Start New Game

Click on this button to start a new game.  You will be prompted to name your game.  You must give it a unique name that is not already being used.  For example: if you have a game named "SIERRA" you will not be able to start a new game and also call it "SIERRA."


Continue Old Game

Click on this button to continue a game you've already been playing.  This will put you back in the same place you left off so you can continue right from there.  This option will not appear until you have an old game to continue.


Watch Intro

Click on this button to watch the opening cartoon of the game.


About

Click on this button to get information about the game, hints on how to play, help with the interface, customer support questions, credits, etc.


Quit

Click on this button to quit the game.  When you quit (if you've been playing a game) your game place will be "Book Marked."  The next time you start you will be able to continue this game by clicking on the "Continue Old Game" button and then selecting the game with the name you gave it.


The Cursor

The King's Quest VII interface is based on a single cursor.  With this cursor, you can fully explore and interact with the game world.  Pass your cursor over the screen.   When there is something to interact with, the cursor will highlight.  You can then click the cursor on the object highlighted by using your left mouse button, and find out what happens!


Inventory Objects

Taking Inventory Objects

Examining Inventory Objects

Manipulating Inventory Objects

Combining Inventory Objects


Taking Inventory Objects

Sometimes when you click your cursor on an object on the screen, you will take that object and it will appear in your inventory.


Examining Inventory Objects

You can examine your inventory objects by clicking on an item that appears in your inventory (the item now becomes your cursor).  Now click the cursor on the EYE located near the bottom right of the screen.  This will allow you to see the inventory object in three dimensions.  You can rotate the object by  clicking and holding down the right mouse button and then moving the mouse in the direction you want the item to rotate.  To close the 3D window, click on the button located in the upper left hand corner of the 3D window.


Manipulating Inventory Objects

In some instances, you can manipulate the object by clicking on it with your play cursor.  Check each inventory item carefully.  It may conceal something important!


Combining Inventory Objects

Some inventory objects can be combined with others to create a new inventory object.  To do this, click the cursor on an item (it becomes your cursor).  Now click that item on the item you want to combine it with.


The CONTROLS Icon

Clicking on this icon with your game cursor will bring up the options screen.  In the options screen you will see what chapter you're in and how far through it you are.  You will be able to set the VOLUME of the sound in the game by clicking on the increase/decrease volume control.  QUIT allows you to "Quit" the game.  Your place in the game will automatically be saved, or "Book Marked."   PLAY closes the options panel and allows you to continue your game.


The SCROLLER Slider

This slider will appear on the interface when you're in a screen that can scroll.  By clicking and holding down the mouse button on this slider you can move the picture from left to right.  NOTE: You cannot scroll your character off the screen.


The ">>" Icon

This icon will appear on the interface when you're in a cartoon sequence.  Clicking on this icon will cause the sequence to be skipped.  You may want to skip a sequence if you've played the game before.  However, if you've not played the game before, skipping a cartoon may cause you to miss important clues about the game.


The EYE Icon

You can examine your inventory objects by clicking on an item that appears in your inventory (the item now becomes your cursor).  Now click the cursor on the EYE located near the bottom right of the screen.  This will allow you to see the inventory object in three dimensions.  You can rotate the object by  clicking and holding down the right mouse button and then moving the mouse in the direction you want the item to rotate.  To close the 3D window, click on the button located in the upper left-hand corner of the 3D window.


Game Strategy - Game Strategy
Game Strategy

The world of King's Quest VII is a world of exploration, and you wouldn't want to miss anything!   Look at each new room carefully.  Click on anything and everything that causes your cursor to highlight.  Think creatively:  Sometimes there is more than one solution to a puzzle, and the most obvious one may not be the best.  If you feel you are "stuck," leave the room and explore others.  You never know where you might find just what you need.  Above all, relax, let your imagination run wild, and have fun!


Base or Extended Synth

There a two different formats for MIDI music under Windows: Base and Extended.   MIDI music under the Windows MIDI Mapper can play on up to 16 channels. You can check to see how your sound card is set up by looking at your MIDI Mapper found under the Control Panel in Main.

Base MIDI music plays on channels 13 through 16 with channel 16 being the channel on which percussion or drums play.   If you have a Base synth (SoundBlaster FM card or compatible) you should have ONLY channels 13 through 16 marked as active in your MIDI Mapper.

Extended MIDI music plays on channels 1 through 10 with channel 10 being the channel on which percussion or drums play.  If you have an Extended synth (Roland SoundCanvas or compatible, SoundBlaster AWE, Turtle Beach, etc.) you should have channels 1 through 10 marked as active in your MIDI Mapper.


MIDI Mapper

The MIDI Mapper can be found by opening the "Main" window and clicking on the "Control Panel" Icon.  The MIDI Mapper should be one of your icons found in the "Control Panel" window.  Determine whether you have a Base or Extended synth and make the appropriate settings.

NOTE: Most manufacturers adhere to the standards set up by the Windows conventions.  However, we have noted some that install their "FM" synths as Extended devices.  If you're experiencing poor MIDI music you might try changing your soundcard to play as a Base synth.


MT-32 Owners

An MT-32 is not fully an Extended synth.  The MT-32 ONLY receives on 9 channels, not 10.  That means that it is possible that you could be missing 1 channel (or instrument) that could be playing at any given time.  We recommend that you configure your MIDI Mapper so that you receive (have active) ONLY channels 2 though 10.  Make sure that your "Src Chan" and your "Dest Chan" are set the same (they should be  mapped so that channel 2 receives channel 2, channel 3 receives channel 3, and so on).  Make sure that you are using the MT-32 patch under "Patch Map Name," and that you use MT-32 Perc on Channel 10.
