Third Person

Note: The following was written in 1988...

"Be prepared for a spectacular adventure, three times larger than any previous Sierra adventure, a landmark in a computer gaming that transcends existing standard of computer graphics, sound and animation.

"Powerfully dramatic, King's Quest IV evokes like no other computer game with a unique combination of lifelike animated personalities, beautiful landscapes, and soul-stirring music... Your quest begins with a full length cartoon and proceeds to plunge you into a fantasy world of mystery, intrigue and enough plot twists to confound even the most dedicated adventurer. Embark upon a perilous journey into the darkest corners of the King's Quest universe.

"Not one, but many successful quests must be completed to save the royal family from a tragic destiny. With a surprise introduction and an equally unexpected conclusion, plot twists abound as you strive to discover the mysteries of a strange land, overcome its hostile inhabitants, and reveal the secrets hidden therein. Roam the grounds at night and discover areas which remain hidden during daylight hours. Travel swiftly, as time is of the essence, and each moment brings the royal family closer to ruin." - Box blurb
