''King's Quest: Mask of Eternity'' is the eighth and so far last official game in the ''[[King's Quest (Video Game)|King's Quest]]'' series. It was a notable departure from the previous [[Adventure Game]] format, and included fewer puzzles and more hack-and-slash action elements. It was also the franchise's first attempt at a 3D game. While it was moderately well-received in its time, it effectively killed the franchise-- although to be fair, the crash of the adventure game industry might have had something to do with that, as well. Roberta Williams, creator and chief designer of the ''King's Quest'' series, was dissatisfied with the hack-and-slash elements, feeling they had been forced into the game; she left [[Sierra]] shortly after the completion of development.
 
This is the first game where you play as someone other than a member of the Daventry royal family. You are Conner, a young tanner who has a date with destiny. A piece of a mystical artifact called the Mask of Eternity falls at Connor's feet; at the same time, the entire kingdom of Daventry is turned to stone. To save the country, Connor must find all the pieces of the broken Mask and restore them to the Realm of Sun, all while slicing his way through enemies.
Line 11:
* [[AI Breaker]]: If you shoot at the [[Dem Bones|skeleton archers]] from far enough away, they will never shoot back (although they ''will'' shout insults at you!).
* [[Animated Armor]]: The Henchmen.
* [[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti]]: Whole packs of yetis will attack you in the Frozen Reaches. [[All There in the Manual|According to the manual]] they're actually "snow demons".
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Connor.
* [[The Chosen One]]: Connor.
Line 31:
* [[Nostalgia Level]]: Castle Daventry. It's less colorful than last time around, though.
* [[No, You]]: Connor's standard reply to death threats is "Not I, YOU!" He does not excel at [[You Fight Like a Cow|combat banter]].
* [[Our Demons Are Different]]: There are four kinds of demons: rock demons, pyro demons, [[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti|snow demons]], and shadow demons.
* [[Our Goblins Are Different]]: The boar-like goblins.
* [[Our Orcs Are Different]]: The ice orcs.
