An ambitious fan game, in development since 2000 and nearing completion has been shut down by Vivendi Universal Games (a.k.a Sierra Entertainment). King's Quest IX was to be an alternative ending to the popular King's Quest series. Some project stats: 40+ volunteer staff, 2000+ page script, 9 chapters, 450 characters, theme songs...

Trailers are available
Small Trailer (36 mb)

personally I'm appaled at Vivendi for shutting this down, many people grew up with the King's quest games and it was going to be distributed for free as well as it is not even an active franchise. If you are just as upset as I am let VUGames know about it and send them an e-mail here. [email protected]
 
Glad to hear it! Kings Quest V or something game me nightmares as a kid, no joke. I hated that series to this day :D .

seriously, though, that sucks for all of those that were looking forward to it. I hate it when studios shut down games for no apparent reason.
