There have been several King's Quest fangames both original and retellings/ remakes of the original games that have been released by various developers.

Interactive Fantasies created two of the earliest KQ fan adventures were created while Sierra's was still producing games in the King's Quest series. In 1997, they created two overhead adventure action-RPG games set after KQ7 using Epic MegaGames ' ZZT software, King's Quest ZZT and King's Quest ZZT 2 . In an idea predating 1998's Mask of Eternity , the game includes weapons and enemies to fight (in a similar style to Ys series by bumping into the enemies, or manually firing arrows), and even includes a few side-scrolling platformer arcade sequences.

AGD Interactive (previously Tierra Entertainment) has released three King's Quest games so far. First, they created a more or less straight remake of King's Quest: Quest for the Crown , with advanced VGA-style graphics and a voice soundtrack, King's Quest I VGA . [1] [2] [3] [4] They moved onto create a retelling of King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne , creating an all new story inspired by the original game. [5] In February 2011, they released King's Quest III Redux , an enhanced retelling of KQ3 (continuing ideas that first appeared in Romancing the Stones ). It was not a straight remake as their KQI remake, nor was it a full overhaul like their KQII remake had been; in fact, many of the elements of the original KQIII story were left intact, but details were altered to create a more challenging experience, and the story was tweaked to incorporate elements of the KQII rewrite as progressing into KQIII.

Infamous Adventures released a remake of King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human on June 19, 2006. The release includes Video Graphics Array -style graphics and an advanced music and voice soundtrack for the game. [6] [7] [8] It offers several new and extended cut scenes, a few tweaks to locations, a new ending, and a streamlined spell casting system. [9]

Phoenix Online Studios 's project is The Silver Lining . It is an episodic game series based on the King's Quest series. It is an unofficial sequel, taking place where King's Quest 8 left off. Four episodes of the game has been released so far.

Smaller developers have released assorted games set in the KQ universe as well. Steve Lingle created a text based remake of King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder . [10] A small team known as Intermezzo Software created a followup set between KQ2 and KQ3, using Sierra's classic AGI system (requires DosBox). Finally, Joel Page created a short adventure/parody called Owl's Quest: Every Owl has it's Day starring Cedric the Owl from King's Quest V , set after KQ8.

In some cases a few of Sierra's former employees such as Josh Mandel , Lori Ann Cole and Andy Hoyos became involved with the fan games, lending their voices to characters. In the case of King's Quest III Redux , several professional actors/actresses lent their voices to a couple of characters, including Robert Adamson .

Another notable aspect is that AGD Interactive , Phoenix Online Studios , and Infamous Adventures each received fan licenses from Activision (or previous owners of the King's Quest IP) to finish their fan remakes and games, and release them for free. [11] [12]

The King's Quest fan series like their predecessors are often inspired by classical fairy tales, fantasy, classic horror, and mythology.
Whereas the original series references to other works were often direct, some of the fan developers such as AGD Interactive chose to obscure the references in some way. For example Dracula (who was directly taken from the novel of the same name) was replaced with the Count Caldaur who instead of being evil turns out to be good. Little Red Riding Hood was replaced by the character Possum/Anastasia, and Grandma became Lavidia (curiously Anastasia can be seen reading a copy of Little Red Riding Hood, further showing that she is not the classic fairy tale character). Medusa was replaced with the character Smaude, who turns out to be a cursed maiden and innocent.

Alexander sets out on adventure to stop Ravenlos (the evil cousin of Mordack and Manannan). [13]

Following Rosella and Valenice's return to Castle Daventry, a big festival is held. A messenger comes to the castle, explaining to them that Ravenlos, the evil cousin of the sorcerer Manannan has conquered the island of Llewdor, and is planning to conquer Daventry. Graham was furious of the news, and asked his son Prince Alexander to defend the kingdom. Alexander was not willing to go fight against him and his army, until his father collapses sick, which changes Alexander's mind. Alexander visits the old wise gnome for a medicine for his father, and after he is healed, he sets off for the long and dangerous mission. Along the way he meets strange creatures like Centaurs, Elves and Ogres and visits many places, like the mountains of Llewdor, the island of Tamir, and the Aberian Desert. [23] [24]

A nod to the King's Quest ZZT games is made in The Silver Lining ’s "The Four Winds" meta-fiction newsletter. This includes the events surrounding the Centaurs and the Ogres in King's Quest ZZT (and a nod towards ZZT2), with expanded material tying it into the Phoenix Online Studios' backstories for the wind Sirocco, Zephyr, and the wizard Crispin. [25]

While Alexander is staying in the Elven village, hostilities have shocked the country of Daventry again. The Relentless Army attacks the castle and kidnaps his parents. Alexander travels to stop invading forces and prevent the Kingdom of Dalban's plans [16]

KQ2 ¼ takes place between KQ2 and KQ3 . Valanice sets out on an adventure to find her kidnapped son, and save him from starvation. The game uses the classic AGI system. Along the way she meets the woodcutter and his wife, pirates, henchmen, Charon, Rumplestiltskin, and others. [19] [20]

A text based re-imagining of the King's Quest V adventure. It contains an almost completely original script, with all new descriptions for the events and areas in the game.

Owl's Quest: Every Owl Has It's Day is an unofficial adventure fangame developed and released in free download format by Jstudios for Microsoft Windows on May 26, 2007. [26] [27] It is a short parody of the King's Quest series (specifically King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder! and the fangame The Silver Lining ) starring Cedric the Owl from King's Quest V . The game is set a short while after King's Quest VIII: Mask of Eternity . [28]

Cedric receives an invitation from King Alexander to attend a birthday ceremony in the Land of the Green Isles. [29] Having had a curse put on him by Crispin, Cedric must attempt to make his way to Crispin and have the curse removed so he can fly to the Green Isles. Cedric explores new locations in Serenia, including Cedric's treehouse, the Inverted Tower of Repunzel, and thwarts snakes and scorpions to make his way to Crispin's house, and finally to the Green Isles. The game includes a full voice cast (minus the narrator).

The gameplay is similar to the interface found in King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride . It includes a single icon interface, an inventory section, and a feature to look at items. The single cursor can be used to speak to characters or look at objects on the screen. The art style is a crude mix of KQ7 animation style, with close-up photos from KQ5 and KQ6. The background artwork is a mix of crude hand-drawn art, and images taken from KQ5 and KQ6.

The game has a total of 8 points, with not much more than ten puzzles to solve. [30] There are a total of three ways to die in the game (killed by a scorpion, a snake, or falling into a pit).

The game was developed by Joel Page using the Adventure Game Studio , created for the monthly AGS competition. It has a full voice cast except the narrator. All parts presumably done by Joel Page (as he is the single person on the credit screen). The game uses a mix of music largely taken from KQ7.

The parody aspects of the game poke fun at situations in KQ5 with mixed results. For example Cedric encounters and can be killed by things he warned about in KQ5. He is forced to go into places, he would have told Graham to avoid in KQ5. The game makes fun of Crispin's mispronunciation and use of generic magic words (in which case he uses the 'bibbidi bobbidi boo' from Cinderella). It makes fun of Cedric's "annoying" voice and nature. It even attempts to break the fourth wall at times with Cedric conversing with the narrator.

The game was given a special two part "Let's Play" review on That Guy with the Glasses by Paw Dugan . In the videos he and his co-host kept a running timer of the total number of typographical and grammatical errors in the game's script. They also pointed out the satirical aspects of the game that make fun of Cedric, and certain over-used plot contrivances in KQ5. They poke fun at the game's bugs. The videos also show the replies from the live events audience making fun of the game. Some of the footage were used in a special on Sierra fan game development scene. [31]

In this funfair-style arcade mini-game adaption of Sierra's KQ5 owl named Cedric, the players have to kill Cedric as many times as possible within the 20 seconds time limit.
The players use two weapons: pistol & shotgun.
The game was developed by Arjon van Dam using the Adventure Game Studio .

From Downton Abbey to Game of Thrones, anything is fair game for Cookie Monster to show up in a parody version teaching a lesson about sharing.
A recent development in the HBO Max rebranding was the cancelation and removal of streaming shows and movies on their platform. While the cancelation of the upcoming show Batgirl garnered a lot of attention and pushback, a group of friendly city monsters and friends received the same treatment. Almost 200 episodes of Sesame Street have been removed in addition to the cancellation of and erasure of other popular shows. There is no internal analytics for the value of Sesame Street to HBO viewers, but external studies show that Sesame Street is HBO Max’s biggest performer with 62% of HBO Max only watching one program: Sesame Street. This decision hurts young viewers looking to learn from Sesame Street and the creative ways they teach important lessons. This creative way of teaching is a huge part of what makes Sesame Street so special and holds up after all these years.
Airing for the first time in 1969, Sesame Street has always had the mission of talking up to children and creating programming that made children feel like they were the focus of conversation, not an accessory to it. Part of the way they have achieved these goals is by making modern references. In recent years, Sesame Street has made a point to have famous people on that kids may have seen in their own shows or even in the shows their parents watch. These celebrities interact with the puppets and help teach viewers while making subtle references to their work. Not only is this fun for parents possibly watch with their children, but it is also fun for kids to feel in on the shows and celebrities their parents know. But aside from celebrity guest appearances, Sesame Street also incorporates direct references to television shows and movies through parody. Bridging the generational gap, these parodies bring not-so-kid-friendly shows and movies to children in every home.
If there’s an iconic television show moment, you can expect there will be a version of it on Sesame Street . For a while now, Sesame Street has been delighting viewers with recreations of popular television moments adding their own special Muppet twist on them. No show is too violent, too risqué, or too complicated to be referenced on Sesame Street . From Downton Abbey to Game of Thrones , anything is fair game for Cookie Monster to show up in a parody version teaching a lesson about sharing. Here is a list of the top five best Sesame Street parodies.
Downton Abbey became a world-wide phenomenon back in 2010, and Sesame Street did not waste any time hopping on the bandwagon of expressing love for the show. This parody didn’t really make fun of Downton Abbey , it mostly just put the characters viewers love from Downton Abbey who would never be seen doing anything even the slightest bit improper in the silliest of situations. In Upside Downton Abbey , The Dowager Countess and her butler must overcome losing all their food because of being upside down by figuring out they need to be (you guessed it) right side up. What is so great about this parody is that even if you don’t have kids and there is no excuse to be watching Sesame Street, if you like Downton Abbey you’ll love this parody. It is universally funny both for those who appreciate the subtle nods to exaggerated formal language and the very specific costuming and for those little ones who just like seeing a fancy lady with a steak and kidney pie on her head.
The Hungry Games: Catching Fur was a very direct parody of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire . In it, Cookie Monster must work through pattern puzzles to win the games. The comedy here comes from Sesame Street making fun of The Hunger Games series as a whole. There are little jokes scattered throughout the lesson that tease the series for having an unrealistic plot and going on for multiple movies. A child watching Sesame Street would love the traileresque way in which the show sets up this parody, but a Hunger Games fan would see the ways in which Sesame Street has encapsulated everything silly about the franchise and made them all blatantly obvious through hyperbole.
Including a parody of When Harry Met Sally in Sesame Street may seem strange for children’s television. It seems especially strange when the parody happens 26 years after the movie comes out. But that’s the magic of a Sesame Street parody. Sesame Street parodies are a trademark of the show where they reimagine television in movies. Not only is Sesame Street bringing modern adult television and film to children and their parents in an entertaining and educating way, but they are also providing a new generation with references to the classics. When Harry Met Cookie takes Cookie Monster and Sally to the infamous deli where Cookie Monster learns a lesson in waiting his turn. In this lesson, however, there is also exposure to a fabulous romantic comedy from the '80s. The Sally puppet captures the complete essence of Meg Ryan in that same role. The parody really shows just how amazing the puppet design on Sesame Street really is. These throwback parodies further the shortening of the distance between generations, giving parents and children something to look back on and interests they have in common. Even if the parody provides a more sanitized version, the essence of the original is still there giving young audiences an early appreciation for an old movie.
In 2009, The Muppets at Sesame Street took a trip to 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Making a lovely parody of the hit show 30 Rock . The beloved character Liz Lemon ( Tina Fey ) is an actual lemon wearing glasses and running an SNL-type show just like in 30 Rock. This parody teaches a lesson about counting from 1 to 30 one rock at a time. The real genius of this parody was in their character work. The Liz Lemon and Jack Donahue ( Alec Baldwin ) Muppet counterparts were expertly acted showing great respect for the original source material. The puppets perfectly capture and poke fun at the ways in which Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey play their characters. This lesson in counting was more of a parody of the acting styles used in 30 Rock and the relationships between the characters.
With the first episode of House of the Dragon out now, Game of Chairs was a delightful throwback. In 2015, Sesame Street released Game of Chairs, a parody of Game of Thrones where Grover must learn to play musical chairs to win the title of king. This parody had expertly written references to the very adult subject matter of Game of Thrones and incredible puppet design, similar to that of When Cookie Met Sally, with Peter Dinklage and Sophie Turner puppets that were truly their doppelgängers. Game of Thrones is a complicated and hard show to parody. Especially hard to parody for a child audience. But through subtle references and the chaotic nature of Grover as a character, the Sesame Street show was able to create a silly, goofy segment that gave kids something to laugh about that would also raise their parent's eyebrows and put a smile on their faces as well.
