I love games were I can go fast and destroy things, that's me. However my girlfriend loves point and click adventures.
She tolerates my retrorigs invading the apartment as long as there is some leisure suit larry, sam and max, monkey island, etc.
So help me out in remembering this game because it's one of her favourites.
She can only recall the intro starts with a story book, and the story goes the King has been poisoned and you and the princess have to make a potion to save him. Probably this is an easy one for someone who likes this types of game, probably not, but please help me out.

edit: it was at least vga. it was played in 1998 or 1999 but it could be older.

No, not that one. The game in question doesn't have fairies. I'll go through all late kings quest to see if the intro has a storybook. thanks

edit:well it's not kings quest.
note: searching quest for glory was a bad idea too. Anyone has more ideas?

I..have no idea. I'm intrigued. "You and the princess" do you mean you the player and a princess or there are two characters throughout the whole game?

You play a character, which is not a prince, and the princess is aiding you, she even fights some monsters, but you do not control the princess.

Torin's Passage? Can't remember if there was any poisoning involved, though.
