Would love to get the chance to play this fully myself one day! As of right now it's stuck on the playstation though. I've seen a playthrough of it on youtube but the person didn't full explore everywhere, would like the chance to do that myself.

As an early zoomer, I didn't play this growing up; but I've been a FromSoft fan since I played Elden Ring (like how Breath of the Wild made me a LoZ fan), & so when I randomly heard about King's Field in a Gameranx video, I was intrigued enough to dig into it; which's how I found out it was FromSofts very 1st IP, & shortly afterwards, about the spinoff series, Shadow Tower, & that they're the IPs that pioneered everything the Souls games & Elden Ring're famous for now, & where many iconic Fromverse elements, like Seath the Scaleless & the Moonlight Greatsword, made their debut. So naturally, when I started emulating retro games on my Steam Deck (because getting the og hardware's prohibitively expensive now), I had to download both the King's Field & Shadow Tower IPs to play; & while they're, as FromSoft games're famous for being, brutally difficult, I've been enjoying them, & I immediately noticed their control scheme was what'd be standard keyboard & mouse controls mapped to a controller, as demonstrated by modern games that, while officially labeled "Soulsborne", or a similar term, actually, whether the developer realized it or not, take more after King's Field &/or Shadow Tower gameplay wise due to being played from a 1st person perspective (surprising the difference it makes); which's why I came up with a new term for such games I even made into a Steam tag; "King's-heir". Games like Monomyth, Dread Delusion, & the upcoming games Dreamspring & Labryinth of the Demon King. So, as you may've guessed, I wanna see both the King's Field & Shadow Tower games made playable on PC for both longtime FromSoft fans, & simply curious newcomers, to enjoy, & discover where many iconic FromSoft elements came from, & where the legendary studio got their start; & if Nightdive Studios doesn't remaster/remake them, I wanna see them added to the GOG preservation program (if you see this reposted on the other King's Field/Shadow Tower games, the story's the same there as it is here).
