Trivia
The manual that came with the game, the "Guidebook to the Land of the Green Isles," was necessary to beat the game, as it contained a translation of an in-game language and phrases used as answers to riddles to advance the plot. Sierra used this as a way to prevent the game from being playable if it was pirated.

Goofs
On the short path, the guard dogs Wolf and Bay occasionally swap names (and voices) as well as the dogs Jowls and Mite when confronted by Alexander.

Quotes
Narrator: Alexander holds the rabbit's foot out for the gnome with the huge hands.
Trilly Dilly: [after Alexander holds out a lucky rabbit's foot] Be all you mad? What aileth thee? / A bunny can't trill merrily! / A hare does not at all taste sweet! / A rabbit here is all we greet.

Alternate versions
In the 1997 Kings Quest Collection. A Windows 95 version features high resolution graphics portraits of Characters Such as Prince Alexander and other characters, even the icons and items are featured in high detail graphics. However after the end of the voice acting Wedding scene. The game crashes and shows the end credits but it only had the instrumental song "Girl in the Tower" in the Text version end credits. However, this version won't work in the Windows XP or 7 mode.

One of the best KQ games.

I love the King's Quest series. It is the greatest adventure game series ever made. Probably the most popular in the series is KQ6, which features the voice of Robbie Benson as Prince Alexander(aka Gwydion from KQ3). The plot is very reminiscent of KQ2--seeing the Girl in the Tower in the magic mirror, the pawn shop, the genies, etc.--but it is still an excellent game in itself. There are many different ways to beat the game, and you can play it several times without it getting old.
