This was filmed at my high school right before they tore it down. It gives me some sadness when I watch it as I know it's gone forever and the story was based on actual events. Never was much into made for TV movies but this one was done well. I always liked Ricky Schroeder & Henry Winkler, they both performed well here. I miss my old Jordan High. Beetdigger forever.
I grew up on the old / previous King's Quest games, I was 11 when the original came out in black and white. I was a fan immediately, I can blame the old Atari game Adventure for my liking of adventure games and RPG's. So once 1990 rolled around and this game came out I was super excited of course after already having beat all the previous four games multiple times. I unfortunately had to wait until Christmas 91 to get it. I played this non-stop until I beat it. Back then when you have only the Sierra help line to call for clues or friends who possibly are farther in the game then you for help it was mostly figuring out all of it yourself which I did pretty much for 90% of the game. I think it took me about 6 months to beat the game after all that trial and error but that's what made these games fun was figuring it out all by yourself.
I thought I was going to hate the new point and click interface but I really liked how it smoothed the game out. The typing interface in the old games can get really old. The owl could be annoying but that's a small complaint for such a great game in a great series. King's Quest games 1 thru 6 are all great adventures and each one getting better than the previous one. I think they obviously peaked with games 5 & 6.
I have to be honest if I could go back in time and relive the greatness that was the 80s and 90s I would do it in a sec. Sure technology was more in it's infant stages but to me it was more pure fun. This game is so old to give you an idea of inflation today gas prices were around 90 cents to a dollar per gallon around the time this game came out. When King's Quest 4 came out I remember gas was around 75 cents per gallon. It sure was a simpler time but we had a great time living in it.
