i seriously love that sierra did their own in-house demake of King's Quest IV so it would run on 256K ram machines like the IBM PCjr
the AGI (256K) version uses a different parser, and half the resolution of the SCI (512K) version that most people played. side by side comparisons below. left: AGI, right: SCI
it was sold in a completely different box, and ordered directly from sierra by calling a toll-free number or mailing in an exchange form.
Since it sounds like I'm probably one of the only people who has fond memories of a #PCjr, I should probably get one someday so I can play Lode Runner, Below the Root, and King's Quest 1 on it

In the meantime, here's another glamour shot of the #pcjr, this time featuring the splash screen that I have AUTOEXEC.BAT print on boot:
Doing actual work using the #pcjr can be tricky. I found that I need to have different amounts of video memory set in order to run different applications; PC Paint 3.1 in PCjr graphics mode requires 32K, but if I dont start IBM Storyboard Plus with only 16K the Story Editor program will hang indefinitely. And also that Storyboard Plus appears to have it's own mouse drivers and will screw up memory so that the Cute Mouse drivers won't work right anymore. #vcfeast2024
