well the first king's quest games were great because they retained the most of the format of the old text games like zork, where part of the quasi-open eneded fun was to discover all the commands that could be used or typed in the command field to elicit an action/response at any point in the game. King's Quest 2 was probably my favorite. I remember the part where I noticed a little hole in a bush on one screen, so i went to it, and typed in look in hole...and he did...and then it gave a preview thingy of the first space quest game...pretty damn cool, I thought.
