ATMcashpoint<p>There's also an incomplete or glitched palette for the bottom section of this tree, which suggests how that area might have looked with the yellowish bark.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sierra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sierra</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kingsquest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kingsquest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adventuregames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventuregames</span></a></p>
ATMcashpoint<p>Regular &amp; alternate palettes for the treetop with a golden egg hidden in a bird's nest in Sierra's 16-color SCI remake of King's Quest I.</p><p>The alternate version makes the tree bark much more yellowish. Notice the nest changes color too!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sierra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sierra</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kingsquest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kingsquest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adventuregames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventuregames</span></a></p>

ATMcashpoint<p>More fun with pixel editing: what if Sierra had kept Dracula's dining room in King's Quest 2 puke green like on the box screenshots?</p><p>(And yes, I gave my fake screenshot the GUI from the original PC booter version.)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sierra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sierra</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kingsquest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kingsquest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adventuregames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventuregames</span></a></p>
ATMcashpoint<p>Had some fun recreating the unusual text box design seen in this screenshot of King's Quest IV on Amiga in the September 1991 issue of Aktueller Software Markt.</p><p>(Not included: the special Amiga window bar at the top of the screen.)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sierra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sierra</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kingsquest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kingsquest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adventuregames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventuregames</span></a></p>

ATMcashpoint<p>A third article in Vol. 6 #3 (Fall 1993) shows they'd settled on the title "Phantasmagoria" by that point, but they were still expecting it to come out in mid-1994.</p><p>The same article also says "don't expect King's Quest 7 until early 1995"!</p><p>In the event, KQ7 DID come out in late 1994 - but was so buggy that Sierra had to ship a patch disk soon afterwards, subsequently followed by a "version 2.0" with bug fixes.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sierra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sierra</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/phantasmagoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phantasmagoria</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kingsquest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kingsquest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adventuregames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventuregames</span></a></p>
