King's Quest 1 PCjr booter points
Posted: Sat Mar 28, 2020 11:51 am
Recently played through the PCjr booter, and it seems it has a few differences in how points are given from other versions. (I'm not sure if the PC or Tandy booters use the PCjr points system or not)
It's mostly the same as the SHP list but with a few differences:
Climbing up out of the well after beating the dragon does not give any points. You do, however, get two points from refilling the bucket. (swimming in the well automatically fills the bucket in the booter, unsure about later versions)
Reading the magic bowl gives you one point.
This gives you a maximum of 158 points in the PCjr booter unless you take advantage of bugs. And speaking of bugs...
When you first climb the rope into the well, you get one point when you first go to the "inside the well" screen. If you save and restore here, you will get another point. This can be repeated.
