After years of them sitting in storage, I finally bought some shelves and put all my sierra game boxes on display in my office. And looking at the various doubles I have (especially around King's Quest games) it got me thinking.
I know Sierra released at least 4 different big box versions of King's Quest 6: Red, Blue, Black, and White. Did the different colors mean anything? I know it's not platform, because I have 1 PC and 1 Mac copy, both blue. But did different retailers get different box colors, did Sierra make any fanfare about the different colors, was it a way to encourage multiple sales?
As far as I remember they weren't like later reissues or something... they just existed all at the same time.
So, what's the deal with them?
