Description
King's Quest IV is the first SCI game. An AGI version of King's Quest IV was co-developed for customers who could not meet the high hardware requirements 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.
There have been a number of releases with the SCI interpreter, with interpreter versions ranging from 0.000.247 to 0.000.502.
Versions
Note that the first version(s?) of the game do not recognize resources outside of the resource archive. This makes patching the game more difficult as new resource patches cannot simply be dropped into the game's folder. To be accessible to the game the patch needs to be packed and mapped in the game's resource archive to be accessible to the game.
