Saving Often - King's Quest V NES, part 1
7This week, we begin the oft-maligned NES port of Sierra's multimedia powerhouse, King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder! KQV was a massive achievement in its day, and Sierra planned to release it on a multitude of consoles, but this was as far as they got. I wonder why? Also featuring the ants of King Antony, Queen Beetrice, Cedric the Owl, feeding the bears, and life-giving water, nectar of the gods!
