So... ever wanted to cast spells by basically becoming a data-entry specialist?!
Today for Ancient DOS Games, Gemini's taking a look back at King's Quest III: To Heir is Human, an inventory-based adventure developed and published by Sierra On-Line at the end of 1986 as a sequel to their prior King's Quest titles, though at first glance (and for most of the experience) it's actually kinda impossible to tell the game's related to the previous titles.

Additional Information and Corrections:
* If you'd like to grab the King's Quest I ~ III pack on GOG, follow this link:

* Of if you'd prefer to grab the entire set of King's Quest I ~ VII on Steam, follow this link:

* One thing that's kind of clever is that normally when you start a new game, the first time Manannan appears he will give you a chore to perform, however, when you watch the opening story sequence Manannan gives Gwydion a chore during it and upon starting a new game it ASSUMES you will perform that chore, thus the first time Manannan appears in gameplay IF you watched the opening cutscene will instead be a check to see if you performed that chore or not! :o
* One other bug in the game has to do with the exercise punishment. Not only does it start throwing garbage over the noise channel for the Tandy 3-Voice sound, but it sets the game speed to "Fastest" and does not set it back following. You can change the speed while the punishment occurs and after it's done the noise channel goes silent again.
