King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride (PC) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@TheItalianFun]

how do you explain the beauty of a 90s childhood...

[@LadyKuromi]

I played this game when I was very young. So many memories.

[@glo2be-traves-is-so-cute.13]

WOW!

[@dawnbreaker2912]

I was 12 when it released, but didn't play it until I was 14 or 15.

[@jjdorig9712]

same here...

[@katieerickson4518]

It looks good I never played it!! I DONT LIKE SCARY..GAMES!! I HAVE BAD DREAMS, SO I LIKE FAMILY, FRIENDLY!!

[@whizzzingwizzzard]

When I was a kid I played this game all the time and reeeally wanted to beat it, but I never could. Watching this video, I'm surprised at home much I remember. Wish I could go back and properly beat it. The song at the beginning still pops into my head randomly lol.

[@cocsies2ify]

Same as me!

[@mjt4941]

Its on sale on steam... 10$ for all 7 entries in the series.

[@NintendoComplete]

Though it garners quite a number of sneers from genre snobs, and despite not being quite as well written as KQ6, it does quite a credible job of keeping up the series' tradition of marrying cutting edge tech with fairy tale stories driven by (generally) logical puzzles. If you like graphic adventures, this is a landmark title for the genre, and it's quite a good one.

@EatPlums Tyvm! :)

[@Revi0us]

@@NintendoComplete Shocking... I grew up with King's Quest and I have to say, Perils of Rosella and Princeless bride are my absolute favourites

[@shadeofthetrees]

Thoroughly impressed with the number of one-liners they gave the mockingbird. Very impressive.

[@TheItalianFun]

yeah and also quite funny :)

[@thealys2215]

Been searching for this game for 15 years, at last!!! I found it!!

[@amumuumuma7408]

Been searching for this game for 20 years, at last!!!!!!! THE MEMMORIES MAN!

[@thealys2215]

damn. the nostalgia kinda hurts a little bit in the chest.. ahaha I was a kid when I played this game

[@AIWboojum]

This was actually my favorite King's Quest game and one of my favorite Sierra games in general. It's nice to see comments from other people who like it; I think it's way underrated.

[@TheItalianFun]

Can we appreciate how many dissing lines the mockingbird has at 1:16:00? I found it hilarious

[@romybeaker9166]

" You're so ugly you have to sneak up on a glass of water". LOLL

[@imaginary92]

One of my favourite childhood games. Will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks for uploading it.

[@AreEia]

One of my absolute favorite games as a kid, was never too good at it though :p Had forgotten how incredibly nice and chill the midi tracks were, niice :)

[@mysterygirl6305]

This was my sister's game and i pretty much stole it from her. I swear to God i could never beat this damn thing as kid.

[@TheDeldiz]

Kid doesn't wanna get married: "You're an adult! You're wasting time! Grow up grow up GROW UP!" Kid runs away: "WAAH! Where's my baby?! She's only a child! Mama's coming, sweetie!"

[@tyoung521]

Oh the memories I have of playing this game, I loved it.

[@ThyDungeonman2]

This series still boggles my mind with how all over the place it is...

[@AggiePlz]

2:25 Mother: you’re already 20 years old. Most of your friends are already married. Me: welp. •_•

[@SwordfighterRed]

I remember playing this a bit as a kid. I don't think I had much patience for point-and-click adventure games then, still preferring my Marios and whatnot, but I still figured some things out. I do remember thinking the animated cutscenes were pretty impressive and Disney-like back then, but, uh... not so much now.

[@galadrielv1412]

Thank you for your very thorough demonstration of each step along the way. Excellent!!! 👏👏👏

[@Penfold8]

Played this game when I was in high school. Ahhhhh Memories!

[@Cashdummy]

Remember playing this together with my sisters :) Trying to figure out the puzzles together. That was fun :)

[@fluorescentghost]

Thanks for this playthrough! I loved this game as a kid and got so scared of the land of Ooga Booga. Never finished it.

[@TheItalianFun]

same! boogeyman gave me nightmares for months

[@effvc]

Came here for this!

[@DonCohen2649]

I have an original Windows 95 disk. Spent two weeks playing through the game with the developers and working hand-in-hand with Ken and John Williams at CR online in Bellevue Washington in the 1990s. The most fun I’ve ever had with a high-paying gig

[@natulinab]

Thanks! I never played the game but I had a DEMO of it and it always was my dream to play it but during that time my parents couldn´t afford it. After 15 years or more I can finally watch the whole of it. Thanks a lot!

[@Kayaya]

ooga booga was my favorite as a child, and i still love it so much - the limericks on the epitaphs, the big black dog and the witty cat, the overall purple-ish colour scheme... the not so slight hint of the macabre... and especially that pumpkin tree house. oh how i wanted one myself lol. silly really.

[@Paichan13]

So many references I didn't get as a kid! The mouse with the Silence of the Lambs reference I can't even xD

[@TCgamerboy2002]

Did you know that the intro and ending cutscenes were done by the same people behind the cutscenes for Zelda CD-i games? =P

[@TheItalianFun]

ma boy!!

[@beiiffanys6478]

now that u mention it, the animation looks veeerry similar like damn. thanks for new knowledge dear sir.

[@Rude4eyez]

So many happy childhood memories 🥰💭 unlocked while watching this 😍🥲❤ thanks sm for uploading this game 💜

[@KDrop84]

I beat this game after having a dream about the light in the cave. I woke up and figured out what to do. Took me SOOOOOO Long to finish this game. So good.

[@CCRoxtar]

2:17:34 "The levitating albino warthog of Rigatonia." I have laughed at that line ever since I used to play that game during its heyday!

[@Galuna]

"Oh no, you're not an usuper at all!" She proceeds to free their dragon, knock out their blacksmith, convince the royal jeweler to run away, knock out the chef and ruin the stew. Absolutely not an usurper at all.

[@TheInkPitOx]

This is my second favorite in the series behind VI.

[@DonCohen2649]

I wrote the Hint Guide for this game in the Mid-90s as a contracted writer for Sierra Online’s Interaction Magazine. Wrote the cover story for The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain.

[@NintendoComplete]

That's pretty awesome :)

[@DonCohen2649]

It was an amazing time in my life. There wasn’t much on the Internet...Compuserve mostly. Lots on online live chat in Seattle. I was looking around in electronica bulletin board and just stuck a one line ad that said writer looking for work. Did it just for fun because it was a bulletin board for software and hardware. Couple weeks later I got a call from the systems operator. He said he got a response on the bulletin board from John Williams of Sierra Online. I told him I didn’t know anything about computers. “Are you funny?” he said. “Yeah. “Do you have an attitude?” “Yeah.” I sent him some funny stuff via FedEx. He hired me for four weeks for $1150 a week… That was 1995 money. Today it’s a lot more. For an option for a fifth week. I was for one addition of Interaction Magazine. After three or four weeks he called me back for a second edition. I got to do my own screenshots on their Macintosh. It was a ball. We worked pretty hard from 10 AM till four in the morning but had about four hours for lunch and dinner. I didn’t drink so I made the beer runs. There were just four of us in the office putting this magazine together. Ken Williams’s brother John, a designer named Tim Fruehe, and graphics artist intern named Skye, and me.

[@mrcydonia]

The opening cartoon always baffled me. You're a princess in a magical land, but you want to go to a land beyond dreams?? That's where you are now, you silly bint! Some people are never satisfied.

[@darthlime101]

As a kid watching either my older sister play it or playing it alone, my imagination always went wild when it came to the various deaths and that stopped me from ever completing it.

[@kevinmcqueary7395]

During this game, I kept hearing the name Etheria. And just hearing that name makes me think of the cartoon I use to watch as a kid that features hat same named planet, She-Ra Princess of Power. For some reason, it makes me wish she was in this game.

[@mary_goldfinch8038]

Thanks! So nostalgic )

[@LPetal86]

Heh, I like how this game makes you think you're just going to be playing as Rosella again but then you start off as the mother (been awhile since she was trapped in that tower at the end of II, eh?).

[@kimmoksi5395]

Am I the only one who wished Rosella were a troll forever? She was so cute

[@TheDeldiz]

I know right?

[@Sigma0283]

I remember when my sister got this. The computer my folks had didn’t have a sound card and we had to miss out on the talking and music and had to read everything in a text box.

[@adamarguin2172]

What was the point of the prickly pear? You had it from the beginning of the game and never had a need for it.

[@VincentoValentine]

You give it to the lizard thing at 1:02:50

[@nohrden55]

I don't recall seeing that ending when I played when I played on the PC way back in the day

[@meskalin64]

This game had so many bugs it was almost impossible to complete. Is there any update to the cd-rom version?

[@theincredibleworldofmendoz7706]

That mockingbird is rude.

[@doloresgaut7226]

I think I would have given Valanice a coronary. I didn’t get married until I was 33, lol. All joking aside, this is one of my favorite games as a kid. Now I’m trying to figure out where to download it from…

[@NintendoComplete]

Hahaha, Valanice would fling herself out a 7th story window if she saw anything of modern society I think. You can get it on gog.com, I believe.

[@SpunkyLadl]

After reading a lot of these descriptions, I am really curious on your opinion on Humoungous Entertainment's quality on their games if you've ever decided to play them on this channel. (Fittingly another PC point and click studio)

[@NintendoComplete]

SpunkyBandy I don't think I've ever played anything by them

[@SpunkyLadl]

Solid games, I highly reccomend playing them, I'd say start off with Pajama Sam 1, because it's arguably the best game written and animated.

[@NintendoComplete]

SpunkyBandy Really? I always assumed those games were educational software! Hahaha I didn't realize they were like actual worthwhile games

[@brandonreina5582]

Activision is going to release King's Quest 8: Return to Paradise which is the 8th entity in the KQ series. In King's Quest 8: Return to Paradise, the people of a far away land argue during a battle against a reigning kingdom in which the evil fairy (from King's Quest 7) had laid siege, turning the reigning kingdoms' princesses to stone. A reigning queen, however, joins forces with a few thieves to defeat the wicked fairy (who had killed her beloved princess Rosella).

[@NintendoComplete]

Brandon Reina That's cool that there's going to be another, but there already was an 8!

[@brandonreina5582]

NintendoComplete King's Quest 8 1/2: Return to Paradise (originally named King's Quest 9) is the expansion pack to King's Quest 8.

[@NintendoComplete]

Brandon Reina Ooh I gotcha. That sounds awesome, I'll have to check it out

[@andyz.5431]

you can also use the charged device on that dog.

[@asaelpolanco8151]

Does anyone know that the cutscenes where animated by the same guys who bought to us the Zelda CD-I games?

[@MJJPrincess]

How did you play this game? I had this as a kid and loved it never finished the very end. I want to pay it again just not sure if I buy the original old PC game used if I can get it to play. I always wished they remaster it for other systems.

[@johnyp2967]

Use a virtual xp machine i did and it worked

[@adrielisaacs9228]

You can buy it on GOG, the version there works on modern systems! :)

[@OswaldMiyake35]

Well, at least its good. Why people think is very bad or been the Weakest in the Series.

[@NintendoComplete]

Oswald Epic Loquendero They criticize the graphics even though this was a really impressive game when it was new, and the game is one of the most linear of the game. I think what probably hurts it the most is that it came after KQ6, so people had impossibly high expectations for it. Back then though it reviewed well and people loved it. I remember seeing it being used as a demo to sell computers at some local stores around 1994. This and the Sierra version of Lode Runner :)

[@OswaldMiyake35]

Sierra did their version of Lode Runner?

[@NintendoComplete]

Oswald Epic Loquendero And it's nowhere near the worst one. I'd give 3 that honor, or 1. Of course, as much as I love KQ5, its puzzles got pretty damned unfair and it loved dead-ends that forced you to restart. This one's def the easiest KQ game, but the plot is more complex and more interesting than any of the early ones

[@NintendoComplete]

Oswald Epic Loquendero Yeah, the Windows 3.1/95 version was awesome. My favorite version of the game :)

[@OswaldMiyake35]

1 because it was the first game, so its has its errors.

[@BuzzKirill3D]

Funny that this was animated by the same studio that did Zelda CDI games.

this is one of the few sierra games i never played. never had interest in it either. it really looked like a dumbed down kings quest with an almost kids level difficulty. the box art also made it look like educational software. even if i never play it, your playthrough was enough for me.

[@NintendoComplete]

MrTuco40 You know, for as simple as it looks with the simpler interface, it's not that easy. The puzzles are logical, but some of them really make you think hard. It's definitely easier than VI, but as a kid it took me awhile to get through.

[@coisocurvy]

Ooga booga town always freaks me out . Lol it’s one of my fav parts tho . I think the sky is falling was the hardest part to beat but we had the cheat guide to help us when we were too stuck i loved this game
