I always thought the series were somewhat underrated. People keep saying that it is "a mediocre clone of King's Quest", which I don't understand.

King's Quest is a fairy tale. Kyrandia is pure fantasy. While the first game has this "walking around an endless forrest" feel and gameplay, it's still different. The interface in very unique for an adventure game, as well as storytelling. I think that if they wanted to, they could make a long series just adding new locations and scenarios, like in RPG.

But they chose to follow an innovative path, with every new game being a completely new experience. I also enjoy kyrandian humour, not to mention some of the most beautiful scenes adventure genre has ever seen.

While I also love the 2nd part, I have a special place in my heart for the 1st one as it was the first adventure game I've ever played.
