Kings quest series was very good excepf for the earlier ones like K3,4 and 
5. Starting with KQ6 and KQ7 they were good games. I personally liked KQ7 
the best. KQ8 was a dud. I like some of those fanciful type imaginative 
fairy tales.

Well, you get lucky now and then.

bloated heads? I can only think about Monkey island later games with bloated 
heads, cartoon type figures. is that what you mean.

I liked it though not at first, you have to play it for a little while. I 
played the demo but didn't think I would be interested in the game but one 
time it was on Gog for a cheap weekend sale price and I got it, and its 
quite a long game. a bit cartoonish looking and its a bit fanciful and for 
the young at heart IMO I would say. It has a demo. I played the demo which 
was ok, but I waited till the game was cheaper one weekend and got it then. 
Its not cheap right now at Gog. but Steam has a sale on till Feb. 23 of 
Night of the Rabbit and Whispered World and Gomo never heard of it - 3 games 
for $11.21.

Ive played Whispered world and I liked it too. You might want to see if 
there is a demo of these games before buying and it may not be your cup of 
tea at all. I think they are both amusing kind of gmaes, kind of different.

You could check it on Steam. the Night of the rabbit by itself is $20.00 or 
so, but you can get 3 games for $11.21.
here is the link:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/230820/  - look at Fairytale Bundle 
special. scroll down the link and you can check peoples reviews and download 
the demo if interested.
