More Games like King's Quest Series?

Post by Shillitron »

Maybe not strictly a Roleplaying game series but I am curious - what are some cozy games like King's quest? Ideally around the time of King's Quest 3 or 4. Not really interested in 1960 mspaint pixel graphics and definitely not the 3D ****. Just that peek era of nice 16-32 bit graphic art work.

:wizard:


I know there are RPG's like Lands of Lore, etc.. but I'm looking more for games with that Exploration / Adventure vibe with a character on the screen walking around.

Quest for Glory nails exactly what I was looking for. Acrux always brings the goods.

Legend of Kyrandia 1-3
Dragonsphere

Creators of Quest for Glory made similar game called Hero-U some years ago and it's currently on sale on GOG:

Edit: And perhaps Sierra's Conquests of the Longbow.

Edit 2: Lure of the Temptress might be as well, and it's free on GOG:

No tutorials, no hand-holding, no cinematic cutscenes, just pure joy of experiencing and discovering!

The Black Cauldron was a lot of fun, but I don't know if it had VGA. It may be a little old for your tastes.
