Amazon.com Review
By the standards of computer game books, this is a staggering tome. That it covers the solutions to all seven King's Quest games doesn't account for its length and richness--not even when you take into account that it leads to multiple solutions of many problems. This is more than just a computer game solution book: it's a fantasy novel in its own right. In The King's Quest Companion we often follow the narrative stories of the King's Quest characters, seeing their world through their eyes, hearing their voices and thoughts, seeing them not as on-screen game pieces but as fully developed characters. That might even be too mild a description, because Spear insists throughout that the world of Daventry is "real" and that these stories all really happened. Certainly, the characters have become real for the devoted players who've followed their exploits since the first King's Quest changed the face of computer gaming in 1984. Spear's strategy guide offers solutions to the puzzles that have driven players to distraction for years, but more than that, he adds new depth to the King's Quest experience.
Product Description
This one-of-a-kind computer game book has a large and dedicated following. Previous editions have sold a total of 60,842 copies. Sierra On-Line's King's Quest, the strategy game for which this book was written continues to have a huge following as well. According to the author, King's Quest is considered to be one of the greatest game series ever published. In addition, Computer Retail Week statistics place this game series in the top five most profitable series. Osborne has demonstrated that there is a consistent and lasting market for the book, and we're sure to catch devoted readers of author Peter Spear, and of the game itself, in this fourth edition.
