King Graham redesign (by me) 👑

Zounds! Tis the King of Daventry, after all these years!

A portrait of King Graham for the 40th anniversary of the King’s Quest adventure game series❤️🩵 It is my favorite video game franchise and every so often, I return to it. I have such fond memories playing them as a child as well—I was fortunate enough to have an older cousin who introduced my brother and I to them. Some of you may remember the 2015 reimagining, but I grew up with the original 80s-90s games.

For those who don’t know, King’s Quest is a fantasy adventure series that follows the Royal Family in the Kingdom of Daventry. The first game sees the heroic Knight Graham inherit the throne, and in the last (which I actually haven’t finished playing) the mantle passed to another knight. Every member of the family takes the spotlight at least once - though Graham, being the one who started it all, puts on his adventurer’s cap most often.

Though my favorite game is actually the AGD fan remake of King’s Quest 2 (and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone, fan or otherwise,) my favorite official installment is King’s Quest 5. This is largely because Graham is my favorite character, but also I have the most memories of playing this game, along with KQ6 (which is arguably the best in the franchise, with Prince Alexander as the protagonist.)

TL;DR - I wanted to draw something to honor both this anniversary and a fond piece of my childhood, so here’s the good King Graham👑

Any other KQ fans out there? Let me know! Maybe I’ll do more art in the future…only time will tell!

King’s Quest

King's Quest V piece for the @ninjapetalzines Danny Avidan themed zine!~

Sierra point+click adventure games are so fun and punny and nostalgic. I love how this piece turned out. The magical music notes are from NSP's Dragon Slayer cause that seemed on brand.

Happy 40th birthday to Kings Quest! All credit to cover images to people at MobyGames.

Notes and observations:

Original Kings Quest indeed does have 4 different covers, one being a release for the Sega's Master System. The other Kings Quest 1 after the 4th game is a remake made in SCI engine.

Kings Quest 5 also had a NES version, which I've excluded from this as the cover is the same as the second computer release.

King Graham's Board Games is part of a Crazy Nicks Software Picks, which is a series of minigames taken from various Sierra titles. Here the titular board games aren't actually from any Kings Quest game, but rather they're taken from Sierra's Hoyle Official Book of Games Volume 3. This also appears in some of the collections.

The first two collection releases are the same, they just have different covers.

I was originally gonna write how the second collection doesn't include the original Kings Quest in favor of the remake, but it does! Its just not specifically mentioned on the box. It also includes 3 other Roberta Williams games and 4 pre-KQ games running on Apple 2 emulator.

I've excluded the Roberta Williams Anthology from this as its not directly Kings Quest related. Its mostly the same as the second collection, with few other extras and the Apple 2 version of Dark Crystal.

The Windows XP collection curiously lacks the original Kings Quest game, sticking with just the remake; This for some reason was common with all the Sierra collections at the time. It also lacks Mask of Eternity, which was hard to get run properly at the time (and still might be, haven't checked in a while.)

The last game was released in 5 separate episodes along with an epilogue. Here I'll just go with the complete release.
