Is it true that King's Quest was in it's day (and perhaps today) the greatest selling computer game (or game) series of all time?

Many games/series are hyped as the best selling ever...
I wonder what they base those declarations on ???

Maybe they use very specific categories. ;)

Maybe... except that they always called King's Quest three-dimensional  ;)

On all the KQ books and game boxes, they like all say "#1 Best Selling Computer Game"  but then again..those were a while ago  :-\

The actual title was '3-D Animated Adventure Game', for you folks' info.

And KQ certainly was the best selling game at the time; check the KQ4 Promotional movie for example.

Nice try, Questie, but unlike me, Spikey is sane. A bit... OK, a lot obsessed with Sierra music, perhaps, but possessing a good grip on reality.

Peace & Luv, Liz

B'rrr

Welcome to the forum, Spikey!! ;D

Great! more sane people! The sane are by far the minority here... most of those who enter the forum  don't seem to keep their sanity for long, if they had it to begin with ;P

Thanks for posting the movie! I've never seen that one before :)
However, it only says KQ is the best selling graphic adventure, not the best selling game of all times :S
