King's Quest I revisited, a worthy re-make!

The Good
The old King's Quest I has been faithfully remaked with new and better music, voice-acting, early 90's VGA-graphics, and just invokes a certain degree of nostalgia. This is indeed a worthy re-make of this old classic!

The Bad
Some may complain about it not being quite long, but it's just as long as the original King's Quest; i.e: an experienced adventure gamer should be able to complete it without any aid in less then 4 hours - but that is not this re-makes fault, but the original King's Quest.

The Bottom Line
Tierra has re-created the classic King's Quest in a way which not only relives the original KQ atmosphere - it also enhances it in a way which will not only invoke nostalgia, but also a lot of fun.

Tierra has made a wonderful and commendable remake of this old classic, which, although short, will hopefully relive the interest in yesterday's adventure games in the interest of today's and the next generation gamers.
