The 'wrap around' has affected the drawn artwork maps and diagrams in strategy guides and hint books. For example, various maps were drawn for the King's Quest Companion's first three editions, which tried to portray the various lands of the first four games. The looping caused each artist to portray the edges of their maps differently, and thus locations were shown in different places on each map.[7][8][9] The maps drawn for KQ3 more or less stuck to the geography defined by the magic map. The KQ1 maps show the most dramatic differences in interpretation. For example, the Door into Mountain being shown as being part of a mountain range in two of the maps, and as a central mountain in the third. The looping situation has been explained in The King's Quest Companion (retroactive continuity) by saying that the character is trapped in the region magically, magical law of containment .

I think everyone can agree that KQ7 is a geat game. However, I also liked KQ8 a lot. You just mustn't expect a King's Quest game, because it isn't. It plays in the same universe, but it is totally different. It is a third person action adventure game with light RPG elements, offering a nice mix of puzzles and action. The graphics may be dated nowadays, but the atmosphere the game creates is great. In my opinion, it is definitely worth a try.
