Sierra Saturday: Let's Play King's Quest IV: Episode 1 - Just a little bit of peril
This week on Sierra Saturday, we return to the magical land of Daventry and beyond, as we begin the fourth adventure in the King's Quest series with King's Quest IV: Perils of Rosella. We pick up right where we left off with the story of King's Quest 3, with King Graham's adventurer's hat soaring through the air, but tragedy strikes, and Graham suffers what we can only assume is a semi-serious cardiac episode. Rosella, distraught, makes a wish and is browbeaten by a fairy into traveling magically to the land of Tamir to run errands while Graham's life teeter's on the brink.

King's Quest IV: Perils of Rosella is the fourth entry into the King's Quest series and though also including an AGI version, was the first among them to move from the Sierra AGI engine to the new SCI engine, with square pixels, color dithering and the introduction of the beautiful midi sequences of the Roland MT-32. It tells the story of King Graham's daughter, Rosella, on a quest to save Graham after he collapses when welcoming Alexander (Gwydion) and Rosella home after the adventures of King's Quest III. She is transported to the magical realm of Tamir, where in true King's Quest fashion, she must interact with fairytale creatures in order to help a fairy godmother analogue, in order to secure the one cure for her father's malady.
The NPCs are playing King's Quest IV's SCI version with Roland MT-32 audio.
Sierra Saturday is a weekly series on the Level 0 NPCs channel, where Matt & Luke relive their childhoods playing classic adventure games of the '80s and '90s (and beyond?). Sierra adventure games were a special breed of dark humor, brutally unfair puzzles and unforgettable characters, and we hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane with us.
