| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: No matter what you think of the game, you have to admit the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x2xBpII1R0 main theme]] is awesome. |
| 2 | * ContestedSequel: When it was new, the only evidence that it was a contested sequel and not outright FanonDiscontinuity was its sales. Nowadays, it's easier to find people who will openly admit to liking the game. In fact, even the contention usually revolves more around whether being so different from the rest of the series is impossible to forgive, rather than whether it's a fine game in a vacuum. Still, if you go to a Creator/{{Sierra}} fan board and ask if it's a ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'' game, then ask them if it's a ''good'' game, [[FlameWar make sure to bring chocolate, marshmallows, and graham (no pun intended) crackers for the inevitable cookout.]] |
| 3 | * FanonDiscontinuity: Some of the especially hardcore members of the fanbase treat the game's mere existence as an insult. This game is largely ignored and/or derided by many as InNameOnly, due to its drastic change in tone, reliance on violence in a series that usually rewarded you for thinking your way out of the situation, and a protagonist that wasn't a member of the Daventry Royal Family. |
| 4 | * GoodBadBugs: Scaling a wall with the rope and hook in the Underground Realm of the Gnomes could result in Connor ending up on the other side of the walls bordering the level. Weirdly, it wasn't just an empty wasteland - there were rocks lying around that could be picked up and zombies to fight. |
| 5 | * MemeticMutation: "'Tis beyond my reach!" Variations on this pop up in the FanRemake of ''VideoGame/KingsQuestIIRomancingTheThrone'' and ''VideoGame/TheSilverLining''. |
| 6 | * MisBlamed: The game itself was blamed for killing the adventure game genre, but trouble with the company and a shifting industry had far more to do with it. Also, while the game remains obscure enough to not be fully VindicatedByHistory[[labelnote:*]]Part of the reason being how much of a pain in the ass it is to run on modern hardware[[/labelnote]], many who look back on it now see it in a different light since it ''was'' fairly ambitious for the time. The rest of the ''King's Quest'' series, while still looked back on fondly, is now acknowledged to have more or less made the fall of the adventure game genre inevitable [[FranchiseOriginalSin from the beginning]], due to wildly inconsistent quality and loads of FakeDifficulty. ''Mask of Eternity's'' gameplay, in hindsight, has noticeably more modern standards of balance and fairness. |
| 7 | * OldGuardVersusNewBlood: The game falls into the New Blood camp, since it focuses more on action and stars a new character who isn't related by blood to the royal family. |
