King's Quest VII/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • All Animation Is Disney: Despite being 2-D animated, the game itself has been bashed on by gamers as well as the reviewers for criticizing it for its art style mimicking Disney. It seems to be heading towards Don Bluth and Richard Rich's work.
  • Contested Sequel: Nowhere near as much as the universally-reviled King's Quest: Mask of Eternity, but it still has a large number of detractors who don't like, among other things, the changes made to the King's Quest (and early-to-mid Sierra adventure games in general) formula, like the lack of Have a Nice Death, a point system, and the addition of chapters, which can be played out of order.
  • Ear Worm: The gravedigger's theme.
  • Most Annoying Sound: If you have to deal with the technological problem that causes the firecracker in Chapter 5 to explode every few seconds, the explosion sound effect can get very irritating very quickly.
  • Retroactive Recognition: David Gilbert, a comic strip cartoonist, worked as a key animator on the game as part of the Animotion staff in Syracuse.
