However, it turned out that Sierra had greatly miscalculated how the market would receive these games. All other remakes used SCI Version 1 (introduced in KG5) which allowed hand-painted 256-color backgrounds. Being the first of the remade Sierra classics, this game was the only one to be made in 16 colors.

Graphics were remade, and new music was added. They would all use the new SCI system and the enhanced looks and sounds of the new versions would show how much tecnology had improved over the years. In celebration of their 10 years as a successful computer entertainment company, it was decided in 1989 that Sierra On-Line should make new, enhanced versions of the first games in their five most popular game franchises: King's Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest and Quest for Glory. This is a complete reworking of the original King's Quest, using Sierra's 16-color SCI (Sierra Creative Interpreter) engine. Besides the upgraded graphics it also features a point & click interface, voices (optional) and MP3 music (optional).

How, you may ask.Ī fan-made VGA remake of the original King's Quest using Chris Jones' Adventure Game Studio engine. Many people have lost hope for the game, but what I discovered today, is that ANYONE could remake the game, if they have the skills to do so. It has been over 2 years since the game Monkey Quest has been shutdown by Nickelodeon. Instead of the text-based interface of the original version, the remake features icons corresponding to the commands Walk, Look, Touch, and Talk for interaction with the game world. This enhanced remake of Police Quest has been completely re-drawn using 256-color VGA graphics.
