I added that King's Quest V introduced VGA into the series, but now that I think of it, I might be mistaken. So, can anyone confirm that VGA was used in all versions of the game? I'm not knowledgeable enough to be sure and I haven't played any version aside from the PC CD-rom one.
- I'm pretty sure that the original release of KQ5 gave you the choice of either EGA or VGA, actually. MasterGrazzt 05:00, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- There were seperate EGA and VGA versions, a label on the bottom left corner of the front of the box denoted this. I also remember my Dad having a hard time trying to find the VGA version...we wanted to show off our new 386 sx/25!

[edit] Voice Acting "Controversy"
KQ5 is and was notorious for it's terrible voice acting. The actors used were actually Sierra employees, due to the feature being so new in gaming. Who here thinks this should be mentioned? MasterGrazzt 05:03, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
It might be worth a mention. I mean, it's mentioned on the Resident Evil page (another game known for its laughable voice overs). It might not need its own section though.
[edit] Verifying best selling game
I have the first edition of the King's Quest Collection from 1995 (maybe 2nd). The accompanying form reads "Sales of King's Quest V during its first year shattered all known records for computer games." There's your verification. Slfarrell (talk) 00:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:KQV.jpg
Image:KQV.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
