I had fun with it, but I didn't know what to do, so I gave up. Several years later when I was in 12th grade, I went over to my neighbor's house to do a project for school, and I saw that he had the CD version of King's Quest V. I borrowed it, and I really enjoyed it, especially since I had a walkthrough handy to help me out. When I finished it, I got the King's Quest Collection Pack 2 because I wanted to play the other games as well.

I liked the different characters from King's Quest V. I still think of some of the dialogues. The one that I remember frequently is the part when Graham enters the bakehouse and a woman named Amanda is talking to the baker. I thought the conversation was kinda cute. I especially liked the part where she said,"Austin, please keep your fingers out of that pie!"

I liked King's Quest VII because it was like a funny cartoon. I like the part where Rosella drinks the potion that makes her do all these funny motions. When I first saw the game at this place called Computer City, which had a big selection of games, I imagined it having a split screen with Rosella on top and Valanice on the bottom, and that you could control them simultaneously.

What I liked about King's Quest VI was the voice acting. I thought it was really well done. I liked the black widow because she always said the opposite of what she really meant. My favorite part is when Alexander plays the flute for all the plants in the Isle of Wonder. I thought the tune was kinda catchy. The tune that he also plays in the Realm of the Dead was good too. I liked the dancing skeletons. They were good.

I liked King's Quest IV where I could "slip into the soft slippers of Rosella" (I'm sure I read that somewhere, maybe it was in the manual that came with the King's Quest Collection 2). I liked the idea of controlling a female instead of the more dominant male for a change. One part that I thought was well done was the part where Rosella is inside the dwarves' house, and all you had to do was type in "sweep" or "clean" and she does it at a smooth pace. I also enjoyed her organ playing.

I think Lolotte was a great villain in this game. She was really evil, and it really shows when she orders Rosella to fetch her Pandora's box. She was also nice in a way when it came to pleasing her "son" Edgar. Whenever she said how fond he was of Rosella, he would always turn red.

The remakes of the first three games were well done. I enjoyed them all. I think King's Quest II+ did a great job of enhancing the original King's Quest II storyline. I've also enjoyed playing the first three episodes of TSL. I'm looking forward to playing AGDI's King's Quest III Redux as well as IA's King's Quest Kingdom of Sorrow whenever it's released, and Magic Mirror Games' King's Quest IV remake whenever it's released.

I've been told that the mother and child in the bakehouse in KQ5 were actually the winners of a contest in Sierra's official magazine, InterAction. The grand prize was to appear in a cameo in KQ5. This is the logic behind those two otherwise pointless characters.
