King's Quest V — About this game
King's Quest V on NES is an exploration and puzzle adventure, not a combat-focused RPG. Graham travels with the owl Cedric, gathering clues and useful objects on his way to Mordack. An icon bar handles examining, conversation and item use. Careful observation matters: a seemingly ordinary object may solve a later problem.
