« Last post by lance.ewing on Today at 10:35:48 AM »The versions of KQ1 that came out in 1984 are currently known only to be booter versions. AGI version 2.272 did not come out in 1984, so what you've added to your github page (https://github.com/Thpwg/AGI-SCI-index) would be incorrect then, i.e. "King's Quest 1 EGA (Game version 1.0U, Interpreter version 2.272) 1984" did not exist, by which I mean an AGI 2.272 version didn't exist in 1984.
Looking at the github PR discussion (and associated commit) that you linked to, I think there is some misunderstanding on the part of the person that answered your question. They may not have understood what you were asking. The commit includes this:
// King's Quest 1 (DOS) 1.0U [AGI 2.272]
GAME("kq1", "1.0U 1986",
which I assume did exist. This is for a 1986 release of the game though, not 1984. - Almost all AGI v2 games were DOS, not booter. The exception is the very first version of the Donald Duck's Playground game, which was a kind of hybrid.
In response to your question on the github PR, I suspect einsten95 thinks you are asking about the 1986 version, and he is in fact confirming that that version exists and is DOS. I don't think he was confirming a 1984 DOS version exists.
