About this game

King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder! is a 1990 graphic adventure game by Sierra On-Line. Originally released in November 1990, it featured a significant improvement in graphics. It was also the first King's Quest installment to replace the typing user interface with a point-and-click user interface. The title is a spoof on the proverb "Absence makes the heart grow fonder".

A stripped down version of the PC game of the same name. Changes include severely reduced visual fidelity, the removal of any voice acting, along with heavy censorship due to Nintendo of America's strict guidelines.

Storyline

As foretold by ancient warlords, King's Quest V has finally arrived to weed out the weak and immortalize the brave. The only question now is... which are you?
