Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the summer of 1990, Sierra's InterAction magazine ran a contest called "Be a character in King's Quest V". Entrants had to submit photos of themselves in clothing that would fit in with the King's Quest world. The winners Amanda Logue and Austin Hartman became the characters "Amanda" and her son "Austin"; customers Graham briefly meets in the Baker Bros. Bakehouse, and were featured in a one-page photo spread in a subsequent InterAction issue. Amanda and Austin do not appear in the NES version of the game.
- GoofsIf the player forgets to use the beeswax to patch the hole in the boat, which Graham uses to find Mordack's island, the boat will sink. As it sinks, Graham starts calling for help and he still does it as soon as he's underwater.
- Quotes
Cedric the Owl: Graham, watch out - a poisonous snake!
- Alternate versionsThe floppy disk version of King's Quest V features text dialog and has no voice acting. Several of the characters including the rat, the bee and the ant has their upper torso show moving their hands. This was later cut out of the CD-ROM version with only their faces shown. An Easter egg glitch involving King Graham putting his cloak on sled and being in a boat with the sea monster attacking him, has been removed in the CD-ROM version.

Featured review
A great game
I grew up on the old / previous King's Quest games, I was 11 when the original came out in black and white. I was a fan immediately, I can blame the old Atari game Adventure for my liking of adventure games and RPG's. So once 1990 rolled around and this game came out I was super excited of course after already having beat all the previous four games multiple times. I unfortunately had to wait until Christmas 91 to get it. I played this non-stop until I beat it. Back then when you have only the Sierra help line to call for clues or friends who possibly are farther in the game then you for help it was mostly figuring out all of it yourself which I did pretty much for 90% of the game. I think it took me about 6 months to beat the game after all that trial and error but that's what made these games fun was figuring it out all by yourself.
I thought I was going to hate the new point and click interface but I really liked how it smoothed the game out. The typing interface in the old games can get really old. The owl could be annoying but that's a small complaint for such a great game in a great series. King's Quest games 1 thru 6 are all great adventures and each one getting better than the previous one. I think they obviously peaked with games 5 & 6.
I have to be honest if I could go back in time and relive the greatness that was the 80s and 90s I would do it in a sec. Sure technology was more in it's infant stages but to me it was more pure fun. This game is so old to give you an idea of inflation today gas prices were around 90 cents to a dollar per gallon around the time this game came out. When King's Quest 4 came out I remember gas was around 75 cents per gallon. It sure was a simpler time but we had a great time living in it.
