Description

Hi, this is the rare german EGA version of KQ5 which I found and bought.

The game in 'SCI-KQ5-EGA-DE\' seems to be an unknown game variant.

Please report the following data to the ScummVM team at https://bugs.scummvm.org/ along with the name of the game you tried to add and its version, language, etc.:

After adding the fallback, the game title is detected correctly as "King's Quest V (EGA/DOS/German)".

Hello! Great find, thanks for reporting. Would you mind checking the version numbers in a few places so that we can include them in the description?

  1. The "VERSION" text file (I expect this will be 1.000)
  2. The About box. Go to the control panel, click the Sierra logo, and click About KQ5
  3. *If* you know how to check the interpreter version (SIERRA.EXE) that would be nice, but that's pretty advanced because you have to decompress the DOS executable first then scan it, so don't worry about it. I mostly want the first two =)
  4. Any version numbers on floppy labels?

Hi,

here are the versions:

  1. 1.000
  2. 0.000.121
  3. 1.000.575

Seems I still have it in me. Just extracted the EXE with Commander Genius' UNLZEXE tool, then checked the version with SCI studio.

  1. VER 1.0 INT 7.8.91, 9 720k disks
