About this game
Thayer's Quest is a LaserDisc video game initially developed by RDI Video Systems in 1984 for their unreleased Halcyon console, and later released in arcades as a conversion kit for Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. The arcade machine had a membrane keypad for controls instead of a joystick. To help players learn the daunting—for an arcade game—controls, a small holder containing instructional leaflets was attached to the cabinet. In 1995 Kingdom: The Far Reaches was released, a point and click adventure game for PC, 3DO and CD-i that re-uses the animation and some elements from Thayer's Quest with a new voice over to give the game a new story. A sequel to this reworked version, Kingdom II: Shadoan, was released in 1996.
