'''''King's Quest: Quest for the Crown''''' is an [[adventure game]] developed by [[Sierra On-Line]] and published originally for the [[IBM PCjr]] in 1984 and later for several other systems between 1984 and 1989. The game was originally titled  '''''King's Quest'''''; the subtitle was added to the game's box art in the 1987 re-release, but did not appear in the game.

It is the first official part of the long-running ''[[King's Quest]]'' series (not counting 1980's ''[[Wizard and the Princess]]''), in which a young knight, Sir Graham, must save the Kingdom of Daventry to become the king. Designed by [[Roberta Williams]], the game was revolutionary and highly influential in the evolution of the [[graphic adventure game]] genre by introducing more detailed graphics and animation.

An official remake titled '''''King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown''''' was released in 1990. An unofficial remake was released by [[AGD Interactive|Tierra Entertainment]] in 2001.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Kings Quest Tandy.png|thumb|left|Opening scene]]

''King's Quest'' features interactive graphics that were a leap over the mostly static rooms of previous graphical [[interactive fiction]]. Earlier typical [[adventure game]]s present the player a pre-drawn scene, accompanied by a text description. In these games, the player's interaction consists entirely of typing commands into the game's parser, then reading the parser's response, because the on-screen graphics rarely change except when the player moves to a new location.

''King's Quest'' is the first adventure game to integrate graphical animation into the player's view of the game world.<ref name="KQ1-NGAlphas">{{cite magazine |title=NG Alphas: King's Quest: Mask of Eternity |magazine=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]] |issue=30|publisher=[[Imagine Media]] |date=June 1997|page=72 |url=https://archive.org/stream/NextGeneration30Jun1997/Next_Generation_30_Jun_1997#page/n73}}</ref> This shifts the focus away from the static scenery, to the player's character, which is animated on-screen. Animation sequences are in most player interactions reachable through the normal course of exploration. For example, animation sequences show Graham picking up objects from the ground, opening doors, and wading through water. Depth perspective is simulated; Graham can walk behind objects, causing his character to be hidden from view, or walk in front of them, obscuring the object. This attention to graphical animation, commonplace in [[action game]]s, earned ''King's Quest'' the distinction as the first "3D-animated" adventure game.

The original version of the game relies primarily on textual input as its interface. As the player uses the keyboard to explore the game world, the on-screen character, Graham, is animated walking to the chosen destination. The fantasy world of Daventry consists of an 8×6 cyclic array of screens (or rooms) that make up the outdoor world in which the player can navigate freely, plus about 30 additional screens for indoor, sky, and underground places.

''King's Quest''{{'}}s innovation includes 16-color graphics for the IBM PC platform. The game uses the [[IBM PCjr|PCjr]] and [[Tandy 1000]]'s [[Tandy Graphics Adapter|Video Gate Array]] and enhanced sound, and [[Color Graphics Adapter]] (CGA) computers can display 16-color graphics with [[Color Graphics Adapter#Extended artifact colors|artifact colors]] on a [[Color Graphics Adapter#With a composite color monitor/television set|composite color monitor or television]]. Selecting [[Color Graphics Adapter#With an RGBI monitor|RGBI mode]] at the title screen instead results in the usual 320×200 CGA graphics mode, limited to 4 colors. In this mode, [[Dithering#Digital photography and image processing|dithering]] simulates extra colors. Like previous static-screen Sierra adventures, ''King's Quest'' uses vector graphics rather than pre-rendered bitmaps, which would take far too much disk space. Each screen is drawn line-by-line and painted in. This technique is in all Sierra adventure games up to ''[[King's Quest V]]''.

==Plot==
===''King's Quest''===
In the original version for the [[IBM PCjr]], the story is simple. The Kingdom of Daventry is suffering from recent disasters and hardship. King Edward calls his bravest knight, Sir Grahame, to his throne, and tells him he has heard of three legendary treasures hidden throughout the land that would end Daventry's troubles. If Grahame succeeds, he will become king.<ref name="KQ-PCJR-Manual">''King's Quest'' (1984) PCJR, pp. 9–10,</ref> In later releases, the knight's name was changed to Graham.

===''King's Quest: Quest for the Crown''===
Since the game's fourth release (1984) and the repackaged fifth release (1987), the backstory was greatly expanded. The Kingdom of Daventry is in serious trouble, after its precious magical items have been stolen. One day, King Edward the Benevolent rescued a beautiful young Princess Dahlia of Cumberland, but on the night of their wedding she was discovered to actually be an evil witch who stole the king's treasure. Knowing that he had to save the kingdom, the dying King Edward sends his bravest knight, Sir Graham, to Cumberland. His quest is to rid the land of the treacherous witch, outwit the other assorted villains, and retrieve the three lost treasures. Because he had no heir, if Graham should succeed, he would become the next king.<ref name="KQ1-Manual">''KQ1'' manual, pp. 1–10.</ref>
He went to Ontarion.
Sir Graham embarked upon a quest for the items through Daventry, climbing a magic [[bean]]stalk to the Land of the Clouds where he recovered the chest of gold, facing leprechauns to retrieve the shield and a dragon to get back the mirror. After retrieving all the items, Graham returned to the throne room in time to present them to the king before he died. As the king died, he passed on rule of Daventry to Sir Graham as promised.

==Development==
In late 1982, [[IBM]] contacted [[Sierra On-Line]] for [[launch game]]s for its forthcoming PCjr home computer, announced in November 1983.<ref name="wiswell19840124">{{cite news | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kSzKzjWHeVEC&pg=PA142 | title=Coming Soon: Games For The PCjr | work=PC | date=January 24, 1984 | access-date=January 26, 2015 | author=Wiswell, Phil | pages=142–145}}</ref> Among the software Sierra developed was ''King's Quest'', the first animated adventure game.<ref name="wiswell19840124"/><ref name="maher20130718">{{cite web | url=http://www.filfre.net/2013/07/the-unmaking-and-remaking-of-sierra-on-line/ | title=The Unmaking and Remaking of Sierra On-Line | publisher=The Digital Antiquarian | date=July 18, 2013 | access-date=February 5, 2015 | author=Maher, Jimmy}}</ref> To create the interactive animation, the ''King's Quest'' development process deployed a prototype version of what would eventually become the [[Adventure Game Interpreter]] (AGI) [[game engine]].

IBM requested a sophisticated and replayable adventure game, and paid for much of the $850,000 development cost.{{r|maher20130718}} IBM stated in advertisements that ''King's Quest'' "runs on the IBM PCjr and makes good use of some special PCjr capabilities", with "unusually smooth and realistic" animation and "an impressive variety of sound effects".<ref name="ibm19841210">{{cite news | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=si4EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA37 | title=Read Only | work=InfoWorld | date=December 10, 1984 | access-date=January 5, 2015 | pages=37–40 | type=advertisement}}</ref> Its discontinuation of the computer in March 1985 stunned Sierra.<ref name="kennedy19850514">{{cite news | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DDlmJxSURq8C&pg=PA33 | title=Junior Axed By IBM | work=PC | date=May 14, 1985 | access-date=January 21, 2015 | author=Kennedy, Don | pages=33}}</ref> Due to the PCjr's poor reception, ''King's Quest'' did not sell very well.

=== MS-DOS releases ===
[[File:King's Quest I screenshot comparison.png|thumb|Identical places in the [[Adventure Game Interpreter|AGI]] (left, 1984–1987) and "Enhanced" SCI (right, 1990) versions of the game]]

The game was re-released for [[MS-DOS]] in 1986 using Sierra's updated AGI version 2 engine. The MS-DOS version lacks some sound effects present in the self-booting version, including birds chirping and distinct sounds for each enemy. It also adds some musical cues from ''[[King's Quest II]]'', including "[[Greensleeves]]" replacing the original simple fanfare at the title screen (the original fanfare still plays when the doors of Castle Daventry open). Background pictures are now drawn into an off-screen buffer to avoid the painting effect of the original game. This was not done merely for the sake of tidiness, but because the self-booting version inadvertently reveals some puzzle solutions by drawing hidden objects first, followed by scenery.

MS-DOS versions require 256K memory. All versions were published by Sierra.

*November 13, 1986,<ref name="TimestampData">Timestamp of data files</ref> Version 1.0U: Updated version, says "New version" on the title screen. Displays text in windows. Supports [[Enhanced Graphics Adapter|EGA]] graphics and runs from hard disks as well, although a key disk is required upon startup. Requires DOS 2.0, IBM PC with CGA graphics or PCjr/Tandy 1000. Unique in showing a discolored leaf at the title screen. Sold in the same gray flip-lid box as the 128K self-booting versions, with a gray triangular sticker denoting the 256K version, and a gold sticker stating "Now supports EGA".
*May 5, 1987,<ref name="TimestampData"/> Version 2.0F, interpreter version 2.425: Adds pull-down menus. Supports [[Hercules Graphics Card|Hercules]] graphics and modifies the EGA graphics code to run on machines with an 80386 processor. Sold both in the original gray flip-lid box as well as a gold slipcover box. The gold slipcover box adds the sub-title "''Quest for the Crown''" for the first time, even as it is not mentioned in the game itself. First version of the game that was also available on 3.5" 720K disks.
*December 1, 1987,<ref name="TimestampEXE"/> Version 2.0F, interpreter version 2.917: Adds support for [[Multi-Color Graphics Array|MCGA]] graphics.<ref name="SierraNewsletter2">{{cite magazine|title=The Sierra Newsletter |url=https://archive.org/details/Sierra_Newsletter_Volume_1_Number_2_1987/page/n5/mode/2up |magazine=The Sierra Newsletter |volume=1 |issue=2 |page=6}} </ref> 

All floppy-disk based releases of the 128K and 256K versions use different forms of on-disk copy protection.

''King's Quest'' was not ported to the [[Commodore 64]], the most important computer game platform.{{r|maher20130718}} Roberta Williams said that the limitations of its graphic system (three colors per 8x8 block) did not permit the level of graphics detail Sierra wanted. In addition, the computer's 64k of memory is too small for the complex AGI engine. She said that she had always wanted to make an adventure game with animation, but it was not possible up to then.

The 1989 Master System port uses its own engine, with a verb/noun interface similar to early [[LucasArts]] games. It has original tile and sprite-based graphics and was published by [[Parker Brothers]], who in turn outsourced development to micro smiths, as had been done for ''[[Montezuma's Revenge (video game)|Montezuma's Revenge]]''. The game is based on the original ''King's Quest'', and shares the puzzles and points-list of that game. Some of the puzzles and rooms have been modified a bit (for example, the boulder covering the dagger rolls a different direction than in PC). An extra item exists &mdash; it is now possible to pick up the three-leaf clovers. There are some extra places to die (including a dangerous staircase added to an exit of the Leprechauns' realm). It is non-linear, and the three treasures can be collected in any order, like in the original PC version. Game saves are done through passwords.

===1990 remake===
''King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown'' is a 1990 remake of ''King's Quest''. This release is the "Enhanced" version of ''King's Quest''. It uses Sierra's Creative Interpreter (SCI) engine, the same engine used in games such as ''[[King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella|King's Quest IV]]''; while it still uses 16-color graphics, it features twice the resolution, and music card support instead of the PC speaker. There are two different box variations for this release: one with the same gold slipcover box as the 1987 256K version 2.0F and a box created specifically for the remake.

The game is described as a 1.5 (1½) remake of ''King's Quest I''.<ref>John Williams describes as a King's Quest I 1/2... a conversion of the original AGI game to SCI...., Sierra News Magazine, Autumn 1989, pg 14</ref>

The 1990 SCI EGA "Enhanced" version of ''King's Quest: Quest for the Crown'' was announced for the Atari ST line of computers.<ref name="Staff-Spring91">{{cite web |url=http://sierra.gracenroark.net/interaction/010_Sierra_News_Magazine_Volume_4_Number_1_Spring_1991.pdf?tag= |title=Staff (Spring 1991) |publisher=[[Sierra On-Line]] |access-date=November 28, 2018 |archive-date=February 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216090016/http://sierra.gracenroark.net/interaction/010_Sierra_News_Magazine_Volume_4_Number_1_Spring_1991.pdf?tag= |url-status=dead }}</ref> It was announced via ''Sierra News Magazine'' in spring 1991, saying owners could send disk #1 or the front cover of the manual along with a check or money order for $20 to upgrade their copy to the enhanced version.  A retail boxed version was not sold in stores.

In 1994, the retail version was released for the Atari ST via publisher: Kixx XL with  [[ST Action]]'s Tina Hackett summing it up as a "Fairly reasonable adventure game with plenty of puzzles to solve."<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.atarimania.com/mags/pdf/atari-st-user-issue-098.pdf|title=KING'S QUEST 1: Is once a knight really enough?

===Fan remake===
In 2001, the group [[AGD Interactive]] (then known as Tierra Entertainment) released an unofficial remake based on Sierra's 1990 version, updating the graphics to use [[VGA]] colors, dropping the parser in favor of an interface that mimics that of ''[[King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder!|King's Quest V]]'', and full speech - including the voice of the original voice actor for King Graham in Sierra's official [[CD-ROM]] full-speech versions of ''King's Quest V'' and ''VI'', [[Josh Mandel (video game designer)|Josh Mandel]].<ref name="KQ1-AGD">{{Cite web|url=http://www.agdinteractive.com/games/kq1/about/aboutdev.html|title=AGDInteractive Studios|website=www.agdinteractive.com}}</ref> This was later updated with original hand-drawn artwork.

==Reception==
{{expand section|date=April 2016}}
Reviews at launch were overwhelmingly positive. ''Compute!'' and other magazines lavished praise on the game’s visuals and scope.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Trivette |first=Donald B. |title=Inside King's Quest |work=Compute! |issue=57 |date=February 1985 |url=https://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue57/kings_quest.html |access-date=4 May 2025}}</ref>

"Roberta Williams is to be applauded for making such a giant leap forward while still retaining the

French magazine ''[[:fr:Jeux et Stratégie|Jeux & Stratégie]]'' rated the 1984 Apple II and PC Jr versions 3 out of 5, noting that the high system memory requirements would hinder many players.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=http://archive.org/details/jeux-et-strategie-32/page/48/mode/2up|magazine=Jeux & stratégie | title=King's Quest |date=April 28, 1985|via=[[Internet Archive]]}}</ref>

The 1990 enhanced version was described by critics and fans alike at the time as "destroying a classic", and was compared to the controversial practice of [[colorizing]] classic black and white movies.{{Citation needed|date=March 2023}} The remake was a critical failure and prevented the release of further remakes in the series.{{Citation needed|date=March 2023}}
