I'm a little confused. The original Kings Quest was not a point and click game it was keyboard only. Maybe they are meaning that if we are expecting a Point and Click etc. I remember those days where you navigated with arrow keys and had to type in your speech commands.
Sierra's VGA remake of KQ1, as well as their later King's Quest adventure games, took advantage of technological progress and used the mouse. And you can bet any modern commercial remake won't be using a parser.
To see the types of games The Odd Gentlemen has made,
The Misadventures of P. B. Winterbottom

Wayward Manor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UwAcx9e3tcThere's nothing wrong with those games if your young kids enjoy them.
But that's not what the King's Quest games were about.
I'd rather not see the King's Quest series turned into an arcade game for pre-schoolers -- and why would Activision hire a company that specializes in arcade-type games for pre-schoolers if that isn't what they had in mind.
