Nostalgia (but play remakes instead)

Great series, only problem I have with these, is like originally, there are dead ends. And text input, well, back when I played these, it wasn't really easy to find a solution or walkthrough. So it took a very long time to beat, and I don't think I ever beat 3. My suggestion now, go play the KQ AGD versions, they remade KQ VGA for 1 to 3, and they give you the options to not have dead ends. They were given permission and are legit versions for free. They look better, and are quite close to the originals, with no text inputs.

Great Classics!

These are great classic games. I played a lot of Sierra Quest games when I was a kid, but I missed Kings Quest 2 & 3 back then, so I got them on GOG and played through both games over the last weeks. It is a rough experience compared to modern games, but I was actually able to complete both games without using hints (didn't get all the points, though) and I had fun playing them. As long as you stay alert, examine everything, save often and keep your savegames around there is a good, classic gaming experience to be had here!

Historically invaluable

Originally developed to show off the IBM PC jr.'s abilities (a 1984 home computer), King's Quest I was the first adventure game to feature moving characters instead of static images. Yes, we may mock its graphics now, but this was cutting edge stuff at the time. As for the games themselves, it's hard for me to be impartial. It will no doubt frustrate players who are not used to this era of gaming (enjoy trying to communicate to the program what you thing those blobs of blocky pixels are!), but once you can get past that, there's plenty to enjoy. Think of it like a graphic novel where you have to use your imagination to fully realize the world the author created. Some of the puzzles are quite clever, but there are some that will certainly not be obvious. With all its flaws, it's still worthy of a 5 star rating, especially King's Quest III, which is one of my favorite games, even to this day.

An alright bundle with a glowing gem

While not the first adventure game by Sierra, the King's Quest games are definitely what put Sierra on the map. King's Quest I & II are nothing particularly special- in fact, they're barely even different games- but if you like way old-school games or are just interested in ancient history, they are worth your time. However, what really makes this bundle shine is King's Quest III: To Heir is Human. King's Quest III was notably poorly recieved for taking you out of the shoes of the now-familiar King Graham and into the lowly position of Gwydion, the slave-child (although the people who did beat it were gifted with a rather decent plot twist towards the end). However, it was very different from its predecessors in that it requires you to make spells to outwit your captor and hide items from him under your bed. You also have a time limit of about three-and-a-half hours to escape your captor (but I've managed to do it in just over 15 minutes). The spell making is somewhat weird however- first, in order to make the spells, you must read the barely legible print of the manual. Secondly, you must type in the commands EXACTLY how it says in the manual- which, again, is practically written in another language. And unfortunately, spell making takes up about half the game. Another strange quirk with this game is that sometimes, you just can't figure out how to talk to the computer. For example, if you wanted to put a bowl of cereal in a cup, you can't say, "pour cereal in cup" or "dump cereal in cup" or "dump/pour cereal". You'd have to say, "put bowl of cereal in cup". There are also free VGA remakes on the internet, however, I've never really liked them. So maybe you should skip the $6 and just get those. But despite some weird quirks in the games and aesthetics, this is something you should probably pick up during a sale for $2-$3. But maybe you should skip these and pick up the much superior KQ 4-6. All in all however, I do recommend these games just for KQ3.
