Version differences

Original releases

Versions 1.000.106 and 1.000.111 of the SCI0 release feature high-detail graphics, while versions 1.003.006 and later lack them for filesize reasons.[3]
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]

Notes

  1. 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.
