AGD Interactive announces the release of King's Quest III Redux: To Heir Is Human, just one month after announcing this freeware remake, and less than a week after Telltale announced they are reviving the King's Quest series upon which it is based. They also announce their next project, Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements, saying this "will combine classic adventure puzzles with RPG-style character customization in a format reminiscent of Sierra's famed Quest for Glory series" when it is released late next year. More details can be found on this page. The PC and Mac editions of King's Quest III Redux can be downloaded from this page, and here's more on what to expect from that:

King's Quest III Redux stays true to Sierra's 1986 classic while improving on elements that detracted from the original experience. Where the original King's Quest III had blocky 16-color EGA graphics and a frustrating text parser, AGD Interactive's remake features hand-painted SVGA graphics and a point and click interface reminiscent of later games in the series. The game has been polished to perfection, with lush storybook-style visuals, professional voice acting with Hollywood actor Robert Adamson in the role of Gwydion, and an original digital soundtrack composed especially for the remake. While the gameplay is largely unchanged, King's Quest III Redux does include a number of original puzzles and puts a new spin on the story.
