It is the first and only game in the series where the main character is neither King Graham nor a member of his family, the first in the series to use a full 3D engine as opposed to the 2D cartoon or pixel style of the earlier games and the first to omit the sequel numbering system on box artwork and title screen (though technically the first King's Quest game did not originally have number or a subtitle), though references to it being the eighth game appear in the file structure (and manual) and the game was marketed as KQ8 on the official website, interviews, and other places. The updated 'gamecard/boxart' for digital release on GOG.com now lists the game as King's Quest VIII: Mask of Eternity.It has been re-released by Activision as part of the King's Quest 7+8 pack through GOG.com (September, 2010) and patched to work on Vista and Windows 7 32 and 64bit. Although this release was a digital download only, it has a bug and will not run unless an optical drive is present on the computer (or use of virtual drive like Daemon Tools). A fan patch is available for retail copies of the game that allows them to run on modern computers and computers without optical drives (such as a netbook), and it fixes several cutscene lockups (it is incompatible with the GoG release)."@en }
