I’ve heard KQ4 AGI version is rare. Is there anywhere it can be obtained? Any place where a digital copy can be purchased? The versions that are on Steam and GOG are all SCI (SCI is the better version but I would like to play the AGI version just for the experience). Anyone willing to part with their AGI copy?

I know for a fact that the Apple IIGS version of KQ4 was the rare AGI version.
The reason I know this is because it’s the last Sierra game I was able to play on my home computer, the Apple IIGS, before Sierra killed development for the platform.
As a kid I often wondered why my version of King’s Quest IV didn’t look the same as the photos in the Sierra Catalog.
Therefore, if you want to play the AGI version of KQ4, seek out an Apple IIGS emulator and download the abandon-ware IIGS KQ4 disk images.
You’ll also benefit from the best sound quality possible at the time, since IIGS audio killed just about any other home computer stock audio using its special Ensoniq chip.
Check out my post about dropping IIGS support in the “Ask Ken Williams” section, as I posted up a question a handful of days ago on a similar topic.
