The Legend of Kyrandia (PC) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

- A playthrough of Westwood's 1993 CD "talkie" version of the graphic adventure, Fables and Fiends: The Legend of Kyrandia, for PCs running Dos.
By the early 1990s, Westwood was really beginning to hit their stride. A number of their earlier titles went somewhat ignored (and remain that way now), but around 1990 people started to take notice. Between their AD&D titles (especially the successful Eye of the Beholder games) and Dune II, they had people wondering just what would come next.
Fables and Fields: The Legend of Kyrandia certainly didn't disappoint. While it might not have been the best adventure game ever, the graphics looked fantastic for VGA circa 1992, easily rivaling Sierra and LucasArts titles at the time, and the soundtrack sounded great, no matter what sound card you were relying on to synthesize it. The puzzles (generally) made sense and were logical - as long as you ignore that horrendous cave section - and it put a darker spin on the fantasy genre than King's Quest had attempted yet.
This is the first of the trilogy, and as such, despite being quite a good game it is probably the weakest game of the three. It made for some addictive pixel hunting back in the early 90s, and it also helped further lay the foundation for later Westwood classics that were yet to be thought of (Lion King and Command & Conquer, anybody?). Well, at least until EA bought and utterly destroyed the company.
The CD upgrade was a pretty good one. Not much changed of the game itself, but the voice acting was surprisingly good for the time
- just compare it to King's Quest V and you'll see what I mean.
Anyways, this one is pretty classic, and there a lot of people who fondly remember this one at the advent of the "multimedia PC" era, and so I wanted to upload my playthrough of it.

What makes this game special is that it was an undiscovered gem, it didn't get much attention as other adventure games of the time. I have fond memories playing it back in my youth, the DOS era gaming was nothing short of magical.
But the game has a high quality. It is strange, that it didn't get noticed.
Ahh man, those people were missing out. This was one of my favs back in Jr.High.
same
@@louiszc999 yes, enjoyed the game so much
It was ok. The following parts were much better. And the fireberry puzzle was a pain in the...
This is honestly the most graphically impressive game I have ever seen, of course there are far better looking games nowadays but if you stop to think about what the artists had to work with and what they managed to accomplish here, you'll see where I'm coming from, depth of field effects in 1993, come on now.
thanks for being honest
My friend and I played this together. Man we had fun. It took us weeks. I had to wait for a map to come in the mail to navigate the firrberry part. Omg!! We laughed so hard trying to figure it out.the graphics were great and it was a fun game.
These games have so lovely graphic and atmosphere, I remember them for forever thanks to
@Mastema There was a good deal of space sims like Wing Commander and X-Wing, and also dungeon crawlers/RPGs like Wizardry and Might & Magic.
Remember drawing the sketch of the cave map on a slip of gridded paper with my childhood friend )) golden era for video games, pure awesomeness! Thank you for the upload
Shut up, nerd.
The first Kyrandia game, despite being far surpassed by the other two games in the trilogy, is stlil quite an excellent adventure game that managed to rival even the likes of Sierra and LucasArts in their heydays.
I was obsessed with this game when I was a kid. This and the NES version of Maniac Mansion got me hooked point and click adventure titles.
while i will agree that book 2: hand of fate being superior, if somewhat more fanciful; i will say that Malcolm's revenge pales in comparison.
My favorite games series growing up. This was my childhood! Seeing and hearing this is so nostalgic! Miss you 90s!
You and me both... *heavy sigh* ...you and me both.
The music in this game is just amazing. Especially at 1:00:40, after having navigated for hours through dark caves and then becoming invincible... It still gives me goose bumps :)
I love that song too. It was always on my mind sometimes even after more than 30 yrs. I hope to find this game soon on steam.
I remember playing this game as a kid, about 30 years ago. It was the perfect mix of fun, enchanting, cool, creepy, slightly humorous…The whole series was an inspiration!
Garbage shitgame
This is one of my favorite games of all time. Me and my brother spent hours playing this.
My cousins and I had to call the hotline to pass certain places and got bill over $100 after a month. We got in trouble LOL
13:47 Gos, that music! And at 20:20 🎶 The entire soundtrack is so beautiful 💚💚💚
"Oh, right. I know a lot about lifting curses. That's why I'm a disembodied talking skull sitting on top of a spike in the middle of a swamp."
Lmao Murray is one of my favorite MI characters ever:) Rolling through the gates of hell like a badass.
This brings back memory when I had my first PC in 1998.. I finished all three games without walkthrough by trials and errors. There's no internet and google back then. Good old times! Good background music and art style.
This and lands of lore were so great got me into my first PC games as a kid
This game series...we had an old Delchamps by our house when I was 11 or so that had one little stand alone rack of both VHS movies and PC games, I found this game first, the rest of them I found later at various times and places. I rented this game so often from that damn grocery store...the last time I rented it I accidentally returned something in it's place or gave them an empty case but I didn't realize it until I came upon the CD in an old desk drawer years later. By then, a decade had gone by and of course my computer didn't play D.O.S games so I forgot about it and it got lost shortly thereafter. I'd say it's been 20 years since I have seen these characters... 💞😍💞
Thank you so much, whoever you are, for being a geek and uploading such a rare treat 💋
Sarah M. I also found this game at the grocery store rental section. Fell in LOVE with it, so adorbs! Thank you kind sir for this amazing play through!
So many memories, so many people now gone.. 💚
cool
Wow, I remember this well. Nice. No voice acting on the version I played. Some people are saying there were no walkthroughs, but I know I definitely found one that told you exactly how to get through that fireberry part.
I had a book that helped me through it
@@fuzzyx2face I had to draw my own map :)
Back in the day there wasn’t internet. To get tips about games in the 90s you had to buy a magazine or call a phone number. The lines were busy all the time and the tips NEVER helped every time you called. That’s why we are the OG gamers. We had no walkthrough. No crutch of any kind. I had a flashback of the pure joy finally figuring out the fire berry bushes cave after countless hours. That’s what made me search for this video decades later. It’s crazy how the mind works.
But nothing compares to Myst. Now that is the most epic of games not being able to use a walkthrough.
Kyrandia series was awesome... Westwood studios need to be brought back!!
the best game from my Childhood can believe is been more than 30 years since I payed it
Ah, memories. I had the original floppy disk version without the talking, and there are some minor dialogue differences between the two versions!
Fight me.
"Evil exist only in the kingdom of man, the land has no evil, and thus no defence against it" .
I randomly remembered this game. I'm so glad someone uploaded this. The music is different than what I remember, but still, thanks for the memories!
As a kid, this game ended in the firebush maze - I was so lost.
thats my youth right there
I loved this game when I was young. It seemed magical. Thanks for sharing.
Shut up.
Can we please get an awesome game like this today? So many feels...
Shame on EA for destroying the studio.
Loved this one, but FUCK that caves section. Good god. Also I thought an evil jester was a pretty weak big bad, but the other games in the series kinda went off the chain with some things, especially the Hand of Fate.
Thank you uploading this. Brings back so many memories
Those Dos games were indeed magical. Made your imagination fly as for a kid. Seeing mobile games nowdays makes me want to vomit.
"This is probably a poor choic" haha hilarious save point
I still remember mapping out the cave on paper.
An excellent game, especially the incredible soundtrack - a perfect example of early-90s PC game music.
I was playing this game when I was too young and didn't know the language. So I haven't progress, much but it was so magical
I remember playing this game when I was 9! Great game
Wow! You make lot's of playthroughts in short period of time! Great dedication i wish i had the same energy :D
I had this game and I think still have this disc but scratched to the point its unusuable. I was struggling with the cave part when I was 8 and gave up due no avail walkthroughts. After 30 years I find this jewel. Thanks a lot, I always wanted to see how it ends ☺️ happy new year 2024
I remember playing this game even before i could read or understand english. I was always telling my mom to help me read it. I was 4 or 5 years old maybe 6...
I absolutely love the Legend of Kyrandia series (the first being my favorite - I found Brandon's dialogue throughout the game to be so great!), although I feel like Legend of Kyrandia 2 was better designed (no mazes! Less random!) but Legend of Kyrandia 3... and the Cat Island is... a nightmare! I recently finished all three (long play and commentary) on my channel.
The music of my childhood 😍
my older brother gave this to us back in 1993 or 1994, and I could barely play it and never made it past the caves, always dying in the dark lol, but I loved the world it created, the visuals were cool and I liked the music and loved the gemstones theme. I remember trying to load it on a windows 98 OS and was so disappointed I couldn't figure out how to make that work
I was lucky that my grandma bought me the guide book so I could get through the caves, I got stuck there before getting the book though
Those were the days man. Being 11, 12, 13 playing good Westwood games with great atmosphere and artwork and music. Having to solve puzzles without using the internet to look it up because even though it was around you didn't have it in your home yet. Our generation got lucky. Kids today don't get games like the Kyrandia series or Lands of Lore, and you can tell. Games like this had a subtle but real effect on our minds and our psyche, in a positive way.
Yes, we played Doom and Wolfenstein 3D as well. But we still had games like this.
Great! Keep it up!
Fuck that cave section tho.
The dreaded fire berry cave! Must have died and restored 100 times the first time I played this game. :p
I love your comment about Malcom hanging himself in Wing Commander 4 lol
I played the shit out of this game, but obviously never discovered I could turn into a Pegasus. Watching all the convoluted puzzles after that, I could only shake my head. The first 90 of the game is sheer backtracking, way more than I'd remembered. But there's no way I'd have gotten through all the hidden items and secret four digit codes. Holy hell. With no real Internet to look any of these up, it's no wonder I never finished. Great to watch though, especially Brandon just sucker punching Malcom. Thanks!
It's garbage shitgame that's all
Eat me.
Sweet memories! I live in Ukraine and for some reason we had subtitles only version with music, I have never heard their voices till today.
Timbermist Woods is such a banger track
Awesome game and good memories
it was always the midi soundtrack which makes this kind of games classic and cult. also all the sierra adventure games like larry and quest for glory III in my case. Fate of atlantis from lucasarts another masterpiece. today we have too much graphics, but this confy gameplay isnt there anymore.
1:53:11 Malcolm has no idea that 3 years later, Brandon will become the leader of Nod and go for the Tiberium War.
LOVE IT THANKYOU
I had this game!! Omg.
The music is so goood!!
"Amulet, what amulet?"
this game was at my daycare as a kid. I remember always dying for some reason the save file was really far but it was stuck at the part just before the ice cave where the wizard straight up blasts you. I forget what to do but i saw someone do it once. i also distinctly remember the poison apples lol
TIL that Brandon was voiced by Kane from C&C.
I can't believe I struggled through the berries before there was internet. It was so tedious!
Awesome!
The game is amazing.
amaizing work. all diakogues '
I learned English playing games like this.
Is that... YES! KANE LIVES!!!
The music scared me. I was playing around age 9
Тогда у игр была душа... это относится и к Кирандии 2. Очень душевные игры.
I miss the times when the protagonist was just a bumbling buffoon...
i remember owning this game. I didn't have the manual though so the copy protection kept screwing me ;-;
Now have to hunt your channel for Loom TM now :)
Ok, it’s been a long time, and I’ve read the comments...I’m here, asking, about Loom TM. ;o)
And remind me, which game was Murray in? I also didn’t get the Xantham gum reference. Do tell!
I believe Murray was a character in Monkey Island 2
My name is BRANDON sir, not Bandon, or..or Cramdon, and no I have not tried playing the flute yet.
Malcolm Is a Joker, Imagine that they put Darth Vader holding baby Ezra Bridger in his pocket baby in this videogame
Какой отличный юмор у того, кто проходил игру! Прямо ответ для авторов игры)
first time i see this game but i like
Ahhh 1985 😌
Played it through for the first time only recently (I beat Hand of Fate -my introduction to the series - about 25 years ago). The infamous maze section is actually not that impossible to get through, if you map it out as you go along. However, I WAS forced to consult a walkthrough at the end on the couple of puzzles (the bookshelves and the musical instrument one) whose solutions are so insanely random and obtuse they are outright sadistic in their difficulty! Sheesh...
How in the world did you figure out the cave part? I could never get thru that when I was young.
Love fireberries bit
This is where Kane's true origin
I remember this game. Also wasn't the trilogy the same story except it was played on 3 different perspective of the same story?
Hanferd They're parts of the same story, but iirc Hand of Fate takes place a fair time later than this one
I couldn't even get past the first forest back in the day, without walkthrough available. On the other hand, I could enjoy better Hand of fate and Malcolm's revenge, albeit with walkthroughs.
i remember a game very similar to this, but there was a rope you could walk on to the left. anyone has any idea what it could have been?
No. You're just stupid
This is the best adventure game ever.
look at all the PC games you made so far
Gavin Graham Yeah, the playlist has quite a bit on it now. This one makes PC game #151 :)
NintendoComplete what's next?
Gavin Graham You'll see soon enough. Don't wanna spoil the surprise! lol
i never seen one of those games before nintendocomplete
Good times
Serious question; Did Westwood ever give an official walkthrough? because I cannot understand how they expected kids to solve some of those daunting puzzles and dark caves. also Malcolm clearly was a bad guy and turned this dude into a stone so how was he forgived so easily in the third book without even mentioning it -_-
Thumbed down by malcolm, merith, nolby, and accidentally by darm
Loved this game growing up.
What do you mean by “He did hang himself WC4” at 20:20?
Oh haha. In Wing Commander IV, the emperor who's played by Malcolm McDowell hangs himself in his prison cell.
Whoa I don’t remember all these voice lines
I love the music, the graphics, and the overall presentation of the game, everything except the impossibly difficult puzzles that they throw in at random intervals; puzzles so mind-boggingly cryptic that you would need a player's guide just to advance! Shame really!
Kind of reminds me of the Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade adventure game
And monkey island
Thanks for the help. I forgot how totally unintuitive games were back in the day.. Even worse in the 80s.
Боже до меня только к 31 году дошло, что сцена с Джоном Гейси и стереотипным магом - это отсылка к Индиане Джонсу...
11:47 CLOD!
That voice.. Sounds exactly like the merchant from Dark Souls.. Funny
I never made it past the cave...
fully watched, its final a bit cliche but cmon was the 90s xD
Brynn < Zanthia
Ha hof at the lava world was my favorite map the t rex and Teddy bear part with the triceratops too
man they just dont make em like this anymore ='(
A truly magical game, kind of a shame that they added the caves, I played it when I was like 5 and my brain was clever enough to get to the caves but the caves just scared me and seemed impossible, I didnt have the brilliant idea of making my own map back then, I basically just gave up. The game is perfect up to the caves and then it felt a bit mazey and rushed later on.
Ye its garbage shitgame
