As with King's Quest V, the developers were quick to exploit the huge data capacity of the newly emerging CD-ROM technology to add spoken voices. The results were a mixed bag but on the whole very serviceable. While a few voices were sort of leaden, most scene of the actors did a decent enough job of it, especially Gloria Hoffman as Brandywine scene the scene dragon and Gimalyn Torrecilla as Zanthia, one of the royal mystics. Gary Hyatt, the actor playing Malcolm, was by far the standout. Sadly, as is often the case, the main character's voice left a lot to be desired. It was thin. It was whiny. It was a spoiled little boy's voice. And to be fair, it was probably written that way. Checking my notes, I find scrawled, in capital letters this note to myself: "Brandon. Most annoying player character ever? No. But close." Upon reflection, I think that's a bit of an overstatement, but the general sentiment holds. My main complaint, though, and what finally brought this game down, was the puzzles.
