This game had a boot fetish
I noticed that too.
I hear Quentin Tarantino enjoyed playing it...
Graham considers talking to an owl normal.
1. Buys a custard pie
2. Immediately eats the custard pie
3. (much later in the game) Very confused as to why he can't get past the Yeti
That damn bees wax
I remember when this Game came out Everyone was Complaining about the Size of 15 MB LOL
today i got 1000 Mbit Internet Download Time 0,1 Second
Graham look out! A POISONOUS snake!!
_How dare you say that to me._
How the Inn keeper got the padlock locked from inside the cellar?
Magic hands
It still annoys me that you have to choose for either subtitles or voices, but not both.
If i remember correctly, scummvm gives you that option finally
I remember playing this game.
My pc was not good enough for this game, I had to go to my friends house to play just a little
Lol. The memories. I was the same with roller coaster tycoon
This series is so nostalgic since I played it with my family as a kid, but I don't know how we ever figured out half of the solutions. I think this might be the most unfairly difficult game in the series (aside from the Rumpelstiltskin puzzle in KQ1). One of the things that struck me on my current playthrough was: How would I ever know to try searching the haystack again after saving the ants? I already tried searching it earlier and there was no indication that there was something to find in there. The ants are at least a couple screens away and have no apparent correlation with the haystack.
I tried to play this back in the day - except I didn't have a sound blaster - I never even knew there was full audio.
the owl's voice....
Actually, Mannannan started the whole mess by kidnapping Alexander when he was an infant.
Right. If he didn’t want to do the cat time, he shouldn’t have done all those crimes.
Probably my favorite of the Kings Quest's. At least I-V, I never played 6 or 7
I have a lot of love for the 2015 installment, myself.
Try VI sometime. It's great!
@@daffers2345 I watched a play through of VI, it was pretty great. 7 however was atrocious
Ohhh, the explosion of memories from my childhood happening in my head right now!!
God, the HOURS I spent on this game.
I didn’t realize at the time just how hideous the voiceover work is! (I seem to recall reading somewhere that the developers didn’t have any money leftover in the budget to hire actual voice actors, so they had to do it themselves; is that right, does anyone know? Sure sounds like it! 😬)
honestly the voice acting isnt all that bad
To correct: Cedric's voice acting shouldent really be called voice acting! Esp when he says: "Watch out Graham! A POISONOUS SNAKE !!!" 😄 Other than that its kinda half decent.
I am currently playing this game. I always wanted it when I was a kid but by the time we got a VGA in 93, I was interested in other games at the time. Anyway,were there points in this game and where can you view them if there is? By the way I am using your walkthrough when I get stuck,thanks for posting this.
So I beat this game but was missing just 2 points?? Trying to find out what I missed
My Childhood Era
I never managed to move beyond the first few screens when I was a kid
Can someone give me a time stamp of “talking to yourself again, Graham?”
Hi! If you use an object unproperly, it may happen that you get stucked in the game and cannot advance? It happened to me with the golden heart and with the cat/rat issue!
the cat/rat issues seems to be a problem to me
I saw the cat catching the rat earlier when I first entered the scene after getting out of bakery, I didn't even had anything with me......now I am waiting for it to happen again
I used to play this all the time as a kid this one and one that I think it was called goblins quest
oh that cloak fits you perfectly!!
Can anyone tell me where I could still find these games to play? Kings Quest V and VII are my everything!!!
Love the art
@54:42 Man, I used an FAQ and it said "take the key from the lamp." Uhhh where who what why when? Oh it's THIS THING that I had no idea was a lamp. Great work game! Oh well, at least longplays saved me from getting STUCK. Thanks :)"
Remember doing Cedric impressions to tease my sister and stuff good times
1:21:25 why does the mouse biting the rope sound like fireworks?
12:52. Music to my ears xD
