Three roses laid upon the bower, A scythe for he who cuts the flower, A crown, a dove, most noble race! Thy bones make sacred this dread place
The video game hero of my childhood, Prince Alexander of Daventry

Haven't drawn the screennamesake in a very long time. I was due.
King's Quest has the best funky little critters, from Rotten Tomato to Dangling Participle to cats that are actually evil wizards that ate porridge flavored with a cookie that turns them into a cat.

I'm hoping to be back soon with Quest for Glory! Once I start it.
In the meantime...
I'm replaying King's Quest VI and doing Science! By which I mean talking to everything under the sun and trying some other stuff, so here are some screencaps and a bit of commentary here and there, some genie and mint experimenting, and some beast curse testing.
The puns, oh the puns.
A personal favourite:
My too, my oyster friend, me too:
Hey, did you know you can give mint to the genie up on the cliffs of logic and if you do them early enough you can get the peppermint leaf and give it to him again at the Isle of the Beast? Fun times!
Yeah, maybe remember his weirdness, Alexander. Though, to be fair I reloaded to keep the peppermint leaf.
Have a couple more talk results:
If the brick was more constructive maybe I would have remembered to grab and wouldn't have had to go back for it. At least they give you time to prepare if you're missing something before throwing in the catacombs.
Ouch.
And finally, I found out that you can't turn into a beast on the first screen of the Isle of the Sacred Mountain. But as soon as you reach the top of the cliff the curse takes hold if you've waited long enough.
I'm still playing. There may or may not be another post for it depending on what else I find.

Alexander pulls out his magic map.
Replayed KQ6 again! There’s got to be more art of these guys in the world so I’m here to deliver.

Just learned that my favorite game series, 'King's Quest', was written by a woman, Roberta Williams, who actually founded Sierra Entertainment with her programmer husband, Ken.
Cool learning what pioneers they were in narrative video games. Roberta loved the fantasy genre, and as a child, used to tell stories to entertain her epileptic brother. After her husband sat her at the computer to play her first text based game called 'Colossal Cave', Roberta was hooked. In 1980, she and Ken then went on to create their first graphical text-based game, 'Mystery House' (which looks like it was drawn in MS Paint). 'Wizard and the Princess' came next, and four years later, 'King's Quest' was born: the first mainstream animated adventure game.
Sierra made 'Frogger' too!! My favorite arcade game at the animatronic kid's Birthday funhouse, Bullwinkles. And apparently also worked with Jim Henson to adapt 'The Dark Crystal' into a video game.
Roberta came out of retirement to create a remake of 'Colossal Cave', which I only just discovered, and it will be released in nine days!!!
I just finished King's Quest VI today, so I'm geeking out. Playing these games on my old Amiga back in the 90s - and my computer-savvy IT Father who set us up with them - is the reason I went into the computer industry. Heartwarming to read all the comments on Roberta and Ken's YouTube interviews and 2014 'Industry Icon' Game Award acceptance video who were just as captivated and who went on to create video games themselves.

Creature of Night, to me succumb! Fire and Brimstone leave thee numb. Purity bind thee like a chain. To do what e'er I now ordain!
