King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella

The Good
If you waited to play this after some of the KQs that followed it, I can understand the comparisons. You should've played it when it was new! We KQ fans waited 2 long, agonizing years between King's Quest 3 and KQ4. The minute it was released, I rushed out to buy it. And I wasn't disappointed!

Of all the King's Quest games I've played (and I played them all), this is my favorite. Okay, I'm a girl and a blonde too, so I found it exciting that a blonde female played the lead role. Roberta Williams' story telling technique always thrilled me, no matter what game she made. I found the puzzles challenging, and especially liked the mythological Pegasus quest.

Basically, I loved everything about the game.

The Bad
A few game bugs resulted in Sierra's releasing a patch, although I don't remember what it fixed.

The Bottom Line
Even though I played this game a long ~ long ~ time ago, it is still very memorable for me. A must have for collectors of Sierra games and a great game for anyone wanting a great story with interesting situation and inventory oriented puzzles.
