Disappointing. I remember playing this when it first came out. Now, I cannot save a game anywhere...something is wrong.

I was a huge fan of Kings Quest, and getting this for Christmas was so excitting, even though we could only get KQ7 to work, because it was my favorite. Then I got to chapter 6 and keep dying from a firecracker and can't finish the game. No support, no answers as to why. I really hoped this would be a ton of fun, but I'm running into nothing more than walls now.

Not worth the trouble

I was so excited when I saw this... I used to love playing the King's Quest games back in the day, especially the ones with Rosella. So I was quite disappointed when I received this and some of the games didn't work, and one I actually started to play and it stopped me in the middle and asked for a password I didn't have because the game didn't come with a manual. One of the games loaded fine, but when I tried to manuever it wouldn't do anything, and when I tried to exit, it wouldn't close and I had to shut down the whole computer. So all in all, I am extremely disappointed with this game, especially since I mainly bought it for the Perils of Rosella and that is one of the ones that didn't work!

Great Retro RPG typing game collection

King's Quest is just one of those nostalgic early RPG games from the late 80's and early 90's that is fun to mess around with. Hard to beat if you've never played before, easy once you have, and just fun to mess around with, these games are timeless classics that will give many hours of fun.

The Game in itself is really fun and I love the theme but the graphics for the first three/four games are unbelievable terrible. You would be better off downloading the earlier games off of the internet from someone who remade them. However, the games with good graphics are excellent and my favorite games I own!

again, terrible graphics

I purchased Space Quest, Kings Quest and Leisure Suit Larry for the husband. Like the others, Kings Quest was not enhanced in any way which is a shame. With all the technology today they could have done a little enhancement. In any event, the graphics look terrible on larger monitors and is simply not worth the money. Think twice before buying the game, if you don't mind very poor graphics (which by the way makes it difficult to play)then go for it.

Some of the games didn't work.

The fourth game did not work. It kept asking me for words in the text of a game handbook that didn't come with the software. The Seventh game did not work. It kept telling me I didn't have 256 colors (which I do have) so it could not play the game.

The rest of the games work.

Thank you for making this work for Windows.

Although I agree that the packaging is pretty bad and you have to print the manual which is pretty tacky, all the games I used to play are included and work fine with Windows. Great price! great games! I used to play King's Quest when it first came out and I'm still a huge fan of the series. Thanks for making is Windows compatible Sierra!

I ordered this game because me, my brother, and my father used to play two of the games when I was young. Being able to play the games again brought back so many memories. Easy to download and very inexpensive!

KQ compilation vs. KQIX

"I am very saddened that the members of the former FAN-GAME King's Quest IX, are taking out their frustrations on this forum instead of dealing with the company itself." I just want to point out that the Unofficial KQIX TEAM is NOT taking their frustrations out on Vivendi. Many of the fans are upset that the game has been shut down, and quite a few of them are threatening to boycott Vivendi. I, myself, am a fan and, while I'm upset, I understand that VU was protecting themselves as a company. Will I buy the compilation? I don't know. I'm a graduate student with limited funds...plus, I don't want to buy it unless I know KQV and VI will work without DosBox (I STILL haven't figured out how to get it to work...)
