One of my absolute favorite games of all time. Roberta Williams was a genius.
Her other games are all almost as good as this one, including the other King's Quest games and Phantasmagoria. The latter is a CD-ROM game that is essentially an interactive horror movie. It's a shame they don't make games like this anymore.
Roberta Williams said in an interview that she retired because she couldn't make games for a new market where everyone has a PC. In the past, PC game consumers were almost entirely people with very high I.Q.s. Once the Internet convinced the masses to buy PCs, games had to be easier in order to make enough money to justify their development costs.
But she didn't know how to make games for "average" people, so she gave up.
oh wow I forgot about Phantasmagoria. I think you were constantly being pursued by people that wanted to give you a lobotomy. I think that might have been the first CD-rom game i had... unless Wing Commander was on CD's.... I don't remember....
