Short: Installable King's Quest 3 (1986 version) Uploader: timok@cc.tut.fi (Timo Kaikumaa) Author: timok@cc.tut.fi (Timo Kaikumaa) Type: game/patch Version: 1.0 Replaces: game/patch/KQ3-fix* Requires: OS1+ In their very first Amiga adventures made around the year 1986 Sierra used a somewhat nasty copy protection method. The game disk looked like a standard AmigaDos disk, but on it there was one file (whose name simply consisted of 8 spaces) with a deliberate read/write error. One couldn't execute the game unless the broken file was available. Although this was no problem when using the original disk, the unlucky user of more recent days will not be able to install the game on hard disk at all. But the fix is here. This patch will modify the game executable and remove all references to the protected file thus allowing the user to copy all game files wherever he or she wants to. Note that Sierra recompiled their old titles in 1989. These versions should install nicely without any patches. Note also that this fix is only for the original King's Quest 3. If you have problems with other old (original) Sierra games, you can always write to me at .
