Background[]

Collection release[]

The King's Quest Collections come with a French/English localization of the game, but has some interesting differences. This version is somewhat closer to the Amiga version in that it has digital sound such as snake rattle, tear drop sounds, ox moos, door opening/closing, the river has water rushing sounds (though water sounds more like a adlib sound effect than a digital sound effect). The icon bar has been updated to remove the extra walking cursor (and stop button),, and has the brown background, various menu changes, that would later be used in the CD-Rom version. This version has language support for several languages (including English accessible from a extra option in the "Sierra" button in the settings menu), but the introduction is in French (it is possible to modify this however with third-party patches). Other differences is this version contains the talk portraits and larger animal closeups from the floppy version.[1][2]

There is however a bug in the collections version that makes it impossible to beat the game it can be patched using this.[3]
