Some portions of the game also include environmental hazards the protagonist has to avoid, or jumping puzzles reminiscent of platform games. It doesn't entirely depart from its adventure roots, however, featuring commands for looking, talking to people, picking up objects, and using them to solve inventory-based puzzles.Ĭonnor may encounter hostile creatures and can fight them using his melee weapons or bow. Gameplay-wise, it differs from its predecessors by introducing considerable action and role-playing elements. King's Quest: Mask of Eternity is the eighth installment in the King's Quest series, and the first one done completely in 3D. He must now search for the other pieces of the Mask, repair it, and face Lucreto in the Realm of Sun. As he picks up the fragment, he finds out that all the inhabitants of the land have been turned into stone. One of such pieces falls down, right under the feet of a simple peasant and fighter named Connor. But on an ominous day, Lucreto, the leader of the Archons, turns evil and shatters the Mask into pieces.


Powerful beings known as Archons dwell there, guarding the Mask of Eternity, which preserves balance in the world. The CD-ROM version of the game includes both DOS and Windows versions, full speech, a pre-rendered introduction, and the Girl in the Tower theme song.The Realm of Sun is a magical world situated above the Kingdom of Daventry. Like the previous game, actions are performed using a point-and-click interface with icons that represent verbs ("walk", "examine", "use", "talk", etc.). Puzzles are solved linearly, although late in the game there are two completely different paths to take to reach the final confrontation. Alexander must be careful as well, because, as with all the King's Quest games, poor choices or missteps will often prove fatal for the Prince. For Alexander to save the Isles, he must travel between the Land's four magical islands, each based on myth and fables, and encounter people and strange beasts that will either help or hinder him.

Like its predecessors in the series, King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow is a third-person puzzle-solving adventure game. His troubles are far from over, however, as he soon finds out that the King and Queen have passed away, the Greens Isles are on the brink of war, and his beloved Princess Cassima may even be held prisoner by the royal vizier. After months of searching he finally sets sight upon the island kingdom, only for a freak storm to strike the ship, destroying it and leaving him the only survivor. Eventually he can take it no longer, and he hires a ship to search for the Land of the Green Isles located on the edge of the world.

For months Prince Alexander of Daventry has shut himself away from the world, thinking only of Princess Cassima, who he met while imprisoned in the previous game.
