We take a deep dive into the King's Quest series. 

Please join us and play a few games in the series. 

Rob recommends trying to play King's Quest 1. If it's a bit too primitive for you, Try King's Quest 6. If that is still not to your liking, please try the King's Quest from 2015. If you go that route, please at least watch a few walkthrough videos of 1,3 and 4 before playing. It will really add to the story.

You can purchase the older games in bulk for really cheap. There are updated VGA and SVGA versions in this collection.

The 2015 King's quest is also really cheap and just a fantastic game.

There are also free remakes by ADG of the original games that are free and make it really easy to install and play on modern computers.
