About the game:
King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow is a point-and-click adventure game, first released in 1992 as the sixth installment in the King's Quest series produced by Sierra On-Line. Written by Roberta Williams and Jane Jensen, King's Quest VI is widely recognized as the high point in the series.
Plot:
The game takes place almost entirely in a fictional kingdom called the Land of the Green Isles. The kingdom comprises several islands, and is described as being largely isolated from the outside world. The player can travel between different islands after obtaining a magic map.
The center of the kingdom is the Isle of the Crown, which has an Arabian Nights theme. The Isle of Wonder is inspired by Alice in Wonderland, and the Isle of the Sacred Mountain is inspired by Classical mythology. The Isle of the Beast, inspired by Beauty And The Beast, is heavily forested and scattered with magical barriers. There also are additional hidden areas. One of these is inhabited by a tribe of druids, while another gives the player the option to confront Death.
Amiga Version:
The Amiga version was ported by Revolution Software. Sierra, which itself converted its games for the Amiga prior to King's Quest VI, announced in early 1993 that it would cease releasing games for the platform; however, Revolution co-founder Charles Cecil offered his company to make the Amiga conversion instead. The port began development in March 1993 and was released for the Amiga in December.It uses Revolution's Virtual Theatre engine instead of SCI1 due to better performance on the platform.

About the run:
This game oh man it really took me a lot of tries to get an decent run. Its making me mad that I did this one stupid mistake which cost me about 15s. Until the Underworld I took the current route to complete this. In the Underworld there are some puzzles cut so I have to adjust to this and the castle section is the same as on the short path. Luckily I discovered a very good technique to cancel out most of the dialoges so there is at least 1min I can be faster in a future run. For now I am done with this :)
I used WinUAE for emulating an A1200, the game version I installed is a whdload-install
After all this is a fine game, especially for its time and age. Well done Sierra/Revolution.
