It was thus said that the Great Ernest once stated:
>I want an Apricot or a PCjr, myself. I have the original King's Quest, just
>need to play it on a PCjr so I can hear how the music sounded.
Not bad if I recall. The PCjr had three music channels (and a fourth for
white noise). I don't remember how the music went though.
Don't you love those prorietary programs. You do
know that there are
versions for other, easier to find systems.
But King's Quest was originally written for the PCjr. I also remember
there being a key you could hit (Alt-something?) that would slow down the
screen drawing so you could watch it being drawn. Quite cool.
