I recently purchased King Quest and Space Quest collections from GOG.

I didn't have a CD ROM drive as a kid so I only got to play The disc version. Hearing the voices is so much better than I expected.

I used to play Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder at my dads house all the time so I really get emotional over it :)

Yeah, IMO the two best Kings Quests were 3 and 6. Both with Prince Alexander/Gwydion.

King's Quest 5 with King Graham was also pretty good.

The one with Princess Rosella was probably my least favorite.

I never finished the latest one that came out a few years ago.

I agree though I remember loving the art style and the voice work for 7 since it reminded me so much of Disney; but I was about 13 or 14 when it came out.

Except for the darned jackalope.

I didn't actually have 6 but I played it a lot at my dads friends house when we visited but it was one of my faves.

The new one on Steam is actually pretty goods though. I just discovered it a couple months ago.

I never played 7 because it only came on CD. Our computer wasn't good enough for it growing up.

Years later I did try 8....it wasn't to my liking.
