There's this game out there that's supposed to be a parody of the early "King's Quest" games. It. Is. RIDICULOUS! I think that's the point, but I also don't see how anybody could do much without a walkthrough. But, if you need a laugh, this game might be worth trying.

I'd not heard of this game before, but I just finished it and it's very fun :)! Thanks for the recommendation.

Here's a link for anyone else who finds this thread and wants to try it (the game runs in your browser):
