I got this game for my 13th birthday for my Tandy 1000 HX and was so excited.
I played through Space Quest I && II and had high hopes.
It stressed me out so much being under the gun with the time that I never made it through most of the game. It was one of the first games I really gave up on and I beat Zelda and Metroid and played a ton of Flight Simulator so I had patience.
Maybe some day I'll play through it on DosBox.

RE: Old Buford. It has been over 25 years since I played this game and have played all the games in the series. I found by selecting one room or one location at a time, and then going back to my room and hiding the stuff under my bed; I was able to avoid the wizard on almost every occasions. Main this is find something and go back to your room, don't be greedy.

I recently found a download for all 8 KQ's and i have to say i hated KQIII. I came upon this review while looking for advice on how to manage your time so youre not caught by the wizard over and over. I hated being under the gun of time, adventure games should allow you to explore all aspects without the constant clock ticking down to yet another death. Storyline was much improved but the fact that youre killed off so much and have to worry about the clock running out is a huge turn off. im still partial to the first KQ.

Yes there was no internet, no online spoilers, walkthroughs or let's plays. You had to either shell out for a hint book, or play through it to the end.

That's the way it was and we liked it.

This was the first Adventure game I've ever played and i was hooked from the first second I started it and became a fan of classic adventures ever since. Still play it for old times sake!

Actually, like every game in the series, King's Quest 3 was released with a hintbook, available separately.
So it's very unlikely that everybody thought there was no connection between the protagonist and King Graham.
There was no World Wide Web back then, tho, so i guess many people didn't buy the hint book and those who did had no way to spread the info.

I didn't like kq3 very much, but instead I loved number 4!
I agree with Mimi, graham just isn't a funny character.
Dying all the times isn't fun, that's mainly the reason I didn't like kq3

and nr8 Sucks so bad, i don't think it's even adventure, just killing.
