- The AGI version only supports single and three-channel PC Speaker audio, while the SCI0 version also supports AdLib and MT-32 audio.[4]
- The AGI version has a resolution of 160x200, while the SCI0 version has a resolution of 200x320.[4]
- The SCI0 version has color dithering support for increased image fidelity.[4]
- The Amiga version of the game features exclusive environmental and incidental sound effects.[3]
Digital releases
- The King's Quest Collection, the collection on Steam, is not properly configured for modern systems[5]
