They took it upon themselves to modernize King's Quest I by adding beautiful VGA graphics, an intuitive mouse/icon interface, and 16 bit sound. And this is where Tierra Entertainment stepped in. It received an EGA counterpart, which still had a parser interface, which by now looks very dated as well. This honour befell King's Quest as well, but a lot sooner than the aforementioned series. Sierra has always been aware of this problem, and has released revamped versions of most of its long-running series. By now most, if not all adventure gamers have grown used to an icon-based interface, and colorful SVGA backgrounds.
Nowadays, due to the heavy changes in computer hardware, the games look dreadfully dated, and only the great gameplay remains. This is because each King's Quest game was both a technical masterpiece, and a masterpiece of gameplay. Sierra's King's Quest series is most definitely one of the best known, and most loved adventure game series ever.
