King's Quest is the most successful and popular series of computer games ever. Devised by Roberta Williams and husband programmer Ken Williams, King's Quest became the cornerstone of Sierra On-Line, one of the biggest games producers in the world. King's Quest 7 follows the story of Princess Rosella and her Mother in a strange land, where you play both roles at different times. At the time of its release it was the most ambitious animated adventure game ever. PC User is pleased to offer its readers the complete version of King's Quest VII as part of its December 1998 Christmas CD pack. The game takes up most of Disc 3, which also includes a preview and a 'making of' video of the just released King's Quest VIII Kings Quest - Mask of Eternity preview

HANDY TO KNOW To speed up or slow down your walking speed in the game, press the + or - keys on the number pad on your keyboard. Some users have experienced random fatal errors while playing King's Quest 7 if they have other memory intensive Windowsä applications running at the same time. Sierra highly recommends running King's Quest 7 as a stand alone Windows application. If this is not possible, Sierra recommends starting all other Windows applications prior to starting King's Quest 7. King's Quest 7 is designed to be played with 256 colors in Windows. If the color mode is higher than 256 colors, such as 65535 "high color" or 16 million "true color" mode, Windows will not allow for palette cycling. Although it will run, you will miss some of the special graphics effects, the game may run slower, and you may experience some color trashing during gameplay. We highly recommend playing King's Quest 7 in 640x480 256 color mode. Refer to the "Windows Problems and Solutions" section in this README for more information. If you try the game in Windows and find your hardware runs the game slowly, try the game in MS-DOS. Both Windows and King's Quest 7 are very demanding of hardware. Running under MS-DOS will allow more CPU attention for our game.
