Asking the crying lady at the grave tomb if she was okay was probably the biggest mistake I made playing this game as a non English speaking 7 year old. That creepy voice and the woman turning around revealing herself which made rosella go into shock screaming in terror traumatised me as a child. :')
Oh those childhood memories coming back to me watching this. Lots of frustrating moments when you didn't know where to go and what to do. Back then there was no walkthroughs or guides to rely on so you pretty much had to figure things out by your own. Many times you got very lucky by randomly clicking things you never thought would actually lead to anything. I'm still occasionally humming to the music in this. Guess it's just too memorable to forget after all these years.
I loved the game because it was like playing a cartoon. That's what it felt like as a kid. The only other game similar that came out was Dragons Lair but that was mostly pretty animated scenes with frustrating reaction based events. Something would flicker and you had to press a button or time things just right. It was more of a movie than a game.
I think it's the fifth time watching this. lol. It's just so relaxing and I love the graphics! I'm a 24 year old Swedish guy and I played this game when I was a kid :) So nostalgic...How come everyone dislike this game? It's pure magic! :D -BTW the song in the beginning makes me feel sad and lonely, like, I was there :|
wow... so strange. i think that i'm so weird when i do stuff like watch this game play out to relax and, kind of, get my imagination activated. i never imagined that there are people so much like i am in this regard. i also like to watch king's quest 2 remake with commentary by the rpg chick. she's very quiet and doesn't get in the way of the story and imagination of the game. the commentary she does provide is cute and low key.
I liked this game too. I've watched this probably 4 times and beaten it countless times. I don't remember what happened to my family's copy or how we got it in the first place, but I'm buying it again from an online website.
It's really clever what they tried to do with the animation on this game. Unfortunately I think the technology of the time simply wasn't up to it. Also, Rosella be struttin' like she's walking the catwalk.
31:15 I know they're trying to be all like "Trolls are backwards and like disgusting stuff and hate nice smelling stuff" but I can't get the idea of the stinky flower from KQ6 out of my head.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. Spent plenty of time as a kid playing this game. Funny how I remember the sounds, music and scenes as it plays like it was yesterday!
i played this 15 years ago or something, and i spend HOURS and HOurs walking through that dessert in the beginning, one of the most frustrating games i ever played, i litterally felt Lost! ahh Nostalgia :).
Thats because you played it for prob a hour or two, got annoyed then never played it again Jonas. Back in those days the games were designed for people who didn't expect that answers to just fart themselves into your hand.
ZeliardFTW haha whats with your agression? I was a young kid back then, and i loved the game, and no i didn't just try it fo a short time and stopped, i love difficult and challenging games. new games are mostly to casual for me. You are highly presumptious, shame on you!
Thanks for posting this Yzzyxz! I remember playing this game when I was a kid, and even though I cannot compare it to other King Quest games, I do recall that the same company that created this game also did "Torin's Passage", and I absolutely loved that game. What can I say? Those were different times with different standards, and because of that we are able to appreciate the memories and the uniqueness in which these were made and created. So, thanks again for spending time to post these videos!
This game gets way too much hate. Honestly, I like the graphics and overall style much better than the other games. The story is amazing, the scenery is beautiful, the music is catchy, the characters are interesting... I can forgive the few plot holes because this is one of my favorite games of all time!
***** I was actually referring to other King's Quest games. I was thinking more of the people even more nostalgic than me, who prefer the pixellated graphics of the earlier KQ games with its old interface and separate cursors for different actions. But that said, I agree with you about the state of modern adventure video games and I do love the bright colors and characters of KQ7!
***** I never knew there were remakes of those! I have played the Silver Lining though, and I only looked at KQ8 but I agree it seems really weird. Thanks for the tip, I'll have to look up those other ones! :)
I can't fathom how you feel that way, but I respect your choice. Personally, 6 is the pinnacle, and 7 a giant disappointment, but that's just my opinion.
LadyMeikoDubs I can't play it :/ The game is hard to find were I live...and my computer is very new so I don't think you can play this game on it :/ sorry for a late answer xD
ı ąɱ ą ʂῳɛɖɛ LOL I'm swedish too :D hur gammal är du? Spelade du spelet när det producerades? (tror inte det med tanke på att du ser jätteung ut, men vem vet haha). Spelade det när jag var runt 12 år gammal...är 24 nu. Om du inte svarar, ha det jättebra!
Actually... Since you mention it... Let’s do some math. If Alexander was 17 in ‘86 and Rosella was his twin, that means she would have been 17 in ‘86 too. This figures out to both Alexander and Rosella being 50 in 2019.
oh yes finally found it.. i played this game when i was little.. but sadly lost it always rember the princes and troll part but couldnt find the game back because i forgot the title. so thank you for putting in one youtube
After watching some kings quest let’s plays in the past couple weeks it has reawakened my love for these old games. I think I’m going to buy a computer that I can play them on.
@@ricksmith4894 all but I know why this level scared people it’s because of a certain particular nasty fellow they had tendency to pop out of the ground at random locations
In 1994 I was 6 years old and this game came with our first home pc. I remember my oldest brother 13 years old saying smack the prickly fruit with the stick! And it worked we we’re all so excited… love everything about king’s Quest 7 till this day. And made me play the previous games as well.
I don't understand all the hate this game is getting in the comments?! My sister and I loved playing it as kids. It had the perfect mix of funny scenes and scary scenes. So many snobs in these comments...SMH...
I loved watching as my mum played this game when I was a child, it's so eerie and full of details. For those wondering, it's no longer sold so you can download it for free on abandonware websites.
I remember playing this game as a kid and was so utterly lost. I couldn't figure out how to do anything and move forward in the game lol. The days before walkthroughs being available online and what not. It didn't help that I skipped chapters and got even more lost XD
There’s another option towards the end of the game, when you use the device to shrink Malicia(?), there’s an option to do the same to her dog so it turns into a puppy so they both start young again.
I played this game with my sister on an old(brand new then) Compaq desktop with Windows 95. I loved it, but some parts scared the hell out of a 5 year old me. I've been trying to find out the name of this game for the last 15 years when this video came up on my recommendations.
15:48 where was the "hint" in the game to figure this out?! I remember being a 10-yr-old kid who never knew what to do in this section?! Were you just meant to play around with the gems and discover the correct order through trial-and-error? Or was there some hint about the gem color order i missed?! So frustrating! Grr...
I cannot like this enough. I literally have the disc set which I cannot play since I do not have a compatable system but Ive been missing this game for more than a decade. Thamk you!!
Download DosBox and you can play it on a current system. I have the King's Quest collection CD's and after installing them I can play them through that DosBox program.
This playthrough was my first look at this game. Don't see what some of the commenters are complaining about. The only think that might have irked me was the imposed linearity, which is something KQ6 didn't have. The puzzles seemed to be sufficiently difficult, as well as the item combinations.
I bought the game like 8-10 years ago and printed off a walkthrough jus incase I couldn't figure out what to do. I got to the part with the dragon and it's scales and I followed the walkthrough's instruction. Alas, I couldn't get further in the game. I hope your Playthrough let's me continue and finally finish the game.
oh I had no idea what was going on, it was way to advanced for me at that age and I dont think I made much progress but I remember playing it for hours just walking around clicking things lol
I can't manage to make it run on my new computer, which is incredibly sad. I was a mere child when I played this game for the first time and have loved it ever since :(
You might be able to get it to work using Dosbox. was able to get a lot of windows 98 programs working using this method. I lost my kings quest game(s) :( but I play a lot of other classics--PQ2 and 3 Tycoon Trasnport.
Nice game and is not bad, but if we compare it with the previous KQ6 I think it would be a step backwards for Sierra KQ6 was very interesting it has wonderful story and it is serious .. I think KQ7 took the turn so that the game has become very comic and comedy and this thing I did not like it Thank you to uploading the fullplay video
I hope I can buy this before the month of October, this year (2022). I want to play it during the month of Halloween. I really want to see the death mistakes in the game.
I've got the King's Quest Collection but this doesn't work with that because you need DOS or something like that. HOWEVER, I DID find a copy downloadable for free online that comes with this DOS Box thing that basically simulates DOS so that the game can play for you.
This brings back so many memories of my childhood. I was absolutely in love with this game!! Anyone know if there are any versions for Mac and where I can find it?
quicker2006 as a kid i used to really like him. his wife still is one of my favorite characters in the whole sierra realm, right after edgar (that damn hot bad boy lol)
sierra's game making philosophy. 1. you cant have the sound effects even in CD versions 2. music cant be disabled to make you hallucinate to think the games have sound effects 3. walk is too slow to play only in this game 4. you cant bypass their ads and logos 5. all garbages
Asking the crying lady at the grave tomb if she was okay was probably the biggest mistake I made playing this game as a non English speaking 7 year old. That creepy voice and the woman turning around revealing herself which made rosella go into shock screaming in terror traumatised me as a child. :')
This games takes me back! My mother and I would play these together when I was young.
Iwasthewalrus Same here!
Iwasthewalrus ironically same
How curious i to played this game with my mother when i was a kid
I played KQ6 with my father, but he didn't like KQ7 enough to help me long-term. I never got past chapter 4 with the forest trip.
Likewise... Good times lol
Oh those childhood memories coming back to me watching this.

I'm still occasionally humming to the music in this. Guess it's just too memorable to forget after all these years.
It's scary how many of these tunes I still hum today without even realizing it.
I loved the game because it was like playing a cartoon. That's what it felt like as a kid. The only other game similar that came out was Dragons Lair but that was mostly pretty animated scenes with frustrating reaction based events. Something would flicker and you had to press a button or time things just right. It was more of a movie than a game.
Dragon's Lair was Quick Time Event: The Game.
It was honestly ahead of its time considering how QTEs have become so prevalent in action games today.
Watching these KIng's Quest playthroughs in HD and full screen make me feel like actually playing them again. :)
For the time this game was an achievement! It still blows my mind how well done it was.
The animation, the music, the voice-overs, everything was so ambitious and yes, well done.
It was good then - now it's pure magic.
I think it's the fifth time watching this. lol. It's just so relaxing and I love the graphics! I'm a 24 year old Swedish guy and I played this game when I was a kid :) So nostalgic...How come everyone dislike this game? It's pure magic! :D

Same here since 2007
This game got some wonderful moments in it how sweet of the lonely traveler to help her
I played this game when I was a kid, but did not play KQ 1-6. I really enjoyed this one.
This is a trip down memory lane, I still remember the scorpion scaring me so bad as a kid
I was so afraid by this Game when i was young and Im still 😂
Why?
It's really clever what they tried to do with the animation on this game. Unfortunately I think the technology of the time simply wasn't up to it.
Also, Rosella be struttin' like she's walking the catwalk.
"You are surrounded by dust. And it is dust you will become" Grimdark. Mate i only asked where i was.
Sir, this is a wendy's.
31:15
I know they're trying to be all like "Trolls are backwards and like disgusting stuff and hate nice smelling stuff" but I can't get the idea of the stinky flower from KQ6 out of my head.
Wonderfull! I never managed to finish the quest, so I am glad to find out several years later that the Princeless Bride got her prince.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. Spent plenty of time as a kid playing this game. Funny how I remember the sounds, music and scenes as it plays like it was yesterday!
i played this 15 years ago or something, and i spend HOURS and HOurs walking through that dessert in the beginning, one of the most frustrating games i ever played, i litterally felt Lost!
ahh Nostalgia :).
And i never even got to see the ending xD
*****
you were the king of the world ! :)
Thats because you played it for prob a hour or two, got annoyed then never played it again Jonas. Back in those days the games were designed for people who didn't expect that answers to just fart themselves into your hand.
ZeliardFTW
haha whats with your agression?
I was a young kid back then, and i loved the game, and no i didn't just try it fo a short time and stopped, i love difficult and challenging games.
new games are mostly to casual for me.
You are highly presumptious, shame on you!
I ultimately relied on a cheat webpage. But I got through almost all of chapter 5 on my own!
this game always gave me anxiety, probably due to the music.
+steynbeysser I'm happy to say I can't relate to that at all. XD
the askreddit thread on internet white whales finally got me to find mine: this game.
The scorpion deaths have scarred me for almost 20 years.
Imagine trying to play it when you were 8. XD
Can relate i made so many nightmares due to this game

My favorite part of this game is listening to Colin Farwalker. Whomever that voice actor is, he has such a soothing voice.
Yeah I remember this game I was like "what happened to kings quest" it felt so empty and different.

It's just the death scenes that freaked me out. For a game that looks like Disney animation, the death scenes are hella disturbing.
@@kglaser11 i totally agree. but there are aspects of kq7 i like, such as ooga booga land.
I want to play this game so bad...i remember when i was 11, loved this game.
I Would do anything...just to play it once
+LadyMeikoDubs now you can ;)

You can get the whole collection easily on Steam. :)
lets say Rosella was 20 in '94 (the year this game was released). she'd be 41 this year
Actually... Since you mention it... Let’s do some math.
If Alexander was 17 in ‘86 and Rosella was his twin, that means she would have been 17 in ‘86 too. This figures out to both Alexander and Rosella being 50 in 2019.
This is an alright game but DAMN, Chicken Little is more annoying than Cedric and Jollo put together.

Miss this game, but scared the shit out of me as a kid. It's like intended for adults but with the element of dry humor
If you want to play it again, a collection of the KQ games are available (which work with modern computers) for around $6 on gog.com
RyManda or just type in ...”play kings quest 7 online” now and you can play most games in your browser

3 cliché's in Falderal 1. bull in a china shop; 2. the snake oil salesman 3. the phrase "Be sure to the take the pawn shop with a grain of salt"
There’s another option towards the end of the game, when you use the device to shrink Malicia(?), there’s an option to do the same to her dog so it turns into a puppy so they both start young again.
Yeah I do that all of the time.

I'm glad I watched this instead of playing it. 2x speed helps too.
FINALLY A WALKTHROUGH WITH NO COMENTARY
This and Myst were my first PC games. Old school pc gaming.
Where is she keeping all this??? Under her dress?? lol. Loved this game.
Where is anyone keeping anything in a kings quest game?
@@EmmaBonn96 Canonically, Graham has a cloak his mother made, with "many pockets of many sizes". As for everyone else, I'm not really sure.
wow, i used to play this with my mom and sister when i was a kid. i can still hear the music in my head lol.
How did you get the opening cinematic full-screen? I could only get in in a little tiny window in the middle of the screen.
15:48 where was the "hint" in the game to figure this out?! I remember being a 10-yr-old kid who never knew what to do in this section?!

never finished the game because i couldnt understand english back then but really loved it and i am so glad i found it back
I was 7 when this came out and it was amazing, younger kids were definitely the target market but it was a great game
***** I was 34 when I got into it!
wolf52525 younger than 7?? i don t think so!!

Ry Nicotera What is it called? :)
1:24:10 the gravedigger is also the voice of the pirate who runs the restaurant in secret of monkey island
very coooooooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it would of been better if Rosella and Valanice walk faster. The was no excuse for taking 5 minutes to walk across the screen.
Nice game and is not bad, but if we compare it with the previous KQ6 I think it would be a step backwards for Sierra
KQ6 was very interesting it has wonderful story and it is serious .. I think KQ7 took the turn so that the game has become very comic and comedy and this thing I did not like it
Thank you to uploading the fullplay video
there's a new kings quest "king's quest a knight to remember"
Danmarie Inting no way!!! Thanks for the info
thank you for uploading.
the chicken said "Oh, Bock"
After a bit of research I found out that this game was animated by the same people who did the Zelda CDI game The Wand of Gamelon.
I hope I can buy this before the month of October, this year (2022). I want to play it during the month of Halloween. I really want to see the death mistakes in the game.

Maybe you should realise that your about 4 years old and some people played this before your MY little pony dominated your mind.
Not sure what your comment means, but thanks.
I remember this wonderful game. It was the peak of Sierra gaming.
As someone who hasn't played KQ7 till now I have to say I really like this game
that headless horseman used to scare the crap out of me!
quicker2006 as a kid i used to really like him. his wife still is one of my favorite characters in the whole sierra realm, right after edgar (that damn hot bad boy lol)
How were you able to record the General MIDI? Did you use a program other than the internal dosbox recorder?
It's a pity nowadays, you don't have to be magically turned into a troll, you only have to type.something.. Oh well. ;)
Just Troll down... I mean scroll down to see some of my comments. Couldn't troll more about your trolling about trolling or mis trolling.
I played this for hours and hours as kid and never made it further than 30 min into this video
brings good memoires when my mom let me watch her play this game so fun to watch
So much nostalgia from this game.
good grafics
Lol I used to love the noise the rat made at 29:50
Ya know....the princess straight up killed that troll at 35:30 O_O
It's got like a Disney vibe going on. Best game ever.😊
this game brings back so many amazing memories wow
I wasn't sure about it at first because of the disney-esque graphics but glad I continued because it was a really good game.
Thank you for posting!! :D
huge KQ fan from way back, and never had the desire to play this one .. looks like it went downhill sharply after KQ6
@ 7:25, I WISH corn grew that fast
how did you take the crystal dragon scale when you chiseled the ground and not the dragon?
Loved this game! I just remember being SO annoyed because they moved so slow 😂
lovely how fifi le yipyap instantly goes "ew" when eyeing valanice the first time
Can you still play this on todays computers? I miss this game was my favorite but I never got to finish it.
You can get it on Good Old Games for modern OSes
MEMORIES!!!! HOLY SHIT
Was the whole universe of this game based on real life myths and stories, or was it pretty much its own story?
Never could get past the desert. Now I can!!!! hahaha
can I download this game from somewhere? For Mac preferably!
Good Old Games!
omg the MEMORIES
Those four fingers she has!
sierra's game making philosophy.
1. you cant have the sound effects even in CD versions
2. music cant be disabled to make you hallucinate to think the games have sound effects
3. walk is too slow to play only in this game
4. you cant bypass their ads and logos
5. all garbages
