- 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]

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/10100/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (10100) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
