Game Game version Interpreter version Date Notes King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella AGI 1.0K 3.002.086 1988-11-22 No easter eggs PC version 1.000.106 and 1.000.111 are the only ones with the original detailed graphics. For 1.003.006 and later versions, Sierra simplified the background graphics to make the game fit on one 5.25 inch disk less, removing background detail and separate night pictures.
The KQ4FIX patch dated 1989-02-15 addresses error message "0x80/653 not found" at DOSBox cycle settings above 1500 when entering the screen with the waterfall. This patch only applies to version 1.003.006. This problem was corrected in the later version 1.006.003 and is not needed in versions 1.006.003 or 1.006.004.
PC version 1.006.004 is the latest PC version and has the main character walking faster diagonally. It also changes the arrangement for the Fisherman's theme (for the better) and replaces "Lolotte's death" music with a completely different one. This is the version used for Roberta Williams Anthology - King's Quest Collection Series - King's Quest Collector's Edition - 2006 King's Quest Collection - GOG King's Quest 4+5+6 Collection.
