It is done.

Today I learned there are multiple paintings of King Graham in Minecraft

Princess Pearl @princess-pearl.bsky.social · 2d

I was watching a Minecraft YouTuber earlier today. They were talking about this painting and referred to it as "the Pinocchio one." Put some respect on King Graham's name!

The Minecraft painting that shows a sprite of King Graham used in King's Quest 1 and 2.

Last part of my Universe playthrough (the Amiga CD32 version): www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSg1...

Always good to see the Man-Brute again, though. 😍

Road Fighter (Konami, 1985) for the Famicom / NES.
