Sierra Planet - King's Quest 4 Game Goodies

This section contains mini screenshots, easter eggs, fun things to do, death list, game curiosities, cheat codes, UHS hints, demo, and MIDI music files for King's Quest 4. For the very curious-minded, there is an alternative game box cover that Sierra advertised back in 1987 and 1988 but never actually marketed. Note that the information on this page may contain spoilers, information that could spoil the game for you if you have not played or completed it yet. If you find errors or have any more goodies to share, please let us know! Have fun!!

KING'S QUEST 4 MINI SCREENSHOTS

Below are just a few screenshots of King's Quest 4 to glance at. These screenshots have been miniaturized from fullscreen and do not accurately reflect the true graphical quality of the actual game. In other words, the game looks better!! Use the navigational buttons to scroll through all twelve screenshots. The first six screenshots are from the extremely rare AGI version. The last six are from the more common SCI version with better graphics.

If you have Internet Explorer 4 or higher, the screenshot above will have a nice blending transition effect. The image description message can also be viewed in the status bar at the bottom (provided you have it turned on).

If you have problems scrolling from the Opera browser, go to the File menu, select Preferences, choose Connections, and set the browser to identify as Opera or Mozilla but not MSIE (Internet Explorer), since it does not support the transition effect that real MSIE browsers can.

KING'S QUEST 4 EASTER EGGS

There are several easter eggs in King's Quest 4 that you can check out!

There is a bottle inside the whale with a note inside that has several interesting messages on it from frustrated Sierra game players.

This game contains about thirty fairy tale characters. Can you identify them all?

Wear the crown in the swamp to see something funny, but just remember to save before doing it!

Near the end of the game in Lolotte's castle, get captured by one of the goons. Wedding bells I hear? Save before doing this!

When Lolotte dies, she cries, "I am melting!" Hmm. I wonder if she knew the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz?

At any point during the game, type in the word CRAP to get a funny response. -- Templeton (4-14-1999)

When you enter the storage room to retrieve the hen and Pandora's box, listen to the music. Why, this is the music of Astro Chicken from Space Quest 3! -- Templeton (1-9-2000)

After you kill Lolotte, go to the hallway outside the prison cell, then type BEAM ME. You get teleported to a room with a bunch of Sierra employees! This only works for the AGI version of the game -- Domen (5-16-1999)

Since most people are not lucky enough to ever have owned or even seen the AGI version of King's Quest 4, below is a picture and description of what this cool easter egg actually is. Just click on the button.

At the beginning of the game at the password screen, type CTRL + D and then PIRATE at the prompt. Either a message with the image of a pirate appears, or a message with a treasure chest of floppy diskettes. Pirate music, possibly from King's Quest 3, is heard in the background. This only works for the AGI version of the game. -- Sierra Archives (10-20-2001)

KING'S QUEST 4 THINGS TO DO JUST FOR FUN

Here are some interesting things that you can do in the game just for fun! Many of them contain funny responses.

Play with the rattle and with the toy horse. Try to ride the old rocking horse in the nursery, too! Hmm ... don't you feel a little childish?! -- Templeton (1-9-2000)
Try to eat the worm, the hen, and the dead fish for some funny responses!
When you see the ogre's wife walking in the house with a deer try to take the deer! -- Richard (2-12-2000)
Any time during the game type SMILE or LAUGH for a funny response! -- Richard (2-12-2000)
Any time during the game type UNDRESS for a funny response! -- Yanay (3-26-2000)
During the daytime, type in LOOK AT MOON and see the strange response the game gives! -- Haley (7-25-2000)
Go to the fisherman's hut at night and knock at the door. How rude of you! -- Templeton (10-3-2002)
Talk to the parrot on Gesesta's island. -- Templeton (10-3-2002)
When the goons approach Rosella outside Lolotte's castle, type KISS or HUG GOON. -- Thomas (11-8-2004)

KING'S QUEST 4 CHEAT CODES

There is a debug mode this game, and you can do some very interesting and strange stuff with it!! I only suggest the debug mode for players who have already finished the game and want to just look around. To start the debug mode, press both of the SHIFT keys on your keyboard at the same time. Then add the MINUS SIGN (-) button on the numeric keypad. It may take some finger stretching. A funky programmer's window should show up. To exit the debug mode, press SHIFT + D. Type the letter G and:

Type the number 13 and the current room number will show. All King's Quest 4 screens are assigned a different room number. Change this number, exit the debug mode, and you will be transported to a new game screen.
Type the number 15 and the current number of points will show. Change the number, exit the debug mode, save and restore your game, and your game's current point total will be changed.
Type the number 16 and the current number of maximum points will show. It should be 158. Change the number, exit the debug mode, save and restore your game, and your game's maximum points will be change. You can have something like 35 out of 9999 points!!
To get an inventory item that Rosella does not own yet using this debug mode, type the letter I instead of the letter G to get into the Inspect window. Type Inv to start the inventory window. Type C to start the collection. Press ENTER until you come to an item you want. Type E to start the edit mode. Type owner, and a number should appear. Erase it and type ego. -- Chris (5-23-1999)
