''King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride'' is a graphic adventure game released in 1994 by Sierra On-Line. It features high-resolution graphics in a style reminiscent of Disney animated films. It is also the only ''King's Quest'' (''KQ'') game with multiple protagonists, and the only one to divide the story into chapters. In ''King's Quest VII'', the protagonists Queen Valanice and Princess Rosella are spirited away to the desert land of Eldritch and Rosella is transformed into a troll. They must find a way to return Rosella to normal and find her true love, save Eldritch from the threat of the evil sorceress Malicia, and get back to their kingdom Daventry. Although less linear in terms of ending than earlier entries in the series, ''King's Quest VII'' does not include as many different endings or optional tasks and plot threads as ''King's Quest VI''. Some puzzles do have multiple solutions, and there are two possible endings. == Gameplay == ''King's Quest VII'' is different from other ''King's Quest'' games in terms of structure. The action is separated into six chapters, each set primarily in a different region of the realm of Eldritch. The player alternates between two heroines, Valanice and Rosella, with each chapter. The two heroines travel through some of the same places during the course of the game, finally meeting up again in the end. Aside from the multi-chapter layout, the most significant change in game structure is the introduction of the smart pointer. When playing the game, the pointer lights up when passed over an object that can be used. Players can get or use objects and talk to characters by directly clicking on them, whereas previous games required the player to select an action icon and then click on the environment. Players can click on the environment without indicating which parts of the game could be interacted with. One of the game's highlights is its graphics; ''King's Quest VII'' has very elaborate and colorful graphics, compared to other games of the time, with painted backgrounds and animation techniques. The game makes use of SVGA graphics, new at the time, before ''The Dig'' and ''Space Quest 6''. Also included are certain areas that pan from one side to the other, rather than going from screen to screen. Despite the cartoonish graphics characteristic of family-friendly computer games, the game has several violent death scenes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King's Quest VII」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
