In 2001, the group AGD Interactive (Anonymous Game Developers Interactive) released an unofficial remake based on Sierra's 1990 version, updating the graphics
to use 256 colors, dropping the parser in favor of an interface that mimics that of King's Quest V and VI, as well as adding full speech for all characters of
the game.
Now VGA may sounds weak, but considering the original game was in 16 colors, it doesn’t take much to improve upon the original graphics. AGD’s version of the
game keeps much of the story alive. This is the story about Sir Graham and his rise to power. It all begins with an ailing king with no heir. The kingdom is in
trouble and you are chosen to seek out three mystical treasures that will save the land. In some versions of King’s Quest, the story is greatly expanded as to
why these treasures are needed, but in AGD’s version, they stayed true to the original PCJr version, which lacked any real backstory.
The latter is especially noteworthy in that even though it is an unofficial, fan-made project, the game's protagonist King Graham is voiced by Josh Mandel.
