Description
Roberta Williams's King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella was the forth installment of Roberta Williams's King's Quest Series. It is the first SCI game. To showcase their new SCI engine, Sierra chose its flagship series, King's Quest, to be first to have its next installment to be developed in SCI. An AGI version was co-developed for customers that did not meet the minimum hardware requirements of the new SCI engine. Citation Required[2]
Versions
There have been a number of releases of the SCI version of the game, with interpreter versions ranging from 0.000.247 to 0.000.502. In addition to revisions of the PC version, there were ports for other platforms. These ports often had different features based on what the abilities of the target platform. The Amiga port had digital sound effects for environmental sounds, which was missing from the PC version.
Note that the first version(s?) of the game did not recognize resources outside of the resource archive.

About
King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella featured SCI's higher resolution graphics as well as AdLib and Roland MT-32 music with a "full soundtrack" by William Goldstein. An AGI version of King's Quest IV was co-developed for customers who could not meet the high hardware requirements of Sierra's new SCI engine. A customer who purchased the game that could not run the game was able to send in his SCI disks in for replacement with the AGI version.
As hardware began to advance beyond what AGI could utilize, Sierra began development on its next engine, SCript Interpreter or later Sierra Creative Interpreter (SCI). A year before the last official AGI game, Manhunter 2: San Francisco in 1989, Sierra released the first SCI (SCI0) game, King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella in 1988. In keeping with Moore's Law, SCI could take advantage of the constantly increasing capabilities of the new hardware. As with AGI in its day, SCI was a big leap forward in technology. SCI's 200px x 320px vector graphics allowed for noticeably better graphics over AGI's 160px x 200px. While still just 16 colors, but SCI0 introduced dithering, which mixed pixels of different colors into the same fill areas that gave the effect of more than 16 colors.

Screenshots
There are two main releases of the SCI version of this game, 1.000.111 and 1.006.004. What is notable is the second release has more refined PICs or background images. Also, the first release used completely new PIC resources for all of the night scenes. The second release used PICs that were night sky overlays that were displayed over the daytime PIC.
