King's Quest: The Vibrant Return of a Beloved Series

Many games have aimed for a "bedtime story" vibe, but few capture the charm of a tall tale as told to a youngster by an adult she looks up to. The remainder of the jokes established Graham as an underdog. He arrived at a festival where he hoped to prove his heroism by becoming a knight, only to discover that the bridge leading to his destination was out. Solving each puzzle in this area would seem to lead Graham across the chasm--toppling a tree or creating a rope swing, for example--but instead, his fellow contestants would take advantage of his ingenuity and beat him to the punch. And finally, when Graham found his way by crafting a makeshift raft, another hopeful knight still proved quicker. Each event was funnier than the last, but as a whole, they were heartbreaking: Graham had yet to catch a break. He was living out a classic hero's tale, the kind that establishes the hero as down on his luck before allowing him to blossom. "Classic" describes King's Quest on the whole, actually, though you shouldn't assume that Korba and company are just trying to copy the old games and hoping we won't notice. Says Korba, "I look at this the way they redo The Wizard of Oz, or Peter Pan. It's this cherished, loving thing, and this is our take on it. We're not throwing out the canon that they already established. We're fitting our stories between those, or taking bits of those and reimagining parts of it." With luck, a new generation can venture to lands in 2015 that captured this old heart so many years ago.
