Human Cannonball

A three-headed dragon threatens the ever-peaceful Daventry, and requires a maiden to be sacrificed every year.

Rosella is the chosen one.

Meanwhile, in a secluded house atop a mountain in the land of Llewdor, the evil wizard called Manannan keeps a young lad named Gwydion as his slave, forcing him to do menial tasks as he prepares his spells and observes the country through his telescope.

Gwydion must find a way to outsmart the wizard, escape, and eventually discover the truth about his own identity.

King's Quest III: To Heir is Human is an adventure game similar in basic gameplay mechanics to its predecessor The player navigates Gwydion with arrow keys and interacts with the environment by typing verb and noun combination commands.

Llewdor consists of interconnected screens that loop once the player character reaches the border of the land.

Throughout the course of the game, Gwydion will also travel to other locations and have a magic map at his disposal, allowing him to teleport to different areas.

There are more items to collect in this installment, and more complex actions required to execute, raising the difficulty level.

A large part of the game proceeds in real time, with Mannanan following his own schedule, forcing the player to plan and time his actions.

There is also a time limit imposed on the game's first major quest.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Human Cannonball, loose is €7.88 and CIB is €8.76 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
