Kings Quest 7 was actually one of my most favourite games as a kid but having revisited these two, I don't feel like it has aged very well.
Kings Quest 7 has the big problem with bugs that destroy the awesome game (sound bugs and that infamous music bug where the midi sound "gets stuck" and starts to play even when other music plays, and the only solution is to shut off and turn on the game) and weird puzzles that I still have no idea how you would find it without a strategy guide (harp puzzle).
The eighth one, I haven't played much of yet but it really doesn't feel like a KQ game.
This is recommended ONLY for the big fans of the series.
Instead pick up the 4&5&6 combo on GOG instead.
This is just a big disappointment and, as said above, only for the big fans.
