King's Quest I: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]: Generally yes, with a notable subversion at one point

* [[Last Lousy Point]]: Several, such as eating the candy house; bowing to the king, giving the bowl to the poor couple after saying the magic word, etc.

* [[Luck Based Mission]]: Somewhat, in that the game has random encounters with several nasty monsters, albeit always in the same room. This feature is notably absent in pretty much all later graphic adventure games.

* [[Luck-Based Mission]]: Somewhat, in that the game has random encounters with several nasty monsters, albeit always in the same room. This feature is notably absent in pretty much all later graphic adventure games.

* [[Magic Mirror]]: The magic Mirror, one of the Three Treasures of Daventry. It foretells that you shall win the game.

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The beanstalk (in the original EGA version, that is). And some of the puzzles as well.

Line 29:

* [[Sequel Hook]]: In the epilogue, it's mentioned that King Graham looks into the magic mirror and sees his descendants [[Turn Out Like His Father|having many more adventures]]...

* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Not killing some of the monsters (and resorting to trickery instead) gets you more points, but isn't required to win the game.

* [[Unwinnable By Design]]: You need all three treasures to win the game. There's a dwarf that goes around stealing your things. [[Luck Based Mission|He appears randomly and is difficult to evade.]] If you have any of the Three Treasures on you when he shows up, he steals them. ''And you can never get them back.'' Have fun playing the rest of the game!

** The dwarf appears at random ''times'' but always in the same two ''screens''.

** Earlier versions of the game allow you to drop things from your inventory, ''including'' those three treasures. Whatever you drop is [[Lost Forever]]. Ironically, you can drop the treasures between the moment that the game checks for them to get to the endgame, and the actual endgame.

Line 35:

** It does help you keep from getting caught by the witch.

* [[Video Game Remake]]: It has both an official one and a fan one, which is available for free online.

* [[Zillion Dollar Bill]]: The bottomless gold chest, [[What Happened to The Mouse?|never seen nor referred to again]].

* [[Zillion-Dollar Bill]]: The bottomless gold chest, [[What Happened to The Mouse?|never seen nor referred to again]].

** Alexander is given a hefty sum of money from this in ''[[King's Quest VI Heir Today Gone Tomorrow (Video Game)|King's Quest VI Heir Today Gone Tomorrow]]''. Due to Shipwreck, he's left with just [[Bag of Spilling|one]] at the start of the game. The description of the coin does say it comes from the chest, though.

** Coins from the chest also appear in ''[[King's Quest II Romancing the Throne (Video Game)|King's Quest II]] [[Video Game Remake|+]]''.
