In 2006. Infamous Adventures released a free unofficial fan remake of King's Quest III using the Adventure Game Studio (AGS) adventure game creation program. This remake is done in the style of Sierra's later SCI remakes, giving the game a mouse-controlled interface, removing the arrow key-sensitive deaths, updating the graphics (the game aims to emulate the 256-color VGA graphics of the official Sierra remakes of the 1990s, although the game features a higher color palette), as well as new music, voices, and sound effects.
It was made without the approval of Vivendi Universal (the license holders of the Sierra franchises at the time), but it has the (unofficial) approval of Josh Mandel, the original voice actor for King Graham, who reprises his role for this fan remake.
In 2011, another free fan remake was created by AGD Interactive, also made with Adventure Game Studio. This remake was also done in the style of Sierra's later SCI remakes, and also had all of the enhancements to the interface, graphics, music, and voice acting that the Infamous Adventures remake had. It follows the revised unofficial timeline that began in their King's Quest II remake, Romancing the Stones. It also has additional dialog and puzzles that were not in the original game.
AGD Interactive was granted a fan license to create their fan games from the license holders of the Sierra franchises, Activision. Josh Mandel also reprised his role of King Graham for this fan remake, and Lori Cole, the co-creator of the Quest for Glory series, provided the voice of Smaude.
