It does promise a bright future for Sierra though and will greatly reward anyone who gets stuck in. Yes, in that technically it's the best adventure to be seen on the Amiga since The Secret Of Monkey Island, and no, unless the previous King's Quest stories appealed to your taste. But is it worth the money? Yes and no, really. The new system works fine, managing to incorporate all of the features of previous Sierra titles without losing the flow of the game. Plot-wise, it's pretty intelligent and the puzzle logic is well-balanced, allowing experienced adventurers to have a run for their money, while not putting the younger player off.

The only problem that the story has is its 'fairy tale' feel -not everyone is going to be turned on by magic owls and fairies at the bottom of the garden. Of course, that usually means the game itself suffers, but not so here.

Well, it certainly doesn't look like anything that's come before - the graphics and sound are nothing short of incredible. Forty pounds is a lot to ask for any game, so you'd expect the product to be something pretty special, doubly so when you consider King's Quest V comes straight from those American giants, Sierra On-Line. I SUPPOSE THE MOST important question that has to be asked is whether it's worth the money or not. All without the help of a chainsaw - I don't know, these modern heroes. Graham's task is to find out where his home is, why it was taken and whether or not his family are all right. While out on one of his morning constitutionals, an evil wizard by the name of Mordack saw fit to kidnap Graham's castle, with all of its contents, magically whisking it away to the far off land of Serenia.įortunately, this bothersome event was witnessed by one Cedric Owl, companion to Serenia's local good wizard, who informs Graham of what took place before flying him, once again magically, to his master's home. At least you are if you happen to be the good King Graham of Daventry. IF YOU GO DOWN TO the woods today, you're in for a big surprise.
