Added DiffLines:

* NintendoHard: The beanstalk (in the original EGA version, that is). And some of the puzzles as well.
** Grabbing the damn eagle in the remake. You have to jump as precisely the right time, as it's swooping down. Though you have to time yourself a few seconds before it swoops down, and you have to be standing in the exact right spot.

* ItsPopularNowItSucks: ''King's Quest'' is '''very''' important for the history of gaming; however, it's too dated and frustrating for some to enjoy it at face value today. The FanRemake makes it much more accessible.

* VindicatedByHistory: The official remake is much better regarded these days, and served as the basis for the well-received fan remake. Video game remakes are par for the course now, but in 1990, the idea seemed sacrilegious and was compared to the controversial process of "colorizing" old films. Some fans even [[BetterThanCanon prefer the fan remake over the official versions]].

no longer YMMV; moving to main page


* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: In the [=PCjr=] version, there was a 'drop <item_name>' command which would dump your item on the ground. [[PermanentlyMissableContent Any item dropped could never be recovered]]. If you drop any of three great treasures, [[ForegoneConclusion well... you know]].

* {{Narm}}: In the original version, Graham simply sits on the throne while the king's dead body lies there in front of it, without any regard for how it would look when the King's men see it. Doing his best [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Jaime Lannister]] impression, apparently.

Pacifist Run being YMMV was due to a mistake, moving this back to the main work page.


* PacifistRun: Very minor example, but pacifist solutions to a few problems yield more points. For example, you could kill the dragon with the dagger, but chasing him away by pouring a bucket of water at it to douse its fire is just as effective, and yields more points.

* ThatOnePuzzle: Trying to grab the condor's legs in both remakes. Positioning in the exact spot to make the jump is crucial. You only get a three attempts and the bird will leave after that. You can always leave the screen and it will return or [[SaveScumming reload your last save]].
