He finds out that Malcolm has stolen the Kyragem, a mystic stone that contains the kingdom's energy. Brandon, oblivious of his past, soon discovers the truth about his origins. Malcolm has fun destroying trees of the country, and faces Kallak, turning him into stone. Brandon, the prince, has been hidden in the forest by his grandfather (Queen Katherine's father) Kallak, who is also chief of the Mystics. In the fantasy kingdom of Kyrandia, King William and his wife, Queen Katherine, have been murdered by the evil court jester Malcolm, a madman who possesses vast magical powers. In general, the puzzles in the series are based on experimenting with inventory items, combining them or depositing them in the correct places. It is notable for the variety of allowed physical actions you could subject the items to, especially the great freedom of dropping and picking up objects, which was used for some of the puzzles.

Though vaguely reminiscent of point-and-click adventure games of the period, the primary detail that distinguished Westwood's trilogy was the use of a single 'use' action, as opposed to multi-action interfaces.Īll three games are characterized by a quite innovative inventory system. The Legend of Kyrandia became known for its extremely simple interface, a feature present in all three games in the series. The series is now owned by Electronic Arts. The original game spawned two sequels The Hand of Fate and Malcolm's Revenge. Each game is played in a 2D format from a third-person perspective and involves using the point-and-click interface to guide said characters throughout the game's world, solving puzzles, quests and interacting with the environment. It primarily takes place in the fantasy land of Kyrandia, where the player assumes the role of the young hero Brandon (Book One), the royal mystic Zanthia (Book Two) and the evil court jester Malcolm (Book Three) the antagonist of the first game. The Legend of Kyrandia is a point-and-click graphic adventure game series, developed by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Interactive (previously Virgin Games). Unfortunately, this game is currently available only in this version. If you prefer to use a java applet emulator, follow this link.
