I have copies of the original disk for King’s Quest III from my relative. I don’t know if he lost the originals or something else. He did give me the originals on King’s Quest V. Anyways, the kq3.com file request the original disk one. I am able to bring the .com file into Visual Studio 6.0 and view the hexidecimal code and where it calls the cgc.com file and the message where it request the original disk. I also have the opcodes for an 8080 computer but it doesn’t seem to match the newer machine code. Any help here or should I just chunk the disk?

i probably know less about it than you do. cpc.com is the copyright protection file, file attrib hidden on the first disk of early sierra games. it was required to insert the first disk to play. just making copies of the first disk doesn’t work. there is a nice cracker out there (i don’t have the link because i’m at work), that allows you to “fix” the game but only if you have the original cpc.com first disk. however, you don’t have to have the original cpc.com first disk for that particular game – it can be any sierra cpc’d game. it’s a nice program i use myself to make backups of sierra disks. anyway, if no one else helps you before i get home, if you tell me what version of kq3 you have i’ll email you a fixed copy of the first disk.

I don’t know much, but I am trying to learn everything I can about computers. I found the original disk for King’s Quest III. Unfortunately, they are on 5 1/2 disk. That must be why the copies were made on 3 1/4 disk. I could not find a Version file. The original disk had in the upper right corner K3L-100 thru K3L-102 (3 disk).
