Trivia
One of the puzzles is based on the story of "Beauty and the Beast", the Disney version of which (Beauty and the Beast (1991)) starred the game's star Robby Benson

Goofs
On the minimum path, when Alexander is in the alcove in the castle hallway, the pillar and the right wall is reflected on the floor, but there is no reflection of Alexander on the floor. Same thing applies for the portrait if it's on the floor.

Quotes
Narrator: Alexander holds the rabbit's foot out for the gnome with the huge hands.
Trilly Dilly: [after Alexander holds out a lucky rabbit's foot] Be all you mad? What aileth thee? / A bunny can't trill merrily! / A hare does not at all taste sweet! / A rabbit here is all we greet.

The Best KQ Ever

Yes, I think this was probably the best King's Quest ever. It's certainly my favorite. I've played them all, but none were quite like KQ6. For one thing, Alexander is probably the most compelling character a game could have. Of all the quests, his is the most compelling, exciting, and even touching.

Aside from that, the interface is convenient, the gameplay is smooth, and the puzzles are challenging, but they're possible. And for once, not having to be constantly on the lookout for enemies to hack apart is kind of a relief. So go play King's Quest, you'll be better for it.
