OK, so this game isn't like any of the sequels, but it is a fantastic game. I loved the entire journey, all the complex puzzles, and creatures that you met and the scenery was breath-taking. Sure, after several plays I realized a few weak plot points, but it was one of the games that I couldn't stop playing and it's also one of those games that you can play over and over and still enjoy it as much as the first time. This is by-far my favorite King's Quest game and it's a shame they aren't going to make anymore (last I heard). I especially enjoyed the hard fighting and complex puzzles of the "Dimension of Death" realm- which takes up most of your game play. I would say this is mostly a guy's game though, I doubt very many girls or women would like it because of all the fighting sequences. Diehard fans were upset because this was the first King's Quest to offer shoot-to-kill action, I didn't seem to mind it at all. I'm not a violent person; this game didn't make me a violent person. It's just a game and it's a very fun game!! NOTE: there are downloadable patches available that you need - especially for Win XP. Go to sierra.com and click on Community, then click King's Quest series and you'll find the patch information you need.

I hav been playing Sierra Adventure games for 18 years. I believe I have completed nearly all of their quests; kings quest to Space quest and police quest. All the games are unversial and great fun for the whole family, a rareity theses days. their is not a quest that sierra has produced that is not both great fun and challenging.

Overwhelmingly addictive

Once the game is loaded properly and Conner is underway you cant stop.Graphic design is totally different from the Disney World(not that I didnt enjoy Princess Bride)Mask of Eternity is a game that you must purchase and begin your quest.My mistake was installing on XP rather than having the game on 98.However it can be done on both.Purchase...Quest...ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

This is an awesome game. I can only think of a few flaws in the game it is so good. The level difficulty is slightly odd as the second world (The Dimension of Death) is the hardest part in the game. Overall it is a wonderful game set in the a wonderfully created fantasy world. I deffinately recommend it as a compelling and delightfully contrast RPG/Action game.

mask of eternit is an immersive and fun game

I was not a big KQ fan before playing this game, so I was not biased in wanting Sierra to produce a game which lived up to my expectations of what a KQ game should or should not be. I'm sure the old games are great, but it's only fair to let this game stand on its own merits.

This game has excellent graphics for its day, but to see it in all its glory on today's computers you may need to use a Glide Wrapper. This is a program which emulates 3dfx graphics. 3dfx used to be a competitor of nvidia, but went out of business and nvidia bought their technologies. Anyway, without the Glide Wrapper, I couldn't get the game to play in anything other than 640x480 resolution with no anti-aliasing. With the 3dfx emulation, it looks great.

The game's sound does a lot to make the game more immersive. The music is generally very ominous. Indoors, you will sometimes be treated to a nice accoustic guitar. This is the only game I've ever played where somebody sitting in an adjacent room actually commented on how nice the music was. So, two thumbs up in this department.

One of the impressive things about this game is how realistically the main character, Connor, moves. Even my 10 year old son who has grown up playing 3d games on PS2 was impressed by this. To me it is reminiscent of some of the Prince of Persia games and also Tomb Raider. Like these games, it can be a little challenging sometimes to get the character to do exactly what you want, but it's worth the effort.

Some people complain about the puzzles in this game being too easy. However, I would say that for me I don't like the continuity of a story to be interrupted by having to spend too much time solving a puzzle, and I hate it when I have to resort to reading somebody else's walkthrough or hints. I know this is a personal preference type of thing.

Where I would have to agree the game may suffer a bit is plot. It's just not a plot-oriented game. Also, there aren't very many NPC's (non player characters) to interact with as most of the people in Daventry have turned to stone. However, there are other games out there that have been very successful even with very limited NPC's. Myst comes to mind. Of course, one of the things that made Myst interesting is that not only do you have to solve the puzzles, but the story is very interesting and mysterious as well. The story behind Mask of Eternity is perhaps a bit too simplistic.

Did this game kill the KQ series? Maybe. On the other hand, maybe living in the shadows of the previous games prevented Mask of Eternity from being more popular. Who knows? Oh, well. All good things must come to an end. Of course, I understand there is a group of fans working on a freeward KQ9, so maybe the series will live on after all.

OH YAH BABY! BEST PC GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!

When I was 9 I went to a sleep away summer camp for the first time ever. While I was there I got a letter from my mom saying that she had bought a new game. This gave me the insentive to get through the week. When I got home my BEST friend ever and I played this game all the time! We ADORED it. Of course, we never got passed the third area before she moved away from me but I kept the game until recently.

Ever since then this game has been a token of great memories. I believe that it is the best game I have ever played (and I have played many games). I LOVE Kings Quest Mask of Eternity!

I was playing Kings Quest long before I played Diablo I, II and expansion. Dieblo is kill, kill, kill or be killed there is no puzzles to solve or quests to under take that takes a little brain power. You just have to find the golden trunk and open it.

In Kings Quest 8 you cannot go to the second land without acheving or solving a puzzle. Each quest has some type of puzzle or manuvers to gain access to it. In the first land you must find the three things so that the wizard can make you a potion to kill the one that is blocking your way.

I think this game is great it takes some thought to accomplish each quest. Myself and my three grandsons have worn the cd out and I am searching for one, to play on my new that they are giving me for Father's Day.

im a smart kid so i dont find the puzzles all that hard and i like the combat. my fave place is either dimension of death or realm of the sun(i like mazes)tho to get the hammer thingy in the dimension oif death i just charge right through the ghosts with a shield potion which cuts my dimension time in about half since i dunt have to do the whole dying heart thing.the combats excellent tho on big fights like the one at the bridge of life i die easy so i use god mode(superconnor!) overall, its one of my favorite RPGs.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
