Let's Play King's Quest 6 - part 1 - Shipwreck

Although they met only once, Alexander is pining for Cassima and, after a little help from the magic mirror, he sets off to find her.

The Guidebook to the Land of the Green Isles can be downloaded from sierragamers.com, the official website of Ken and Roberta Williams: http://www.sierragamers.com/uploads/24082/The_Games/Kings_Quest_6_Manual.pdf It's a very interesting read, highly recommended.

The game music in this Let's Play was recorded using a Roland Sound Canvas SC-88.

Wow talk about a graphical update 0_0 that intro was pretty beautiful for 1993. and so far the voice acting is pretty good so far. There lucky to have that magic mirror, its helped them out quite a bit.

@damaster4u It helps that they had actual voice actors for this game, rather than random Sierra employees. For example, Alexander is voiced by Robbie Benson, who also voiced Beast in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. :)

Have you watched the Kings Quest 6 recut Machinima video, very funny.

[Dilandau3000]

@rl1712 Yep, only downside is, it makes it very hard not to snigger at certain parts of the game... "Good day, Merchant." "I am a shopkeep!"

YAY, finally got to KQ6. This was my first KQ game and still my fave in the series. Can't wait to see your entire LP of it. THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD! :D

@Nonamearisto

The 3-D spinning title was in the Windows intro. The AVI file is included on the same CD as this version here, but only accessed in Windows mode (just as with the hi-res character portraits and inventory items).

I completely agree with your assessment of the hi-res character portraits. I think everyone's skin is too pink in them, making it look like everyone has a sunburn. On the other hand, the low-res character portraits use a more natural looking skin color that matches the character sprites much better.

I agree i like the old adventure games more then new games.

By the way are you from the Nederlands

[mimkyodar]

That's not to say that good voice acting can save a bad game though. I still find Gabriel Knight 3 to be below average at best. Of course Tim Curry totally phones that one in.

Jane Jensen FTW!

This is an older version than any I've played. For instance, the screen announcing it is "King's Quest VI" in the intro was in 3D and spun "towards the audience."
