I only have faint memories of this, so it may not be true. I believe in the version of King’s Quest 2 that I played originally in the mid eighties, something I typed prompted the game to tell me King Graham’s last name which was “Cracker”. Can anyone verify this? Was this only in certain versions of the game? (later removed) Was this Roberta’s joke or some overzealous scripter?

I also noticed a few years ago while digging through some of the old Sierra games that some of the synonyms that the interpreter would accept were extremely lewd. (such as the witch in KQ2 being synonymous with a whole lot of terms I would imagine most woman would not find pleasant). Now obviously the ESRB wasn’t around and it wasn’t like kids playing the game had access to these synonyms, but I’d be very curious who was the resident sicko?

Hi –
I bought KQ2 for the Atari ST back in 1987 – indeed, in that version, if you type “What is Graham’s last name?”, the response is “Cracker.” I also have a faint memory of the “synonyms” thing you described… I think I actually tried it once, and thought “Hmm….”
OK, let’s try it on my version from “The King’s Quest Collection” (a 3-CD set from the mid-to-late ’90s)… The “Graham Cracker” question doesn’t work, but the synonyms do. If you don’t have a game saved in the quartz tower, then press ALT-D, type “TP,” then enter 90. Then you can type “look [synonym]” (racy slang for “woman”). I tried a few off the top of my head, and they all worked… some programmer was having too much fun.
