"THE OFFICIAL BOOK OF KING'S QUEST" 
(Daventry and beyond) 
By Donald B. Trivette 
 
This is the official, authorized guide to King's Quest, from 
Sierra On-Line. 'King's Quest' is America's most popular series 
of 3-D animated adventure games. The book will help you puzzle 
out the answers to some of the most nagging enigmas in this 
series of action/adventure games.
 
The book provides an insider's view of Sierra On-Line, the 
genius factory that produces King's Quest. The series is in four 
parts made up of equal sections of mythology, history, fantasy 
and thrilling adventure. The book is full of revealed secrets. 
Did you know, for example, that special software - hidden code 
and secret commands - was left in some versions of King's 
Quest?!
 
You'll see how the games are designed from the first notes by 
creator Roberta Williams, through programming, composition, 
animation and debugging.
 
The creation of a successful adventure game is an adventure 
itself. But that's only the beginning. The second part of the 
book is for people who need help completing the four quests. 
Inside you'll find:
 
Foreword by Roberta Williams 
Maps of Daventry and beyond 
How the games are put together 
Hints, tips and clues
