Yeah... Also I liked that Sierra Hoyle card game collection they made years ago, with Graham as one of the characters in the line up. Funny little game, and my introduction to a number of card games when I was younger.
By "true resolution drop" I don't mean scaled so much as windowed in such a way that the screen is still full resolution but the window "fools" the game into thinking it's full screen. Further, from what you describe, the bar on bottom and so on, I'm pretty sure you weren't playing the games full screen (as full screen as they got anyway) because there shouldn't be a status bar or any other bars around the game at all. Oh well.
Some people prefer Sierra's updated original games, some don't. I myself like having both games at my disposal because I find the little quirks in the different versions fun in their own right.
Penny Arcade at least acknowledges the existance of the King's Quest series. They might do something... Eh maybe not. But, strike while the iron's hot. I'll make an email of it. Never actually tried contacting those guys because I didn't care to. But, THIS INJUSTICE CAN'T BE BORN! :D Eh forget it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
