King's Quest, also known as King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown, is the first game in the King's Quest series.
Story
Sir Graham is chosen to find the three treasures of Daventry. Once he finds them, he shall become king.
Development
King's Quest was the first game to use Sierra's AGI engine. This allowed the player to move the character throughout a scene and combined a text parser for actions, which was groundbreaking at the time.
Versions
King's Quest was released in 1983 as a keyboard controlled graphical adventure game with a text parser using Sierra's AGI engine.
In 1990, Roberta Williams' King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown was released. This was an enhanced remake which was a point-and-click adventure game with 256 color VGA graphics using Sierra's SCI engine.
In 2001, AGD Interactive released an unofficial fan-made enhanced remake of King's Quest, developed using Adventure Game Studio.
