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.
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Human Cannonball (Cannon Man) for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Human Cannonball (Cannon Man) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A2600 release dates back to 1979.
