Availability
- The King's Quest Collection, the collection on Steam, is not properly configured for modern systems[3]
- A web browser version is also available.
Essential improvements
Three-channel audio support
- The game has support for three-channel audio, which requires the audio hardware built into the PCjr or Tandy 1000 computer. Other systems are limited to one-channel audio played through the PC speaker.
Use a third-party AGI interpreter[citation needed]
|
Notes
- Modern AGI interpreters include ScummVM and NAGI will automatically use the Tandy sounds regardless of video render mode. As such it is possible to have Tandy sounds with EGA video, which was not possible with the original game.
|
Use DOSBox[citation needed]
|
Notes
- If DOSBox is configured to emulate a PCjr or Tandy computer, the game detects and uses the emulated PCjr/Tandy sound hardware for three-channel audio. This will simultaneously also force the game to run in 16 colour PCjr/Tandy graphics mode.
|
Patch the game for Adlib[4]}
|
Notes
This is an experimental patch for Sierra's old AGI games, to makes them play three voice music and sound effects via a Adlib or Soundblaster compatible card.
