King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder! is the fifth chapter of the famous fantasy adventure series created by Roberta Williams. It was released in 1990 for MS-DOS, Amiga, Macintosh, and other platforms.
The game marked an important milestone for Sierra since it was the first to introduce full 256-color VGA graphics with a hand-painted background, the first to use icon-based controls instead of the text parser, and the first Sierra game to be released on CD-ROM with a full voiceover.
The game was a great success, with more than 500k copies sold.
