Won last night: King's Quest IV AGI

Ever seen these little babies? Got them in the mailbox today, along with some of the earliest Sierra newsletters and some InterActions.

I remember those when they were brand new.

These ARE brand new. We have a slow postman here in the Balkans...

Ugh... the KQ4 AGI floppies aren't readable

. Typical... Could somebody help me out with this? ruudje_1976@yahoo.com

Thank you in advance.

What version? Also, they are DOS, aren't they? I have had Apple disks slipped into PC boxes, before.

Post by **Rudy** » Thu Aug 02, 2012 1:52 pm

Yep, MS-DOS. Version 2.0. Int. #3.002.086

The "beam me" version. 3.5" or 5.25"?

Post by **Rudy** » Thu Aug 02, 2012 2:23 pm

Both: three 3.5" disks (which are not readable)and six 5.25" floppies (which I don't have the drive for).

I really wish that there was an easy, affordable solution for a USB 5.25" floppy drive. I have an old dino for the sole purpose of getting files from 5.25" disks. Check you PM.

I am not interested in the post Yosemite games like you and most of what the rest of what I don't have is currently too rich for my blood. I am going through a pretty lean time. I would love to get my hands on some of the DOS ports of the Hi-Res Adventures. Not that there would be much demand for them, but I would like to do some installers for them for completeness' sake.

Same boat, really.
Having lost the house to the bank put a dent in finances.
And I have the majority of all the classic Sierra games I want (I only want the AGI/SCI era type stuff). I am missing a few from Dynamix and such, but I am okay with that.
Most of my collecting attention (and money) has been filtered to other things.

The only other thing that I might make a try for is other versions to add support to the installers.
