Trivia / Torin's Passage

• Acting for Two: Torin and Boogle are voiced by the same actor.
• He Also Did: Al Lowe received a bit of flack when people realized the creator of Leisure Suit Larry was creating a game that was meant for all ages. What people forgot was Lowe started out making family-friendly games like Troll's Tale, The Black Cauldron, and Dragon's Keep before creating the Leisure Suit Larry series.
• So My Kid Can Play: Al Lowe designed Torin's Passage so he could play a computer game with his daughter. The game was designed with this ideal in mind; of a parent playing a game with their kid full of jokes both of them can enjoy.
• What Could Have Been: This was intended to be a series, on par with any of Sierra's other "-Quest" series. There were to be four more games, chronicling the rest of Torin's life, from his marriage and assumption of the throne in the second game, up to his death in the fifth game. According to Word of God, the second game would have had Torin marry Princess Leenah and become the ruler of the Lands Above. The third game would have focused on a rebellion against king Torin, and the fourth game would have been a "coming of age" story about Torin's sons competing for their right to be the heir. The fifth and final game would have involved Torin's death and Passing the Torch to his heir. However, Ken Williams' departure and the eventual buyout of Sierra prevented this from happening. This would become Hilarious in Hindsight with the release of Kings Quest (2015), which featured a similar structure for King Graham. Yes, even the death part.
