King's Quest IV Easter Eggs

Post by Collector »

This only work with the AGI version of the game. To bypass the copy protection developers could type in a password in the debug mode. They added an amusing Easter Egg if you used a certain word instead of the password.
  1. Enter debug mode (Alt+D).
  2. Press enter twice to get to the command promt.
  3. Type pirate and press Enter.
Go to King's Quest IV Easter Eggs and click on the thumbnail to see the result.

I've heard of this egg before. Too bad it and the "beam me" egg weren't included in the SCI version.

Still a neat find. Whats the copy protection look like in the AGI version compared to the SCI? Is it pretty much the same?

Manual check, just like the SCI version. What is the fifth word in the second paragraph on page X, etc.
