It was later released as a 'talkie' CD-ROM, meaning the characters have voices, done by members of the Sierra staff. King's Quest V sold 500,000 copies and won several awards. The title is a spoof on the proverb, 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder.' It was also the last King's Quest to feature EGA graphics at 320x200: a separate EGA release contained 16-color 320x200 versions of the graphics, whereas the VGA release featured 320x200 256-color VGA graphics (and, unlike later SCI games, did not support rendering these into 16 colours at 640x200 resolution on EGA cards). It was also the first King's Quest installment to replace the typing user interface with a point-and-click user interface.

Released in November 1990, it featured a significant improvement in graphics (achieved through the introduction of VGA into the series). King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder! is a 1990 adventure game released by Sierra.

This game can be played also in a version for DOS.
