This is a pretty tough choice, since I like a few of these.  XD  

However, the second I heard "Hi ho, hi ho!  It's off to work I go..." come out of the PC speaker, I knew that had to be my favourite.  XD

7 dwarves.

The whole Ali Baba bit in KQ5 was load of fun, though dangerous. ;)

I'd argue that 7 dwarves are better than Beauty and the Beast, because there are 7 of them. I would, except then I'd hear how 40 thieves are better than 7 dwarves.

B'rrr

I never played KQ4, so i wuldn't know if that one is better ; \

Hum, I had to go with the Headless Horseman... then again I liked "Sleepy Hollow" when others did not... what can I say I like headless guys...  ;)

I recollect I liked his music as well...

I voted for other. My favorite fairy tale may be just in my imagination. In KQ6 I've been able to relate it to Aladdin through-out the whole thing. Aladdin is my favorite classic Disney movie and since it's a classic I'll consider it a fairy tale.
I'm a princess even if my kingdom is pixelated.

It's funny how you find you enjoy your life when you're happy to be alive.

And, I believe Disney's Aladdin was based on the tale "Arabian Nights" or something like that.  8)

Yes, Aladdin one of the tales of Arabian Nights...
Disney didn't make up all the fairytales, you know ::)

QuoteOrpheus (Knight in the Land of the Dead) (KQ6)

Who decided that and what greek mythology have they been reading? ::)


My favourite is Beauty And The Beast... I've been voting for KQ6 a lot lately :P

Beauty and the Beast...mainly because KQ6 was my first King's Quest...and it was the first fairy tale I related to the game!

I thought that was Cinderella and the Beast.

P.S. I'm talking about how she had to work for her stepmother and stepsisters(I think).

koko_99_2001

Well, true...did Sierra mix up their fairy tales??

Beauty had a similar setup to Cinderella in the actual fairy tale, she left to protect her father from the Beast and partly to avoid her stepsisters or something.

I thought walking around in the Land of the Dead in KQ6 was very atmospheric and cool.  That was such a gloomy place to explore.  That was a great section in that game ;D

B'rrr

hmmm, i have nothing against mixing fairytales ; ) i thought it was kinda cool in kq6  ;-D

Same here, I believe. Though Beauty kinda annoyed me. I'm not sure why, may have been the voice :)
