* ICantUseTheseThingsTogether: "This will not work."
* InNameOnly: It has virtually nothing to do with the other titles. Not entirely true, the basic plotline is inspired by elements of KQ1, KQ5, and KQ6. Connor is a rustic knight on a quest to save his king, much like the plot of first game. The world exploration and 'random' monsters has more influence from the first and 2nd games (which took place in very large maps, with lots of empty, unused space). The main plot to defeat the BigBad and and restore the CosmicKeystone is framed around the plot to save Daventry and King Graham and his family. The town of Daventry visited in the game is a location mentioned in previous material (mainly manuals and books) but never yet shown in the games. Graham and Valanice are shown in the game with artwork taken from KQ6 (although modified). According to WordOfGod, Roberta had said that the linear nature of the story and way Connor visits the worlds was inspired by the format used in the fifth game. The combat although not common in previous games, was inspired by the random enemies Graham encountered in the first two games (but was too "weak" to fight), and the swashbuckling sequence at the end of the sixth game. The game like previous games in the series has the character encountering creatures of myth and fairytale (mostly myth). Connor's starting outfit is essentially a ripoff of Graham's "rustic knight/Ranger" wardrobe minus the hat (see also Alexander's wardrobe in the fifth game, infact Connor and Alexander look like they could be SeparatedatBirth, as they appear very similar). Like previous games, Daventry is not the main focus, rather most of the game takes place in new lands (each with their own theme), closer to later games, especially the seventh game in that respect. Interestingly enough Connor and Graham are both referred to as "Sir Knight" in first game's remake and in the eighth game respectively. Connor and Alexander of the sixth game have a tendancy to make many of the same 'oaths', including Zounds.
* InvisibleMonster: One of these attacks you in the Frozen Reaches. It serves as a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere as well.

''King's Quest: Mask of Eternity'' is the eighth and so far last official game in the ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'' series. It was a notable departure from the previous AdventureGame format, and included fewer puzzles and more hack-and-slash action elements. It was also the franchise's first attempt at a 3D game. While it was moderately well-received in its time, it effectively killed the franchise-- although to be fair, the crash of the adventure game industry might have had something to do with that, as well. Roberta Williams, creator and chief designer of the ''King's Quest'' series, was dissatisfied with the hack-and-slash elements, feeling they had been forced into the game; she left {{Sierra}} shortly after the completion of development.

This is the first game where you play as someone other than a member of the Daventry royal family. You are Conner, a young tanner who has a date with destiny. A piece of a mystical artifact called the Mask of Eternity falls at Connor's feet; at the same time, the entire kingdom of Daventry is turned to stone. To save the country, Connor must find all the pieces of the broken Mask and restore them to the Realm of Sun, all while slicing his way through enemies.

''King's Quest: Mask of Eternity'' (also known as King's Quest 8: Mask of Eternity, or simply KQ8) is the eighth and so far last official game in the ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'' series. It was a notable departure from the previous AdventureGame format, and while it included about the same number of puzzles as previosu game, they were overshadowed by more hack-and-slash Diablo-like RPG elements. It was also the franchise's first attempt at a 3D game. While it was moderately well-received in its time, the crash of the adventure game industry killed the series (along with several other Sierra IPs). Roberta Williams, creator and chief designer of the ''King's Quest'' series, had been one of those who had come up with the idea to add action elements to the game (though in hindsight, some years later, she is not sure it was the right decision).

This is the first game where you play as someone other than a member of the Daventry royal family. You are Conner, a young tanner and lesser knight, who has a date with destiny. A piece of a mystical artifact called the Mask of Eternity falls at Connor's feet; at the same time, the entire kingdom of Daventry is turned to stone. To save the country, Connor must find all the pieces of the broken Mask and restore them to the Realm of Sun, all while slicing his way through enemies.
