KQ6 comparisons

Version information
The menus and icons in the disk version of the game are different than in the CD version (King's Quest VI CD). The Windows version of the CD release has enhanced high-resolution character portraits, interface icons, and inventory graphics, compared with the DOS version.

The introduction cutscene is different in each version of the game: specifically, the DOS 16-color, DOS VGA disk, DOS VGA CD, Windows CD, and Mac version intros are all different. Sometimes the script is different. Other times the scenes are different. The DOS VGA disk version has a longer flyby sequence in the castle showing off more of the throne room, and a different set of voice actors. The CD-ROM version has an enhanced version of the boat sequence. The 16-color version includes more narration describing the events, less artwork.

The Windows version is also enhanced with higher resolution character portraits, menu, and inventory artwork. For information on how to get KQ6 Enhanced to work see here, here, or use SCUMMVM. When switching to text mode the game utilizes the lower res character boxes, but stretched vertically somewhat.

The DOS disk version does not have the character voices (except in the introduction video), which were introduced in the CD version, and instead uses text boxes (which, like the icon bar and inventory graphics, are colored differently than those of the CD release). The introduction video has a different set of actors than in the Cd-Rom version.
