    CIS 587 – Assignment 2 – Game Evaluation Title: Kings Quest 3 - To Heir is Human Written by Roberta Williams Programmed by Al Lowe, Bob Kernaghan, Robert E. Heitman Graphics by Doug MacNeill, Mark Crowe Published by: Sierra On-Line Type of Game: Graphical Text Adventure Price: $7-$15 on ebay.com. $25 for the collection. $49.99 originally. Minimum stated hardware requirements: 256K RAM, compatible operating system Actual hardware required: The independent interpreter Sarien (http://sarien.sourceforge.net/) runs on MS-DOS, Win32, BeOS, QNX and several Unix flavours (including Linux, Solaris, IRIX and *BSD), AmigaOS, MacOS X and WinCE for PocketPC. So any hardware that runs a processor comparable to the minimum stated should run this game perfectly. The default sierra interpreter may only works well under MS-DOS, but did execute in Windows 2000. Game Summary • Quick overview King’s Quest 3: To Heir is Human (KQ3) was third adventure in Sierra’s long running King’s Quest adventure line. It had a number of positive advancements made both in terms of story and graphics over any other adventure games available at the time. KQ3, for it’s time, had the most superior graphic adventure engine available (Sierra’s AGI [Adventure Game Interpreter] engine) and improved greatly on the first two games by having a story driven quest and constant suspense. Also notable, the designer of this game, Roberta Williams, is the only well known female game designer, and also still the highest selling ever female designer. She authored most of my favorite childhood and teenage gaming adventures. • Story line KQ3 was a tale of a young boy who was kidnapped as a child and enslaved by the evil Wizard Manannan.

  • Jasmine Lopez History of Computer Game Design Case History March 18, 2002
    Jasmine Lopez History of Computer Game Design Case History March 18, 2002 Graphics in Adventure Games The very first computers amazed people with their computational ability, but there was nothing to see, nothing visible to present to an audience. Many of the first computer games were developed in response to this dilemma. Spacewar was one of these games; the goal of the original development of Spacewar was to produce a graphical representation that could be manipulated by the user. The graphical representation allowed people to actually see what the computer was doing, and interact with the computer in ways that had not been possible before1. Graphics, and more specifically the ability to graphically represent something on a computer screen, became the foundation for the computer games industry. As each new advance in graphical technology became available, new games are developed to make use of the new representational capabilities. In the field of computer games, graphics were originally far behind the graphics available in the console game industry, but as the demand for computer games has increased so have the graphical capabilities of home computers, as well as the software support for graphics. Because graphics are an integral part of the computer game industry, changes in the graphics industry has also been one of the driving forces behind many of the changes in the computer game industry. The adventure game genre is one that has been drastically affected by the development of computer graphics. Originally presented in text only format, adventure games are now developed in detailed 3D polygon rendering. One series of adventure games that has run the gamut from primitive 16 color two dimensional sprites to three dimensional polygon rendered presentation is the series King’s Quest by Sierra Entertainment, formerly Sierra On-Line, originally founded in the late 1970s as On-Line systems by Roberta and Ken Williams2.
