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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

not capatible with SP2

I love adventure games and own all the originals from Sierra and LucasArts. But alot of them don't run under XP, so I was really glad to see this title in the store. But it only runs on my XP Service Pack 1 computer, which is six yrs. old and only used for the Internet. Why was it only made for SP1? Usually I have a hard time getting stuff to run on SP1 because its made for SP2. I have a SP1 computer, a SP2 computer and a Vista computer, and they're like three different operating systems. Maybe next time, I'll buy a Mac...

WONDERFUL

I grew up playing King's Quest and this game has brought back so many wonderful memories. It works great on my computer and the manual comes on the CD that can easily be printed out. The graphics worked great on my computer and I have had no problems so far. I have played games 1-4, and am on game 5 right now. I highly recommend this product

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!

The Kings Quest series for XP lives up to its repution along with its origional renditions of this series. I found no problems with the graphics or sound and no gliches in the programing. I have had no problems with the game crashing or with the game play in any way. I have enjoyed it so much and can honestly recomend this wonderful adventure game series to any who have played the KQs in the past or those who have not played it before. I am so glad they produced the update for XP so I can continue to play this series. L.Mellinger

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.
