KQMoE Shim (kqmoefix)
The King's Quest: Mask of Eternity - Shim is a run-time patch that has been developed to workaround the infamous TalkComplete bug (random cutscene freeze), a lot of compatibility issues, and some annoyances.
All known demos, retail versions (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Brazilian), and the GOG.com release have been tested on Windows 95..10 and Wine 1.8.
