But where does one get a game that old, anyway? I might wait until the remake comes out. I can type well enough... but I'm so lazy. Gotta love that mouse interface.

Well, I got the King's Quest Collection off of eBay. That includes all of the KQ games (MoE is not included). You might be able to get the individual game, but not sure if it will work on the new computers.

I always wanted the collection, but I never had the money and my dad was never in his office long enough to merit THAT.

My best friend used to have it. I wonder if he still does. We played the others together all the time, but he probably wouldn't like to play 3 with me. He's a control freak, but he can't type like I can. We played 4 together, and it was like pulling teeth getting him to give me the keyboard.

That's why I think it might be safer if we wait for the remake. I don't mind letting him keep his hand on the mouse; it makes him feel all important. Gotta indulge 'im.

Actually, my first King's Quest ever was 5. I was over at a friend's house. And there was this tree with a harp and she was really a princess. I really wanted to make her a princess again, and then my friend said you had to get her heart from the forest and I went to the forest but kept getting killed by the witch. And I was sad. And then I went home and didn't play it again until I bought it myself years later, after I'd already played 7.

Cool story! And it's nice that you catch yourself going off topic. Like many of us, I may post one or two posts off topic before catching myself ;]. And you indulge your best friend :) I agree...you have to make those guys feel important ;)

My first KQ game was KQ5, when I was 15. I know most of you started playing when you were younger, but I barely remember an old computer my parents had when I was a little kid, we got rid of it becasue we couldn't really do much with it. Then when I was 15 computers were all the rage, and my rents got one, but did not connect to the internet yet. I was in the mall in the store formerly called Babbages, and I saw King's Quest V for sale and really liked the look of it, so I got it. The puzzles kept me stumped for years. Guess I should have made some maps, especially of the desert. Later on I got KQ7, I loved it, such beautiful graphics, and I finished both games after getting hints online. Then...I got MOE and the KQ collection.

My first and fav. was KQ7 I started playing it when I was around five.
My dad loved Sierra games and had all the police quest, all the quest for glory's and all the Leisure Suit Larry's, all the Space Quests , all the conquests, all teh Laura Bow's, all the Kings Quest's and one gabriel knight, and many more. I grew up with Sierra games and my first and favourite chapter is two, in KQ7. I really loved Kings Quests and since have discovered several sites that are trying to keep the sierra spirit alive.

The first ever KQ game we had was KQIII; unfortunately we never got the manual so we never solved it either. I was very young back then; I used to love Mannannan (except when he killed poor Gwydion, whom we referred to as Larry at the time, since he looked just like him).

Then came KQIV. Oh, the horror! The giant dragging away Rosella by her braids gave me the screaming heebie-jeebies at my age (as did every other death scene in a Sierra game; scarred me for life).

KQV, at my age and with my trauma, was pure horror all over. Graham getting frogged, the desert, Mordack.... sleepless nights all over, baby.

KQVI wasn't a walk in the park for me either. The Underworld scenes alone scared the daylights out of me.

We later completed our collection with the KQ Collection (I-VI). At the time, I was horrified at my father buying something like that. My sister got to the Lord of the Dead in KQVI at one point... and horrifically enough, she found the death scene of getting touched by him hilarious. Geh.

Later, I got over my trauma for the most part, and decided the games weren't all that bad, and actually quite enjoyable. The aforementioned KQVI scene still gives me the creeps though.

KQVII I bought myself later on, and I enjoyed it greatly.

Being an avid action gamer as well, I even got KQVIII and even enjoyed that one, despite it not being worthy of the name.

Then a few years ago I even got KQIIVGA. Excellente!

And that brings us to the present, where I have gotten a part in KQIX. Funny how things turn out sometimes, eh?

KQ2 was my first...I'll never forget it also.  ;D

I remember before even playing the game reading the very creative manual that came with it that explained the story. That story got me hooked...and I've been an adventure game and role playing game fanatic ever since. Anything that is story based, or has lore, I will play just for that. I can honestly say it was because of the King's Quest series. And that was 20 years ago! That makes this latest release that much better.  :)
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

The ones that I really remember my parents playing with me watching are 2, 1, 5, and 6. I remember BEGGING my dad and mom to pla y KQ6 or 5 over and over again. I love King's Quest. I have played all of them except for 4. I'm working on 7 with my sister.

I don't remember my first KQ to be honest... I know I was young, and I remember my dad used to play the KQ games with me, but I don't quite remember which one I played first. I would guess it's KQ1. :P

I think my first KQ was Kq3.
Every time I played it I fell several times of the mountain before I were of the mountain.
It was a lot of fun to see him fall, but it made it also frustrating game.

A normal person would know how to walk of a mountain whitout falling. 
But I have played most of the games and had a lot of fun some time.

Mine was KQ4, I think.  When I was about six years old, I remember getting on my grandpa's computer, trying out all the programs, and I stumbled across King's Quest 4.  I loaded up a savegame, and there Rosella was, wandering around some dark, creepy house.  I was (and still am!) pretty jumpy, so I quit the game before I had a chance to die accidentally.  :D  It's a shame that I didn't give it a chance; I was such a fan of fairy tales back then!

The first King's Quest that I finished was KQ6, which I played many years later on our cr*ptastic computer in the basement.  Since then, I've played through all of them except for the original KQ1 and KQ2, and KQ3.

Personally I also thought the death scenes in KQ6 were very funny.
