Hi Vincent, I've actually heard of 3 variations of the KQ PCjr package: One with 1983 dates, one with 1984, and one with pieces from both years. The general consensus seems to be that Sierra ran out of 1983 parts and had to have more made, and changed the year to 1984.
Unfortunately the best advice I can give is to keep checking eBay and collectors' sites. (See my links page, www.yois.biz/links, for some places to start.) If you find someone who has one you might be able to trade one of the more common 1984 versions plus a little cash for the 1983. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vincent Joguin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 10:40 AM Subject: [SWCollect] Newly subscribed, looking for KQ PCjr > Hi software collectors! > > I'm new to this group, but have followed some discussions on the > mailing-list archive. > To quickly present myself, I am the author of Tand-Em (a Tandy 1000 and > someday PCjr emulator), FAST (an Atari ST and maybe someday Amiga emulator) > and Disk2FDI (the best software to preserve your original disks). > > Right now, I have discovered by way of vintage-sierra.com (whose webmaster > I understand is part of this list as well) that there were actually 2 > different versions (at least for the packaging and the keyboard overlay) of > King's Quest released for the PCjr.
