1. Introduction
===============================================================================
King's Quest I is the first in a series of eight adventure games for the PC. In
this game, Graham travels to the land of Daventry to meet the king, who gives
him a quest to find three golden treasures. These are hidden in various
dangerous places of the land, like the golden mirror near the dragon at the
bottom of the well, or the golden chest in a magical land on top of the clouds
where a ferocious giant walks.
Like in most of Sierra's early adventures, a typing interface is used. The
arrow keys move Graham to different points on screen, while verbs can be typed
to interact with the surroundings. For example, "Look" would give a description
of the area, while "Get (objectname)" would get the specified object on screen
and add it to the item list, also known as the inventory. Overall, this is a
good game which features a huge amount of locations to explore.

5. Frequently Asked Questions
===============================================================================
Q. I've arrived at an area with a giant. Should I use the sling on him, or wait
until he falls asleep?
A. While you can use the sling on the giant, you won't get as many points for
it. The best way to defeat the giant is to make him fall asleep by getting
him caught behind the tree.
Q. I'm in the area with the bird, but it doesn't seem to be taking me to a new
location. What should I do?
A. Make sure you "jump" when Graham is standing directly under the bird.
Q. How do I walk down the steps after defeating the giant?
A. Although it can be done with the arrow keys, it's much easier to do by
turning num lock off and using the 1, 3, 7 and 9 keys to walk diagonally
down the steps.
