I just finished ATOTK today (well, I reached one of the endings... I still intend to re-play it and try for full score). I must say it's one the best fan games I've ever played, right up there with AGDI's KQ2VGA if not better. It does a great job creating an intricate and immersive world, with a complex, non-linear plot. Playing the game, you can  see that a lot of thought and hard work went into every aspect of it - GUI, graphics, soundtrack, plot and puzzles. The only thing it's lacking is a voicepack, which is a shame not to have in such a professional-looking game :-\

From the KQ Omnipedia:

In the score years between King Graham's wedding to Valanice and their son Alexander's triumphant return and defeat of the vicious dragon, a tale of intrigue, romance and heroism unfolds. Graham takes his army to the nearby realm of Theylinn at its King Vortigern's behest, to aid the struggling country against a goblin invasion. But in the dark of the night, a foul murder is committed, and Graham wrongly takes the blame. Framed and imprisoned, our beloved king must escape and travel the lands incognito in search of the real assassin, not to mention a solution for the goblin troubles. Featuring a full cast of giants, fairies, wizards and scheming nobility.

Thanks! I don't think I ever read this, though it's possible I did and forgot about it :P
I think the game is better off without the KQ connections, and not just because of the copyrights issues - not everything has to be about King's Quest, and it's good to see new, original games.
I wonder if the game's popularity suffered as a result, though :-\
