🌍️ Wikipedia: (King's Quest: Quest for the Crown)
King's Quest is an adventure game developed by Sierra On-Line and published originally for the IBM PCjr in 1984 and later for several other systems between 1984 and 1989. The game was originally titled King's Quest; the subtitle Quest for the Crown was added to the game box in the 1987 re-release, but did not appear in the game.
It is the first official part of the long King's Quest series (not counting 1980's Wizard and the Princess), in which a young knight, Sir Graham, must save the Kingdom of Daventry to become the king. Designed by Roberta Williams, the game was revolutionary and highly influential in the evolution of the graphic adventure game genre by introducing more detailed graphics and animation.
An official remake titled King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown was released in 1990. An unofficial remake was released by Tierra Entertainment in 2001.
Gameplay
King's Quest features interactive graphics that were an enormous leap over the mostly static rooms of previous graphical interactive fiction. Earlier typical adventure games present the player a pre-drawn scene, accompanied by a text description. The player's interaction consists entirely of typing commands into the game's parser, then reading the parser's response, because the on-screen graphics rarely change except when the player moves to a new location.
King's Quest is the first adventure game to integrate graphical animation into the player's view of the game world. This shifts the focus away from the static scenery, to the player's character, which is animated on-screen. Animation sequences are in most player interactions reachable through the normal course of exploration. For example, animation sequences show Graham picking up objects from the ground, opening doors, and wading through water. Depth perspective is simulated; Graham can walk behind objects, causing his character to be hidden from view, or walk in front of them, obscuring the object. This attention to graphical animation, commonplace in action games, earned King's Quest the distinction as the first "3D-animated" adventure game.
The original version of the game relies primarily on textual input as its interface. As the player uses the keyboard to explore the game world, the on-screen character, Graham, is animated walking to the chosen destination. The fantasy world of Daventry consists of an 8×6 cyclic array of screens (or rooms) that make up the outdoor world in which the player can navigate freely, plus about 30 additional screens for indoor, sky, and underground places.
King's Quest's innovation includes 16-color graphics for the IBM PC platform. The game uses the PCjr and Tandy 1000's Video Gate Array and enhanced sound, and Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) computers can display 16-color graphics with artifact colors on a composite color monitor or television. Selecting RGB mode at the title screen instead results in the usual 320×200 CGA graphics mode, limited to 4 colors. In this mode, dithering simulates extra colors. Like previous static-screen Sierra adventures, King's Quest uses vector graphics rather than pre-rendered bitmaps, which would take far too much disk space. Each screen is drawn line-by-line and painted in. This technique is in all Sierra adventure games up to King's Quest V.
Plot
King's Quest
In the original version for the IBM PCjr, the story is simple. The Kingdom of Daventry is suffering from recent disasters and hardship. King Edward calls his bravest knight, Sir Grahame, to his throne, and tells him he has heard of three legendary treasures hidden throughout the land that would end Daventry's troubles. If Grahame succeeds, he will become king. In later releases, the knight's name was changed to Graham.
King's Quest: Quest for the Crown
Since the game's fourth release (1984) and the repackaged fifth release (1987), the backstory was greatly expanded. The Kingdom of Daventry is in serious trouble, after its precious magical items have been stolen. One day, King Edward the Benevolent rescued a beautiful young Princess Dahlia of Cumberland, but on the night of their wedding she was discovered to actually be an evil witch who stole the king's treasure. Knowing that he had to save the kingdom, the dying King Edward sends his bravest knight, Sir Graham, to Cumberland. His quest is to rid the land of the treacherous witch, outwit the other assorted villains, and retrieve the three lost treasures. Because he had no heir, if Graham should succeed, he would become the next king.
Sir Graham embarked upon a quest for the items through Daventry, climbing a magic beanstalk to the Land of the Clouds where he recovered the chest of gold, facing leprechauns to retrieve the shield and a dragon to get back the mirror. After retrieving all the items, Graham returned to the throne room in time to present them to the king before he died. As the king died, he passed on rule of Daventry to Sir Graham as promised.
Development

1990 remake
King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown is a 1990 remake of King's Quest. This release is the "Enhanced" version of King's Quest. It uses the Sierra's Creative Interpreter (SCI) engine, the same engine used in games such as King's Quest IV; while it still uses 16-color graphics, it features twice the resolution, and music card support instead of the PC speaker. There are two different box variations for this release: one with the same gold slipcover box as the 1987 256K version 2.0F and a box created specifically for the remake.
The game is described as a 1.5 (1 1/2) remake of King's Quest I.
The 1990 SCI EGA "Enhanced" version of King's Quest: Quest for the Crown was announced for the Atari ST line of computers and later canceled. It was announced via Sierra News Magazine in spring 1991, saying owners could send disk #1 or the front cover of the manual along with a check or money order for $20 to upgrade their copy to the enhanced version.
Collections
Both versions of King's Quest I have been released in assorted collections beginning with the King's Quest 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition (1994), followed by the King's Quest Collection (1995), the King's Quest Collection Series (1996) and Roberta Williams Anthology (1997). The 2006 collection lacked the original AGI version of King's Quest, and contained only the SCI remake. This version was released on Steam in 2009. The original AGI version appears in the KQ1+2+3 collection released on GOG, but the SCI remake is not included.
Fan remake
In 2001, the group AGD Interactive (then known as Tierra Entertainment) released an unofficial remake based on Sierra's 1990 version, updating the graphics to use VGA colors, dropping the parser in favor of an interface that mimics that of King's Quest V, and full speech - including the voice of the original voice actor for King Graham in Sierra's official CD-ROM full-speech versions of King's Quest V and VI, Josh Mandel. This was later updated with original hand-drawn artwork.

King's Quest: Quest for the Crown (Quête de Roi: Quête pour la Couronne) est un jeu d'aventure sorti en 1984, développé par Sierra On-Line, premier volet de la série King's Quest. Il est ressorti en 1987 en version améliorée, puis en 1989 un remake en pointer-cliquer.
C'est notoirement le premier jeu à introduire la profondeur dans un jeu d'aventure, ce qui a fait de lui un succès. La version originale tourne sur IBM PCjr.
Synopsis
Le roi de Daventry est vieux et se meurt. Avant de pousser son dernier soupir, il appelle son chevalier le plus fidèle et le plus courageux, Sire Graham. Le roi a l'intention de lui céder le trône, mais pour cela, il devra d'abord retrouver les trois grands trésors de Daventry qui, ayant fait autrefois sa gloire et sa prospérité, ont été dérobés. Ces trésors sont un miroir qui a le pouvoir de prédire le futur, un bouclier qui fait toujours gagner la guerre et un coffre qui est toujours rempli de pièces d'or. Si Graham parvient à tout restituer, il sera le nouveau roi de Daventry.

🕵️ Test (✔ ScummVM v. 2.7.0 / KQ 3.0.0) par goupildb (config. : Manjaro 64-bit) :
Le : 26 avril 2023
⏱️ Durée du test : 15 minutes.
🎯️ Objectif de ce test : rédiger/mettre à jour/valider sa notice d'installation, tester son fonctionnement et partager mes premières impressions.
Le jeu s'installe facilement et fonctionne bien. J'ai été gêné par la perspective du pont que l'on doit franchir au démarrage, et suis tombé plusieurs fois dans l'eau, dévoré par les crocodiles. Heureusement on peux sauvegarder la progression (encore faut-il penser à le faire, mais çà l'auteur ne peut rien pour vous :)). Sinon le reste ne m'a pas posé de problèmes pour ce que j'en ai vu. Je me suis même surpris à parvenir à rentrer dans le puits (copie d'écran) sans aide externe. Nota : si vous tentez de reproduire mes exploits : sauvegardez avant de rentrer dans le seau ... :))
Ce n'est pas un simple pointer-et-cliquer : pour lancer des actions vous devez lancer des commandes en mode texte (en bas de l'écran), mais finalement - au moins pour le début, ça se fait de manière naturelle, il comprend bien.
👍️ 🕹️ Conclusion :
Le jeu fonctionne bien et me semble d'excellente qualité.
👏️ ❤️ Un grand bravo et merci à son auteur !
