King's Quest VI/YMMV


 * Accidental Innuendo: When Alex pulls out the Magic Map: "Alexander feels a strange pulling sensation."
 * Awesome Music: The Award Bait Song "Girl in the Tower", composed by Mark Seibert and performed by Bob Berghold and Debbie Seibert. How kick-ass is that?
 * Complete Monster: Alhazred is possibly the most evil of the series' antagonists. Running a years-long Evil Plan by winning the trust of the King and Queen? Manipulating the islands into an inch of civil war? Planning to forcibly wed Cassima ? Yeah, Alex, this guy needs to go.
 * Ear Worm: Most of the soundtrack.
 * Epileptic Trees: The Black Cloak Society is mentioned precisely once in the game, in an easily missed optional letter in the harder route through the game. Nothing much is ever explained about the BCS, yet fan theories run wild about it.
 * Even Better Sequel: This game was received with rave reviews, is generally regarded as the highest point in franchise, and perhaps the only one that can be enjoyed at face value today.
 * Funny Moments: The whole scene with Bump-on-a-Log and Stick-in-the-Mud.
 * The xylophone scene, complete with the skeletons' dance moves and three skeletons dance-kicking too!
 * Almost any scene with Shamir Shamazel, the Shapeshifting Genie, is hilarious, especially whenever he talks in high-pitched voices, goes into some funny disguises, or gets drunk on mints.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: To any 90s kid who has played King's Quest VI: Go on, tell us you saw and didn't get reminded of gay marriage.
 * Memetic Mutation: "Alexander feels a strange pulling sensation."
 * MMAAGGICC SMAAAAAAAAAAAAPP!!
 * Nightmare Fuel: Where to begin...almost being burned to death as a Human Sacrifice, the Minotaur with his ghastly altar, the catacombs and their Death Traps. The Faux Death (if you don't know it's fake), and the entire Land of the Dead. Play this and King's Quest IV the Perils of Rosella with the lights on.
 * Polished Port: In 1993, a PC CD-ROM adaptation of the game was released for both the MS-DOS and Windows 3.1x versions, and besides the voice-acting and mouth movements in character portraits that had been absent in the floppy diskette version on MS-DOS (which also kept the low-resolution graphics), the Windows version had high-resolution graphics that doubled the resolution graphics of MS-DOS. And not only did the Windows version enhance character portraits with mouth movements, it also featured their blinking eyes, eyebrow movements and mood changes.
 * Seinfeld Is Unfunny: The CD-ROM version was one of the first to feature Hollywood voice acting, a practice that is now routine.
