Background[]

Chapter is a term used quite a bit concerning the King's Quest series (in part to give a storybook like description). Each of the eight original games were often described as 'Chapters' or 'Episodes' by the developers. Thus King's Quest I was, Chapter I of the series, and King's Quest VIII, was Chapter VIII.[1][2][3] Another term used is Saga.

Chapters also refer to the sections of the King's Quest books, and the six parts of the King's Quest VII game.

King's Quest: Adventures of Graham also uses chapters for each individual part, which also represent separate stories.
