Mac users who've never played Kings Quest will surely enjoy this time travel adventure, this time. The first title to be released on the Mac was a huge hit, and King's Quest is more of the same. Released in 1990, it was developed by Sierra Entertainment and released on the NES. This time around, the main character is the young British adventurer, Malcolm Finch (Brian Duffield) who has to solve puzzles, solve crimes, and use his wits to get through a whole new world.
If you're not familiar with Kings Quest, there are two versions of the game that you can play. The first is the original Mac version of the game, and it was followed up by a home version that is only available from Macromedia. It is definitely worth a look. The second is the free Mac application called Kings Quest I: Quest for the Crown. It has all the same controls as the original game, plus, it offers lots of extra games for you to play. The graphics and audio also work just like the original game. There is no real reason to miss out on this one.
The Apple Macintosh gets an automatic upgrade to the latest version of the operating system each year, and if you're looking for a Mac version of this title, it is likely that Kings Quest I: Quest for the Crown is the best way to go. Since Mac users will have the newest version of the OS installed, it should be easier to run the latest game version. Free applications are great for helping Mac users make the most of their computer, and they can also help you play the latest titles on the market.
