As a kid I spent hours trying to figure out the puzzles, dying constantly, reloading saved games, and discovering the fun and quirky world in the game. King’s Quest VI is the first PC game I played (apart from Solitaire and Minesweeper) because my parents purchased it with our first family PC in the early 90s (see my article about Windows 3.1 where I talk about that). I previously wrote about running Windows 3.1 via DOSBox, so this article will pick up from that point. I recently had the urge to replay King’s Quest VI and wanted to use the enhanced version that works in Windows 3.1. However the steps outlined still apply in Windows 10 or other OSes. Some of these screenshots are from Windows 7. Quick Note: This is an old draft of an article that I am finally getting around to finishing several years later.
