Description
Kyrandia is a land of dark, mysterious forests, and sleeping dragons. A fantastic land where rubies grow on trees and magic abounds. Who would imagine that a land so idyllic would spawn a murderer so demented? Some say that the court jester, Malcolm, was mad to begin with. Others whisper in sly, conspiratorial tones that it was his burning desire to possess the precious Kyragem that slowly drove him to slay the peaceful King William.

As the rightful prince of Kyrandia, you must pursue the elusive Malcolm to recover the powerful gemstone. Only then will you be able to reclaim the throne and restore harmony to the land of Kyrandia. The Legend of Kyrandia awaits you!
  • A true classic - this forgotten gem from the early 90s is a must-have for every adventure game fan!
  • Four chapters of progressively more challenging quests that will have you casting spells, searching strangely-lit caverns, collecting gemstones, and chasing down leprechauns.
  • Bewitching scenery, smartly written dialogues, and atmospheric music will make your visit to Kyrandia unforgettable.

Good, old fashion, but hard

I love this kind of adventures, but without walkthough, I hardly believe I would ever finish that...

It's... Just okay.

I never played this series growing up. My adventure game memories all come from Kings Quest. So there's no nostalgia to bias my review. The artwork and music are superb. The music especially sounds incredible if you have a Roland MT-32 (or compatible sound generators). Interface is smooth and I didn't run into any game-breaking bugs. This package comes with ScummVM and it runs fantastic. I actually prefer ScummVM's MIDI implementation - bravo team! It handles the MT-32 patch bank loading just fine and unlike DOSBox, I don't have to slow down the CPU to prevent the unit from being overwhelmed. The game itself is your typical adventure game fanfare. I think my biggest complaint is the puzzles. They're even more nonsensical than some of the stuff I'm used to in King's Quest (if you can believe it). Quite a few times I had to consult a walkthrough and then was left frustrated as all hell. The phrase "oh that's ridiculous - how was I to ever think of THAT" was a common utterance of mine as I soldiered on through the game. For the sale price of $1.49, I cannot complain. Beware that most glowing reviews are probably from people who grew up with the game and are happy to replay it. If you've never played it as a youth, then you'll probably be wondering what all the fuss is about. TLDR - superb presentation (sans voice acting) that's marred by its badly-aged gameplay.
