King's Quest 4: The Perils of Rosella

For the first time, the spotlight falls on Princess Rosella in King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella, an adventure that combines fairy tales with genuine danger. Her quest to save her father leads through enchanted lands filled with clever puzzles, memorable characters, and enough hazards to make royal life seem distinctly overrated. The introduction of a musical soundtrack greatly enhanced the atmosphere, making exploration feel more magical than ever before. Rosella proves herself every bit as resourceful as Graham, even if local wildlife repeatedly disagrees. The game successfully expanded the series while giving players a refreshing new hero to root for.

King's Quest 4: The Perils of Rosella review

Computer and Video Game (1989): "When King's Quest 1 first appeared, the novelty of its animation system was one of its main attractions. Sierra has not stood still since then, and, whilst continuing the same background theme in subsequent King's Quests, it has steadily improved its techniques and tricks, to produce this, Kings Quest IV, which I rank as its finest game to date."

Retro gamer collector's corner:

King's Quest IV was the only native-mode SCI game to also have an AGI version. This was done mostly as a fall-back measure because the SCI engine was new and unproven, and also for the large existing user base of 8086 machines. However, only a quite small number of copies were sold. It was discontinued within a few months of the game's August 1988 release.
