You begin with no money, no food, no supplies, and little hope. Best head to town and see what's to see. Along the way, you'll notice a bear nosing around a beehive. If you could get rid of this nuisance, might the bees be grateful?
Then there's a fair maiden who's been turned into a tree. She needs her heart back, but a nasty witch has locked it away in a dark forest. What would protect you from the witch's magic?
You'll encounter many such situations as you journey through town, the surrounding countryside, a mountain range, a coastal region, and of course, Mordack's island stronghold. Konami estimates gameplay at 50 plus hours, so save, save, save. Also, make sure to record your password before you clock out for the day. Don't worry if your inventory is loaded with items which seem worthless. You'll use them all, eventually.
The honeycomb will come in handy when you're trying to escape from the dark forest The old shoe will help you save a rat from a cat Finally, the custard pie will help inside the ice cave. As you've probably discerned, King's Quest games are object and puzzle oriented. You'll find an item, and then use that item to deal with a problem. You may also trade in that item for a better one you can use elsewhere, and so on and so forth.
Occasionally, you'll get hung up on a puzzle and not be able to progress until you figure out how to complete it, which can be quite frustrating. On the other hand, your sense of accomplishment when you unravel a particularly unnerving dilemma is indescribable! King's Quest V breathes new life into 8-bit, or for that matter, any-bit adventure games. The scenery paints a pretty portrait, despite the limitations of the NES machine.
You'll be impressed with the olden-times music, too. The only shortcoming observed in KQ V is that small items are sometimes indistinguishable against the bright backgrounds.
All too often, video RPGs are combat-heavy clones of one another. Sure, monster-crunching can be a blast now and then, but King's Quest V's creativity makes it one of Konami's crowning achievements.

Publication date Reviewer: LibrarianHelper - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - April 14, Subject: Blast from the Past This was never my favorite of the King's Quest games. But what makes it more frustrating is in this version you can't save your game!
It's too easy to die when you don't remember how to do the thing. Reviewer: dragonbreath13 - favorite - April 11, Subject: please change it back I know there used to be a text only version of the game on here which was the original version.
Please change it back. If you don't have audio you can't play, also the voice overs are extremely annoying. Reviewer: JessaMorgan - favorite - August 13, Subject: error there is no text in the game so if you're not able to listen to the narrative there is no way to know whats going on. After he wonders why, an owl called Cedric speaks to him about it and transports him to the land of Serenia, where his boss Crispin helps him get ready to face up to Mordack. Cedric is asked to go with him to make sure that Graham does not get in trouble.
Thanks to Rosella, King Graham is strong and healthy once again, and can go back to doing what he loves most - going for walks. While he is out one splendid summer day, an evil sorcerer named Mordack appears and transports Castle Daventry with the rest of the royal family to a faraway place. Graham must once again quest for the good of his country, but this time he is not alone. He gets help from the good wizard Crispin and his talking owl Cedric.
The latter even travels alongside Graham throughout the game although he will not put himself in danger. As for the improvements in the game, they are mind-boggling! Words cannot even begin to describe the difference in gameplay from KQ4! Just look at the screenshots taken from both games, and you will already see why the game scores 5 points!
The music has also been improved, and for the first time in any of the KQ series, the mouse controls everything! You can easily switch among commands with a click of the right mouse button. Seems like it's no longer available since GoG is selling a pack with ep 4,5 and 6 for 10 bucks.
