Amiga Longplay [298] King's Quest IV - The Perils Of Rosella

http://www.recordedamigagames.org

Played By: Laffer

Longplay of the Amiga version of Kings Quest IV. I accelerated the emulation to prevent any big slowdowns.

I'm sorry this took so long to make but I had to finish pretty much the entire game four times due to a very annoying bug and some other issues!

Wow, they don't make games like this anymore. I always wondered what was so good about KQ games and after watching this longplay I know. This game has magic in it(and awful walking on the stairs it seems).

Good job, love those sierra games

By the way, the music and sounds on this version are wonderful! Thanks for posting!

Absolutely loved the unicorn. Next to KQ6, this was my favorite followed by 8.

@Subatomic1000 I see what you mean. Awful lewd of them to do that right in front of Rosella.

Talk to dward. lol Anyhow, thanks for posting this video. It's really cool. I can watch this one clip as opposed to watching the same thing on 6 different clips. It's a time saver. :)

@monkeyislandclub Uh, The music is FAR inferior to the PC version (excluding pc speaker). This was a lame port, and didn't even come close to taking advantage of the Amiga's hardware.

Everytime one of the dwarfs goes in front of the fireplace...lol

At the same time, this was also when home computer games were still a novelty. Most didn't (and for that matter still don't) play to hear a good story, they wanted to figure out the puzzles. There are games "Like that" still these days; most of them exist as online flash games found all around the web and can still be quite fun.

I am nostalgic for these games, too, but to be honest, I think the stories were pretty thin and the puzzles nonsensical and/or arbitrary. They don't make games "like these" anymore, but the adventure game is not quite dead yet. Games like Grim Fandango, Indigo Prophecy and Longest Journey (the last adventure games I played) had real stories and character development (though aimed at an older demographic than the fairy tale thing).

Google ""death of adventure games" for a fun article on this.

You should check out KQ6, it's the greatest of them all, I believe this one (KQ4) follows close behind it as well.

And your right, unfortunately they don't make games like this anymore, because unfortunately kids seem to think blowing things up and blood spatter are just so much more interesting than well thought out stories and puzzles. They don't know what they're missing.
