Version differences

Original releases

The original 1984 release is exclusive to the PCjr and its 16-color mode. A later release that same year exclusively supported Tandy machines and their 16-color mode[3]
The 1987 release added support for EGA and Hercules modes while keeping support for PCjr and Tandy 16-color modes
An official remake was released in 1990, which was developed using the SCI engine. Is uses the basic design and puzzles from the original game while featuring remade graphics, new soundtrack, more detailed environments, and expanded text and dialogue. Tierra's/AGD's unofficial remake is based on 1990 version

Modern re-releases and ports

Steam only has the EGA remake available. GOG.com only has the original version available[citation needed]
The King's Quest Collection, the collection on Steam, is not properly configured for modern systems[4]

Essential improvements

Four-channel audio support

The AGI release of the game has support for four-channel audio, which by default requires the additional audio hardware of PCjr or Tandy computer. Other systems are limited to one-channel audio played through the PC speaker
