Several years ago I uploaded a playthrough of King's Quest with my IBM PCjr., but at the time I could only capture the PCjr's composite video output. These days my capturing abilities are significantly more advanced. So advanced in fact that there was no analog video in my processing chain, from the PCjr.'s digital RGBI output through the RGB2HDMI to the Datapath VisionRGB E1s, what you see is what the PCjr. output. But before you complain that the capture is too perfect, too emulator-like, the audio is rather noisy. I think the power supply I am using for the PCjr. is not ideal.

This is not, however, the same version of the game I previously uploaded. This booter came after the original PCjr. version, distributed by IBM. That version called the main character "Grahame", had a different developer credits screen, slightly different title screen text and some different sound effects. This booter appears to be the fifth version of the game Sierra released after two releases that only ran on the IBM PC and a release that only ran on the Tandy 1000. This version runs on both the IBM PCjr. and Tandy 1000 and represents the only way to see the "canonical" King's Quest in its booter incarnation on the PCjr. This is the last PC Booter version known for this game, later versions would be DOS-based.

When you make a save disk for this game using the in-game command Copy Disk, the game copies over most of itself as a "Play Disk" and can run off the Play Disk once the game's copy protection is satisfied at boot.

I edited out several mistakes but left one death in. My final score was 156 points and I did everything to earn maximum points, so I do not know if these booter versions of the game will show the canonical 158 points.
