Its not just the gameplay that makes these games memorable. People don't realize just how rare a game like this is these days. These games were awesome. There is nothing I can say that will help this games case other than random funniness at its finest. You play as an earthworm who just happens to be in possession of a super battle suit. You have in your possession an arsenal of crazy sounding, and looking weapons, and abilities. the gameplay is different from level to level, ranging from classic platformer, to sidescrolling shooter to...rescuing puppies from falling on the ground set to a familiar Italian medley tune?! this game is crazy. you gotta play this if you never have. It is unique.
I really cannot say more...give this game just 2 hours of your time and you will be hooked. You can be assured of this.
First let me tackle KQ7: The princeless Bride. the poor poor Royal family of daventry...why wont wizards, and other horrible plagues leave them alone? anyway This game is about Rosella; A young Princess who is Looking for her prince charming...Now where are you going sit back down! I know that its Cliche! bear with me here Rosella Is looking for a prince, and she sees A magical kingdom inside a pond somewhere...they are never too clear as to where. anyway Rosella's mother shows up and tells her that she has to become a responsible ruler to her people and blah blah blah. and quicker than you can say snow white Rosella gets into trouble. She falls into the pond and her mother follows her trying to find her. And from there you go through 7 chapters of mind bending hilarity. you enter a universe that almost resembles Toon Town in its execution. especially the town of fallderall. anyway there are seven chapters. each chapter you alternate playing as Rosella herself and as her mother. Hi jinks ensue, Some evil witch wants to rule the land, Rosella unites with her prince charming the mother and daughter find eachother and the Princess is happily married and they all live happily ever after...OR DO THEY?! play the game and find out....And now the second game. Mask of eternity. This game was totally different than all the other kings quest games. except for the fact that it still had the adventure puzzle solving element. you play as Prince charming and you are on a quest to save the land of Davenport...uh i mean Daventry and with your trusty sword by your side, and your hammer, and your rope and your grappling hook and your hundreds of potions and all your gold coins and your keys and rocks and miscellaneous crapola, you set out to get the pieces of the Deus Ex machina back together to restore peace to the entire land. oh, and there's also Experience points and a hackneyed RPG system in it too. This Game is AWESOME! how could you lose?! I honestly don' think either of these games are that bad. The stories are very Corny yes, but that's what is great about them. its the corny Storytelling that kept making me come back again and again to play these games. and if you like This sort of thing you will enjoy it too...when playing just be open minded and have a sense of humor and you will love any kings quest game you play.
Its not just because of the battle system that made this the best RTS ever made, but it was the story, and the fun factor. I swear i have put down Stracraft and gone back to this one.
They just dont make games like this anymore. I feel like Im the leader of a galactic civilization when i play this game. I send my powerful fleets across the galaxy as I wage war, Or use my diplomatic skills to bring my enemy to its knees. the second one was even better as there was not only a threat from fellow races, but from an extra-dimensional species that could not be reasoned with and wanted you and all other forms of life wiped out. Truly epic gaming form an age of gaming that has vanished to the simple, blah games they make today.
