"I've spent like three months...like million years in the madhouse. A trillion suicide attempts. And all the time just bad dreams...dreams about her dead eyes, blood and despair." Several megabytes containing slighty moronic, pseudo-philosophical texts, depressive moody graphics and an ambient melancholic music, an absurd story and primitive puzzles. All of this awaits you in this 1st person 2D adventure game.

Using well-placed musical cues and subtle environmental sound the author has created a virtual world that draws you in from the moment you launch the game. The setting and aesthetics are so enticing and mysterious, it doesn't matter at first that you don't know what your ultimate goal is (or indeed if you have one).

Can you open the stone portal and unleash the power within? I bet you can't. So, this is my little flash game. Not so much a game, I suppose, as a little interactive world of bizarity. But it is possible to 'win', so it's going under games. If you want help, click the little question mark.

The game loosely mirrors a portion of the series' plot, beginning with the impending destruction of Arthur Dent's house and subsequent demolition of the Earth by Vogons. After being rescued from open space by the Heart of Gold and figuring out how to activate the Infinite Improbability Drive, the player is hurled through space and time, assuming the roles of Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Trillian at various intervals. (The question of the player character's identity at any time can be answered by the innovative WHO AM I command.) For the majority of the game, Arthur Dent is the main player character. NOTE: This version of the game was released by BBC on their website to commemorate the 20th Anniversary and to promote the new H2G2 radio series. It incorporates some limited graphics, but is basically the same game. There are two different versions, containing different graphics on their website.

King's Quest: Quest for the Crown, a revolutionary game designed by Roberta Williams and released in 1984, epitomizes the adventure gaming experience. This game was the first of its kind that allowed the player to interact in an entirely original 2.5D world, and can be credited as the game that started graphic adventure gaming on the PC altogether. King's Quest was not only groundbreaking, but also history in the making, and was followed by seven more games bearing the King's Quest title. In 1990, Sierra released a remake of the original King's Quest game with newer technology and graphics (using their SCI engine, 16 color EGA graphics, sound card and mouse support), which ended up being a total market failure. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that Sierra ever had or will have any thoughts of making an even further updated version of King's Quest 1, because they would most likely lose money. That's where the Anonymous Game Developers decided to take over. Our aim was to remake King's Quest 1 with the same level of quality as Sierra's remake of Quest for Glory 1. We believe that the enhanced gaming experience for King's Quest fans has justified our months of hard work for no pay or credit.

King's Quest II was the sequel to the original King's Quest game designed by Roberta Williams. Many people regard this to be the game most in need of an upgrade. Several people were discontented with this sequel, believing the puzzles were illogical and the storyline was too sparse. Additionally, the graphics, which were impressive for its time, are now painfully outdated, and several computers cannot even run the game with sound anymore! To make things even worse, this classic is no longer available in stores. The King's Quest II+ VGA remake is similar to AGDI's King's Quest I VGA remake, which upgraded the graphics and interface of the original King's Quest game, but this time there's added storyline, puzzles, art, music, atmosphere, depth, culture, and more - basically, the whole nine yards!
