He is now trapped alone in a foreign land, fighting impossible odds to find the love he has sought for such a long time. The ship is stranded on the cliffs, and Alexander is washed up on a nearby beach. Filled with hope, he commands the ship into the bay, not knowing how treacherous these waters are. Looking at the stars, he knows he is nearing his destination, and soon land is spotted on the horizon. Time passes, and eventually he and his crew have sailed far beyond any known lands and are in uncharted waters, but Alexander refuses to give up hope. Prince Alexander is still haunted by memories of the lovely Princess of the Green Isles (see KQ5), and when the magic mirror shows him her whereabouts, he sets out to find her at once, with only the stars for navigation. The CD-ROM version of the game includes both DOS and Windows versions, full speech, a 50-meg introduction, and the Girl in the Tower theme song. Like its predecessor, actions are performed using a point-and-click interface. There are many alternate paths you can take, as well as different endings you can watch. To successfully help him, he must travel between the Land's four islands and encounter strange beasts that will either help or hinder him. by no means a showstopping bug.In King's Quest VI, you play the role of Prince Alexander, as he desperately searches for Princess Cassima of the Land of the Green Isles, who is being held against her will by her captor, Vizier Abdul Alhazred. Sounds tedious but it only takes a couple of minutes. Each time you "try again" you can get closer to where you need to bring the firecracker, until you finally make it. The firecracker will explode quickly again but you'll have an opportunity to take a few steps before it does. Or, you can just select the "try again" option when Valanice dies.
You can use a program like MoSlo or Turbo (both available for free download) to slow down the processor and get past that point. The issue posted above, involving the firecracker, is a timing bug that's related to the speed of your processor, not the operating system you're using.
The computer may need to be set to 256 colors and 640x480 resolution (either with compatibility mode or manually) for it to work properly. There are different versions (DOS and Windows) but the one I ran (Windows version 2.00b) worked fine. I didn't have any problem running this game under XP.
