Before us is the continuation of one of the most famous hits of the era of the first PlayStation. A whole year has passed since the terrible events on the island. But, as you know, such events do not teach people anything, since Dr. Kirk's experiments were continued in one of the research centers of the military base.

After this experiment, the center, the base and the adjacent town were lost, and in their place appeared the jungle of some ancient era. To study the consequences and normalize the situation, a whole rescue team was sent. Once on the island, our soldiers decide to set up a small camp, but before they can relax, they are attacked by dinosaurs! After the attack of the T-Rex, only three remain alive: Regina (the heroine of the last part), Dylan and David. This is where our adventure begins. After the destruction of the camp, Dylan falls under our control. Search the soldier's corpse and go through the doors. Go ahead, take up arms, because soon you will be attacked by raptors. Kill them and move on, climbing up the stairs. Run further, shoot back from the dinosaurs, there you will see the second ladder. Use it to go down.

The next two locations follow the same principle, shoot at the dinosaurs and make your way forward, until you find yourself at the water tower, go into it. Inside, a man in a helmet will be waiting for you. Settled in the cut scenes, take one of the dino folders from the floor, it will contain information about dinosaurs that the military from all over the world could get. If necessary, save and move towards the military facility.

At the military base, you will meet the T-Rex already familiar to you. You won't be able to kill him, so run to the door on the left. In the room, search the table that is located to the right of the counter, there will be a folder with information about the T-Rex. Go to the next corridor, then go to the first-aid post. Take the key in it, then follow to the T-Rex. Run as fast as you can to the other door. Go ahead and search the room - on the opposite side of the entrance, on the wall, you will see a special box, open it using the key that you found in the infirmary, so you will receive a card to enter the laboratory. After that, you will be informed that you have illegally entered the territory of the military base, so all doors will be urgently closed. The doors will slam shut and Dylan will be trapped, he will immediately contact Regina to request help.

Now under our control of Regina, go to the stairs, climb it and go to the double doors. Open them with a shocker and go on. Examine the corpse of the soldier, he will have the third file about dinosaurs. Go to the research center. Before entering the center, you will encounter an allosaurus, but you will not be able to damage it, so run as quickly as possible to the double doors. Next, go to the radio room, save there and get a flamethrower and exit it. Then those masked people appear again, Regina manages to catch one of them and it turns out to be some kind of girl. Regina takes her to the radio room and chains her to a pipe. Leave the research center and go to the area with poisonous plants.

After passing through two locations with plants, you will get to the water tower. The place is quiet here, so save and collect ammo, then go to the military base. At the military base, first go to the room where Dylan is. Take the key in front of the door and search the panel to the left of the door, it is blue. After that, go back and go to the double door, through the reception room and into the corridor.

Open the door at the end of the corridor using the shocker and go to the control room. Climb up the stairs and take the file, it will tell you what to do with the keys.
Get down downward and you pass further into the room. At the end of the room, on the wall, you can see a panel with keys. Now install the key that Dylan threw away, the one that is green and take it back, which is blue.

Now we can go back to free Dylan. After a little dialogue between Regina and Dylan, we must return to the ship. But not everything is so simple, someone destroyed the gate and therefore Regina, Dylan and David will not be able to return to the correct timeline. Save and go back to the jungle.

At this location, kill the allosaurus and go through the third door. Another allsaurus will be waiting for you by the river, kill him and move on. Examine the river and go downstream. But be careful, because somewhere here is a key card from the third power unit. After that, head through the water tower, through the place with poisonous plants, so you will pass to the research center. After you get to the research center, look at the doors, it is still wrapped in ivy. Chop it with a machete, now you can go inside. Proceed further to the entrance to the laboratory. Use the map from the lab on the panel to the right of the door to open it.

While in the laboratory, go straight and to the right, use the machete to go through the door. In the room, close all hatches, except for one, the one next to the computer terminal to save the game. Examine the cages - do you see red lights on two, and green on one? Search the cage on the left against the wall, open it and take the dyno file. After that, go to the next location, pick up the file from the table, close the ventilation hatch, which is located at the next door.

Enter the doors and you will enter the first room. Next, go to the door at the end of the corridor. Use the key card from the laboratory and then ... a small dino will snatch the card right out of Dylan's hands. There's nothing you can do - you have to catch this bastard. Use your machete to try to drive him into the open ventilation hatch, then enter the lab, close the hatch (so the Compsognathus can't get out) and drive him into the cage. After receiving the key card, return to the corridor and go through the last door (using the key card). In the room behind the door, take the file and part.

Now leave the laboratory and return to the ship. It turns out that the girl managed to free herself from the handcuffs and escaped. Then, after talking with Regina, press the button on the control panel and select the direction to the third power unit. On the way you will be attacked by sea creatures and flyers - defend yourself from them with a flamethrower.

So, you are in control of Regina again. Buy a machine gun and leave the ship. Go through the dock (fend off water creatures and flyers along the way). As soon as you get to the storage unit of the third power unit, search the car and find a new dino folder. Then go further and take the file lying next to the corpse of a soldier - you have already found this key (and if not, then you will have to return to the jungle) and now go to the next door. Insert the key card from the third power unit into the panel to the left of doors - door and will open. Enter the door and run further through the boat (by the way, pay attention to the box for small tools, you will have to return here) and go further - to the control room of the third power unit.

First, search the console at the entrance - you will find the key to the box on the boat, then take the file from the console by the window and search the panel opposite the door - you will find another dyno file. Now exit through this door, run further and search the corpse - you will find it ID card Mechanics. Return to the control room and go to the boat. Open the drawer and take the file from there. This file contains three of the four digits for the elevator code in the control room. Return to the control room of the third power unit and go to the elevator. First, use the mechanic's ID card and try entering the code. For example, I had code #4.01 Using the selection method, try to find the desired number. In this case, the correct code is 4015. True, another time there may be another code - several options are possible here.

Go down the elevator, go through the corridor and head through the next door. Now go forward a little and inspect the panel. Now you need to start the generator - start the panel and the lights on the switches will change to green. In case of overload (flashing red light), hit it with a shocker. After starting the generator, go downstairs, take the file from the computer and diving suit. Press the button on the control panel and go down - under the water.

Under water, you will meet with local inhabitants - meso-lizards. Shoot them and jump down until you see a door. You have entered the water supply control room. If you need to save the game, and then inspect the remote control - now you can't turn it on, you need a plug to the shutter. Take the file and exit through the next double doors, pass the corridor and the next room. Now you are in the water cooling system of the third reactor. Go to the north door of the hall, but it's too early for us to get there... Jump to the platform to the right of the door and carefully move on. Walk along the top to the middle of the hall, and then jump to the central platform. Now turn left and onto the next platform.

Shoot at the column and now you can enter the doors. In the next room, first of all, turn on the elevator (suddenly you will accidentally fall down and you will need to start all over again), go further and take the plug to the shutter from the corpse. Return to the water supply control room and open the cooling pipeline. Now again return to the water cooling system of the third reactor and go through the northern double doors. Now you are in the pipeline. If necessary, save the game, replenish your ammo and take the elevator up. Take key card from Edward City next to the corpse, and a little further you will find a new dyno file.

Take the next elevator down and get to the third reactor - here the next boss is waiting for you. In fact, he is not so scary - a few shots from the aquagrange and the boss will pop up belly up. Excellent Regina, good job! Jump up the platforms and go up the elevator. You are in front of Edward City. After talking with Dilano, Regina heads to town. Hurry after her.

Go through the next door to the left (from us to the right), deal with the allosaurus and save the game in the terminal and buy a mortar. Go back and run further, take another dyno file from the corpse next to the car. Go through the door to the right (cut the ivy with a machete) - you will meet Regina on the shore. After passing two zones of the coast you will get to the entrance to the cave. Use the mortar to blow up the limestone stone and go further.

Having safely passed the caves, you will reach a military facility. Here, if necessary, save the game and go up the stairs. God! Yes, there is a whole nest of allosaurs! At first, you control Regina, Dylan will drop a flare gun for you, and when the allosaurs really get you, you need to shoot into the air and then your partner will cover you. When Regina gets to the next cannon, it will be Dylan's turn. When you get to the third cannon, you play as Regina again. When Regina finally reaches the last cannon, she and Dylan will leave the military facility.

Save the game if necessary and take the dyno file from the corpse. Pass dasha and you will see the torn triceratops. And then out of nowhere an adult appears - you can’t explain that it’s not you ... Without hesitation, Regina and Dylan jump into the nearest jeep and try to escape from an angry animal - along the way you will have to shoot back from him. Then the road suddenly ends and the jeep rolls over and flies down the cliff. Fortunately, our heroes manage to jump out of the car before it explodes.

So, Regina and Dylan are in a field and... they're being attacked by dinosaurs. But then David comes to the aid of our friends. He shoots all the beasts from a helicopter, but ... it seems that the inhabitants of the city can no longer be helped. Regina and Dylan head to town...

In the city, first search the corpse - you will find a new dino file. Now head to Robson's shop - there you can save the game, and also take the file and the key to the dwelling. Go outside (beware of flyers!) and go through the opposite door, to the left of the gate. At the end of the next street, open the door and enter it. Here you will find an old familiar T-Rex. Without hesitation, Dylan jumps into the tank - now drive forward, shooting back from the T-Rex along the way.

Having passed the warehouses in this way, you will find yourself on the highway outside the city. Take away the gas mask and... here you will meet an old friend again. Weird, she's got Dylan's dead sister's necklace from somewhere. Regina and Dylan then return to the ship. Now head to the jungle.

Head to the zone of poisonous plants - there is one more unexplored territory. Pass the zone of poisonous gases and get to the garbage dump. If necessary, save your game and go through the next door, across the courtyard and down the stairs. In the control room, take the data disc and rummage around the monitor on the left - you will find the last dyno file. Then go outside and go up the stairs... your old friend T-Rex will visit you, and here is our new friend, the tyrannosaurus. While two big animals are sorting things out, Regina will go downstairs to the control room.

I have bad news - it looks like the warhead is activated and you will have to disable it. You have 10 minutes for everything. But as soon as Regina goes downstairs, our new friend, a tyrannosaurus rex, will appear. Now do this - see the gas plug? Approach it and press the switch and when the gas comes out, shoot from any weapon. Now run to the next plug and when that dino approaches you, do the same. And so several times.

Once you've dealt with the Giganotosaurus, you'll gain access to the launcher. Now, as in the third power unit, run around and wave the shocker. After the program starts, go to the rocket and take the elevator up. Press the button on the remote and open the panel on the warhead. Press the button on the panel and thereby stop the start.

Get down and come back, but... the tyrannosaurus is alive! Regina runs to the launch control room. If necessary, save the game and go through the next door.

Go through two zones and Dylan is waiting for you behind the next doors. Get in the boat and get out of here... But that wasn't the case - the water lock was closed. Now, while David opens the gate, protect him from dinosaurs .. Then the events unfold tragically - allosaurus suddenly attacks our friends and David dies saving Dylan's life.

Dylan falls into the river and the current carries him to the other side. He comes to his senses and sees a girl, she calls him after her. Now you need to protect her from dinosaur attacks. Take her through the jungle, and then as you get to the object, the girl will retire into the building with a brisk step. Follow her, but... you can't get there yet - the door is protected by lasers. To disable these lasers, activate the four switches - green and red on the left and yellow and blue on the right. Now go back to the door and press the button on the remote control on the left - the lasers will disappear and you can enter.

Take the file that is at the entrance and go further to the chief's office. There will be another file from the table, after which, you should save and buy as many first-aid kits, weapons and ammo as possible. After all, we are waiting for the final battle with the boss. Go further into the laboratory. There you will meet the girl again. After the conversation, go through the door, and our final enemy is waiting there.

Tyrannosaurus rex can't be killed with weapons. First, run to the bridge and run to the opposite side, this will not be so easy to do, because the tyrannosaurus will destroy the bridge. Shoot him with your weapon and run to the other side. On the other side, turn on the military satellite control system and press the button on the main remote control. That's it, the tyrannozar is dead.

Go to the doors that lead to the laboratory. Regina will be here. They will launch a temporary gate, but the base will begin to gradually collapse. One of the boxes will crush Dylan's daughter. Dylan decides to stay with her, he gives Regina the disk of the third power unit, because he believes that if she can study the data on this disk, she will be able to return and save them. Regina successfully navigates through the present, while Dylan and her daughter remain at the base, which is blown up. End.

: Teen (T)

is a "3D Adventure" written and designed by Roberta Williams and released in 1998 by Sierra Studios, is the eighth, and at present remains the final, official computer game in the famous King's Quest series. It is the first and only game in the series where the main character is neither King Graham nor a member of his family, the first in the series to use a full 3D engine as opposed to the 2D cartoon or pixel style of the earlier games and the first to omit the sequel numbering system of the previous games. The game was referred to as KQ8 in the directory containing the "Sneak Peek" videos in the King's Quest Collection II and Roberta William's Anthology.

It has been re-released as part of the King's Quest 7+8 pack through GOG.com and patched to work on Vista and Windows 7 32 and 64bit. A fan patch has been made to get the disk version working on modern computers There is also a fan patch for the older version to get the game running on modern systems.

Story

Early on in the game, the half-stone wizard whom Connor encounters conjures for him a magic map that shows all explored areas and allows Connor to teleport between lands once the teleportation sites in each land (except for the Realm of the Sun) have been unlocked.

The game ends with Connor rising to the top of the Realm of the Sun with the restored Mask. A beam of blue light shines on the Mask, seeming to restore its power and it sends out a wave of energy that restores everything to life. The game ends with the Archons being released from their stone prisons and joining Connor who triumphantly lifts his sword into the air.

game play

Preface for gameplay

Above the Kingdom of Daventry is the Realm of the Sun, where magical beings called the Archons guard the Mask of Eternity, an artifact which upholds truth, light, and order. Their leader, Lucreto, turns to evil and shatters the Mask into pieces. When one portion of the mask falls at the feet of a humble tanner named Connor, he picks it up only to find that everyone in Daventry has been turned to stone, including King Graham, and the land sickened. Connor is then appointed by a wizard to travel through different lands and collect all the Mask pieces, eventually arriving in the Realm of the Sun where he must repair the Mask, defeat Lucreto, and bring life back to his land.

Interface

The game combines the single multipurpose context-sensitive cursor from KQ7, and a variation of the Adventure-game item inventory along the top, in addition it also includes information about total mask pieces collected, and total gold coins. Another menu along the bottom of the screen includes information converning level, character experience, curative items, potions offering different abilities. As well as the two current weapons, and armor. On the right side of the menu is the interface for the grappling hook item, and rocks.

The cursor itself was dynamic, and could change into four different types of cursors depending on actions. The primary cursor is the Play Cursor, which functions much like the cursor in KQ7, it is used to; look, take, talk and do. Like in KQ7, if you pick up an item from your inventory, the game switches to an Inventory Cursor. This cursor shows an image of the item you have picked up, and allows you to click it on something else like in KQ7. Next is the Sword Cursor, much like the one seen at the end of KQ6, it is used for combat in the game. The final cursor is the Arrow Cursor, which lets you click on enemies from a distance, and fire projectiles.

The game was designed primarily to be played in third person mode, but also offers a first person mode for those who want to use it. The first person mode was primarily put into the game, to allow players a chance to better look around or get closeups of things the screen. But it can be used to play the game in most instances, except during character interactions.

Genre

Roberta classified KQ8 as a new genre, a 3D Adventure (not to be confused with two dimensional "3-D Animated Adventures" in Sierra"s early history), and it was more than the classical "Adventure" (with maybe the exception of other hybrid adventures such as Quest for Glory , Beyond Zork and Azrael's Tear). As a "3D Adventure" it included Action-adventure & RPG elements, as well as many actions and puzzles that could only be done in 3D, many based on physics, rock tossing, jumping, climbing or 3D combat.

The KQ8 Reference Card notes;

King "s Quest: Mask of Eternity is an Adventure game. Follow the story, talk to everyone, explore, explore, and explore! If you see monsters, protect and defend yourself. If you find something you can take, take it! Most of all have fun, enjoy, and save often!

Lands

To complete the task of collecting all of the shards of the Mask of Eternity, Connor must travel to a variety of topographically different lands. These include:

• The Kingdom of Daventry is where Connor makes his home and where his kingly quest begins. Here he encounters a partially lithified wizard who offers him guidance in finding the remaining pieces of the Mask of Eternity. Connor returns here a few times after leaving to return various things.
• Castle Daventry a separate mini-level that loads from the Kingdom of Daventry. It includes the Dining Hall and Throne Room of Castle Daventry.
• The Dimension of Death, ruled by Lord Azriel, serves as a pseudo-purgatory where souls await judgment. This land exists in a plane outside of any other land in the game and therefore Connor must find portals to access it. Upon the shattering of the Mask of Eternity, the order of the universe was accordingly obliterated and the skeletal soldiers of Lord Azriel became unruly and rebellious. Thus, it becomes part of Connor's mission to quell this uprising. Ultimately he releases Lord Azriel and kills all of the Skeleton Guards. Here he also finds Gweneth and her brother both of whom came through the portal from Daventry with Gweneth following her brother who was on his own quest. Connor saves Gweneth and sends her home where she can be visited later, but her brother is found mortally wounded and dies after speaking with Connor.
• The Swamp bears within its boundaries a portion of the Mask of Eternity. Though the Swamp lies not far from the Kingdom of Daventry, the cataclysm incited by Lucreto caused the road to the Swamp to be blocked off by physical obstacles. Hence, in order to reach the Swamp and obtain another shard of the mask, Connor must travel through the Dimension of Death first. The Swamp Witch rules the Swamp ever since the cataclysm (it used to be ruled by the Mudge the Snail King) and the Oracle of the Tree is located here. In order to go on, Connor must get an antidote for the poisonous waters and kill the Swamp Witch. The Mask piece is in her tower and purifying the cauldron there purifies the Swamp waters and releases Mudge who opens a portal to the next area for you.
• The Underground Realm of the Gnomes is mainly made up of tunnels underneath mountains south of the Swamp. During his journey, Connor meets gnomes endeavoring to reestablish an exit topside of their subterranean home. Here the only way out is the portal back to the Swamp, but with a loadstone the Sage Nome is able to trick the Magic Map into allowing you to teleport to a new area. In order to get it you need to kill the Black Dragon Wyrm in order to get to the device past him. Using first the clear pyramid and then the pale one gotten in Daventry, you get two messages: one from Hector--a Prophet--and one from Lucreto himself.
• The Barren Region is located above the Underground Realm of the Gnomes and at the base of a volcano. It can be accurately characterized by its abundance of lava rivers and dry, hot terrain. Prior to the cataclysm, the inhabitants of this area traded regularly with those people who lived at the top of the volcano. It is now terrorized by the Basilisk and in order to go on you must kill it. But to kill it you need a black diamond and a shaft to form a black diamond pike. The black diamond comes from the heart of the Dragon Wyrm from the previous area, but part of the mission is to get that shaft made so you can get the pike you need. Once the Basilisk is dead you can find the key to the Fire Dwarves" Tunnels where you have learned from the Chief Archon holds another piece of the Mask. After dispatching the Fire Dwarves, freeing the Nymph Queen and retrieving the piece of the Mask, an elevator takes you to the next level.
• The Frozen Reaches are the frigid lands at the top of the volcano encircling a lake of icy water. It is inhabited by Snow Nymphs, Frost Orcs, and Gryphs. You have to face the invisible Snow Mane, get the Flame Sword (which proves useful later) and finally rescue the Gryph King from a fortress. After learning that another piece of the Mask is in the fortress you must kill the Ice Orc's Leader and then can get the piece of the Mask. After you have finished everything in the level, you head to an area where you face a Two Headed Dragon Once it is dead you proceed onto Paradise Lost through a tunnel.
• paradise lost is a small caldera near the Frozen Reaches, and the location of a stonehenge which acts as a portal to the Realm of the Sun. There, placing the Crystal Pyramid in an indentation causes one of the Archons to teleport you to the Realm of the Sun.
• The Realm of the Sun, like the Dimension of Death, is not materially connected to any other part of the world in which Connor's quest takes place. This was holding-place of the Mask of Eternity and the site at which Connor should return all of its broken pieces. Here Connor confronts Lucreto to determine his ultimate destiny. The Realm of the Sun is made up of three levels each representing Truth, Light, and Order.

In addition, another realm is seen at the end of the game within the Realm of the Sun, but is not accessed through a separate load screen.

• The Abyss: The black Abyss is a swirling bottomless pink and black vortex that opens up in the Templ's sanctum sanctorum once the Mask of Eternity is reformed. Lucreto is pulled into it, finally vanquishing him for all eternity. The portal into the realm closes behind alternatively, Connor can be sucked into it, leading to his own entrapment.

Characters

reception

King's Quest: Mask of Eternity was released to generally positive, but mixed reviews. However, it sold well compared to other adventure games at the time; for example, it outsold Grim Fandango 2 to 1. There was a mixed response to the King's Quest: Mask of Eternity, although most reviews tended to be positive, with the most were 70% or higher, many were above 90%, only a few reviews dipped as low as 10%. The game earned Adventure Game of the Year on Adventure Game of the Year at Digital Entertainment On-line

Development

Primary development

Mask of Eternity went through two or three main development phases, in which Roberta's ideas changed, the engine was finalized, and the graphics were finalized. In Fall 1996 Roberta showed off some of her first screenshots of the game's levels, a few enemies, and the placeholder for Connor. Video showing the level development of this version of the game was included in the Roberta William's Anthology. There are scenes for two or three levels that were cut from the final game.

By July 1997, the game had gone into its final phase, and appeared much like it does in the final product. Roberta's team was forced to build a new engine from scratch based on an earlier version of 3Space (as Dynamix was behind finishing schedule the updated Red Baron II version of the 3Space engine). The first gameplay footage of this version appeared in the King "s Quest Collection II. This version was completed until December 1998.

Davidson's involvement

Between September 1996 to January 21, 1997, due to conservative criticism over the content in Roberta's King's Quest: Mask of Eternity and Phantasmagoria by the Davidsons of Davidson & Associates , a team of managers was assigned to work above Roberta Williams. They began creating their own version of KQ8 while ignoring Roberta's version. Their version was purged of combat, violence and possibly religious themes. While Roberta continued to work on her own game including its own script and puzzles, the Davidson's team of managers began to design their script and puzzles for their own version of KQ8.

This ultimately lead to Roberta to believe she had lost control of the game during that period; she even thought about removing her name from the product.

Work on the Davidson version was ultimately cancelled (Davidsons left the company in January 1997 ) and Roberta reasserted her control. But this was not without its damage to the Roberta"s version of the game"s final release (due to loss of time and funding), which was already hurting from other technical issues caused by Dynamix engine development problem and others.

notes

The game "s dialogue has also been written in a more conservative style rather than the modern English style of King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride. Though conservative language does appear in other KQ games, such as the Godmother and Elf in KQ1 remake, Alexander in KQ6 occasionally speaks with more conservative terms. Graham and Rosella speak with a more conservative style in Hoyle, Book of Games, Volume I.

In this game Connor visits Dimension of Death rather than the Land of the Dead shown in King's Quest VI. However, as noted in the manual for King's Quest 6, Guidebook to the Land of the Green Isles, the Land of the Dead is a legend specific to the Green Isles. It is the place where Green Islanders believe they go when they die They journey to Samhain (Death) to be judged and end up in the Sea of ​​Souls in preparation for the next stage of the afterlife. or write about it when he visited the Green Isles. Whereas according to Mask of Eternity"s Manual, the Dimension of Death is part of Daventry"s legends. It is a kind of limbo ruled by Azriel where souls are judged before being moved to their rightful afterlife.

According to the game "s producer Mark Seibert, "Roberta"s point of view was that the Dimension of Death was not the under world (KQ6). It was a unique and different place." Thus both places are considered separate locations which happen to share a similar purpose.

Marc Vulcano who is now at Heavy Iron Studios worked as an animator for the video game.
