'''''King's Quest: Quest for the Crown''''' (originally simply "King's Quest") is the first game in the long-running ''[[King's Quest]]'' series. It was released in 1984 and had a huge impact on the world of gaming: It was the first animated computer game (the earliest ones simply had static images), it cemented [[Sierra]] as the premier maker of [[Adventure Game|Adventure Games]] in the '80s, and it helped popularize the adventure game genre and many of the tropes associated with it (for better or for worse).
[[Excuse Plot|The plot is simple]]. You are Graham, a knight in the realm of Daventry. Your king has tasked you with finding Daventry's three lost treasures: A magic shield that protects the kingdom from war; a magic mirror that can see the future; and a magic treasure chest that magically replenishes itself. To find these treasures, Graham must explore the kingdom and solve puzzles. Oh, and [[It's a Wonderful Failure|avoid]] [[The Many Deaths of You|random]] [[Yet Another Stupid Death|deaths]] -- that's important, too.
Line 8:
The game is best known for its [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]] setting, limited graphics and interface (blocky 8-bit characters and [[Text Parser]]), often exasperating puzzles, random deaths and [[Unwinnable]] situations (though the fan remake has a "no unwinnable situations" mode). It has been remade with better graphics twice, once by Sierra itself, and once by fans.
