Why were the King's Quest games ever popular? They are absolutely awful.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 11 20:44:36 2022 No.9082474 >>9082362 They were cute. For the time the graphics were very good. The puzzles were simple, mostly. The jokes were funny, corny and mostly family friendly. When people were going apeshit over Myst, I was more disappointed, just Apple fan hype I guess.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 11 20:53:24 2022 No.9082485 I don't get it either. I grew up with them and always thought they were lazy. Like something a kid who couldn't program good would make.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 13 00:57:44 2022 No.9085814 They were a direct extension of old text adventure games. And Zork was one of the most popular, as well as being full of BS and cheap deaths. King's Quest was translating that experience into something a bit more visual.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 13 16:21:32 2022 No.9087319 They were technical showcases for their time, and gamers had different sensibilities back then. People didn't have backlogs and would stick with games if they got stuck for longer than 15 minutes.
