About the game:
King's Quest features interactive graphics that were an enormous leap over the mostly static 'rooms' of previous graphical interactive fiction. Prior to King's Quest, the typical adventure game presented the player a pre-drawn scene, accompanied by a text description. The player's interaction with the game consisted entirely of typing commands into the game's parser, then reading the parser's response, as the on-screen graphics rarely changed (except when the player moved to a new location).
About the run:
A Speedrun of King's Quest 1 Enhanced Edition on the Amiga.
I Just wanted to beat this game in sub 10m, there are a couple of mistkes here and there but overall it worked out.
I messed up the last and most easy section by going to a wrong screen so a couple of seconds wasted on this.
Due to many many attempts and failing by either typos or falling of the giant bean (this was driving me insane) I played it mostly safe on the more difficult parts of the run. Also I grabbed the bird first try what also is not working out everytime.
Overall I reached my goal with a decent 9m 51s run.
The Amiga Version itself has some heavy load times and slows down if there is a lot of stuff going on on the screen so there is no chance to compete with the DOS version.
Anyway have fun watching it.
Game was played with WinUAE + WHDLoad of KQ1.
