King’s Quest (2015) Chapter 5: The Good Knight
Our final project, and also the most recent entry into the King’s Quest series, featuring the Greatest Graham-pa to ever live!
Playlist:
Part 1: Old King Graham may be losing his memory, but at least he dances like a leprechaun!
Part 2: DVD Extras and Deleted Scenes: The Game!
Part 3: Old Graham makes use of his senility to RESHAPE THE UNIVERSE and solve a few puzzles while he’s at it.
Part 4: Graham follows a series of romantic clues, which leads to him stuffing a frog up his butt. Also, more retcons from the old series!
Part 5: The game really tries to win us over with the promise of Square Castles! Will it be enough to overcome the severe depression the rest of this game causes?
Part 6: Graham finally bests Manny and becomes Dr. Brain’s assistant! And we get a clue as to who Gwendolyn’s TRUE grandmother is!
Also, King Graham dies. I, uh, may have a few issues with how this is handled.
Epilogue: Gwendolyn goes on a grand adventure of her own, hunting yarblesnoofs with sugarshrooms and meeting a Zelda boss or two! Now I want five chapters of THIS game!

See the videos!
- Who is King Graham’s son? He goes by many names!
- Aww! Lil’ Alexanduh needs his bah-bah!
- The Sphinx! Now with purple mane!
- The mysterious ice fortress looks an awful lot like another cold, crystal-filled fortress visited by a hero in a red cape… Also a lot of stupid people are in this game.
- After a long, rant-filled playthrough, the sphinx relaxes with the ol’ Quest for Glory II drunk griffin.
King’s Quest (2015) Chapter 4: Snow Place Like Home
The noble King Graham becomes a grade-A douchebag to his son and nearly gets everyone killed! What a hero!
See the doodles!
Playlist:
Part 1: Comforting babies…truly a QUEST OF KINGS!
Part 2: Child kidnapping, popcorn-flavored jelly beans, murder, and staring contests! All here in the Kelvin timeline of King’s Quest!
Part 3: After an interminable car trip, our intrepid family arrives at a tropical vacation spot, which has mysteriously frozen over. But WHO CARES? PUZZLES!!!!!!!1!!11!1!!!11!!
Part 4: King Graham squashes all of his son’s interests and uses him for manual labor, thereby winning the Trophy for *Totally* Understanding Teenage Millennials.
Part 5: Alexander finally gets as fed up with Graham as we are and snaps! Figuratively and literally!
Part 6: We reach the end of the Fortress of Solitude, only to find an old “friend.” You mean this sinister frozen wasteland of evil was actually a trap?!?!?!?!?
Part 7: In this climax, Graham’s family is in mortal danger! BUT WHO THREW OUT HIS FAVORITE MUG?!?!?!?!? Can you tell this game makes me angry?
Part 8: The game is basically over, so have about ten more puzzles for no reason! The answer is LOVE! It’s ALWAYS the answer!

- In another strange mash-up of games we played the same night, Donkey Kong kidnaps King Graham at the top of Hagatha’s Tower!
- Based on a dumb joke we made about S’mores (you see, a S’more is a Graham-wich because the crackers are like the bread and the marshmallow and chocolate are etc. etc. whatever).
- The giant squirrel looks on in bemusement as Hagatha’s tower runs by!
- Hagatha stares at her past. But which version is the improvement?
- The Hobblepots have finally completed their evolution into potato people! They’re at the beach!
- This is, like, three gags colliding in one doodle (Hagatha kind of looks like the Troll Valanice running gag, but also looks a little like a pickle, kind of like the one from Space Quest 4 from Monolith Burger that says, “Bite me, I’m a pickle!” that became a running gag between The Sister and her then-boyfriend now-husband and may have somehow helped contribute to their decision to wed? I’m a bit fuzzy on that part). Anyway, if none of that matters to you, enjoy a nice non-sequitur!
- Graham has a hard choice: does he pursue Troll Vee or Troll Neese?
- Happy Valanice Day, everybody! May you find a beautiful troll of your own to love!
