In fact, I've seen the gorgeous-looking 3Dfx version running and it looks even better than Zelda on the Nintendo 64. It's not entirely dissimilar to the Zelda games on Super Nintendo, except obviously in glorious 3D. Puzzle-solving is to 'get physical' with his environment by twonking things with the various weapons at his disposal in order to trigger events elsewhere. The new lead character (Connor) is a far more believable hero and his approach to The 'cutesy' element inherent in the series so far which has charmed some, and reduced others to lengthy puke-orama sessions, has more or less disappeared completely. Hence Sierra's complete change in approach to the latest episode in their long-running King's Quest series. In fact, top Sierra bod Ken Williams has publicly admitted that people don't want point-and-click adventures anymore, they want Tomb Raider, they want Quake, they want games in which you blow things up and where the most taxing puzzling element you'll come across is activating a switch by shooting at it with an enormous gun. Sierra are very quick to acknowledge this. The traditional point-and-click puzzler has been knocked sideways with the arrival of 3D classics like Tomb Raider and, er, the forthcoming Tomb Raider 2 (cough). The game just begs any gamer to play it over and over again! I even find myself committing suicide just to see the animation in hell, or to see how Alexander dies.Adventure Games As We Used To Know them have all but disappeared without trace. And once again Sierra has succeeded in making King's Quest 6 the most beautiful of all the KQ games. This game introduces yet another feature in the series: 3D video animation. He is now trapped alone in a foreign land, fighting impossible odds to find the love he has sought for such a long time. The ship is stranded on the cliffs, and Alexander is washed up on a nearby beach. Filled with hope, he commands the ship into the bay, not knowing how treacherous these waters are. Looking at the stars, he knows he is nearing his destination, and soon land is spotted on the horizon. Time passes, and eventually he and his crew have sailed far beyond any known lands and are in uncharted waters, but Alexander refuses to give up hope.
Prince Alexander is still haunted by memories of the lovely Princess of the Green Isles (see KQ5), and when the magic mirror shows him her whereabouts, he sets out to find her at once, with only the stars for navigation.
