Localisation:

Programmed with tender loving care by The Odd Gentlemen, King's Quest is a five-part adventure series that reinvents one of the most ground-breaking game series ever with quirky characters, witty puzzles, and the unique humour of Sierra's legendary classic.

In Chapter 1: A Knight to Remember, an ageing King Graham tells his granddaughter Gwendolyn about his life of adventure, and takes the player back to the days of his youth, when he first set out to become a knight at the court of King Edward in Daventry.

Translators and actors alike found it a great joy to adapt this game's many plays on words for German players, and to bring the charismatic characters' sometimes absurd conversations to life.

"Was? Du machst wohl Witze, Greg. Unter welchem Fels hast du denn gehaust? Erkennst du nicht dieses wohlproportionierte Gesicht?"

"Jeder Ritter in spe bringe uns als Trophäe bitte ein ... Auge eines scheußlichen Untiers. Gemäß Proklamation 1748.2 muss es tatsächlich ein scheußliches Untier sein. Wir akzeptieren keine Augen von knuffigen, flauschigen oder possierlichen Tierchen."
