Sierra game easter eggs
#1

Post here, whatever easter eggs you've found in various Sierra games.  It can be King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, anything.  It can also be either references to other Sierra games, or just random funny stuff to look for.  I'll start with the King's Quest ones I can remember.

---

King's Quest 2:

 - There is a certain tree in the woods that has a sign on it.  You can't see the sign, but if you go up to the right tree and type "read sign", you'll see an advertisement for King's Quest 3 and Space Quest 1.

- An advertisement for Space Quest 1 can also be seen, at the top of the mountain, inside a hole in a rock.  "Look in hole" to see it.

- Outside of Hagatha's cave, the Batmobile will sometimes appear, complete with Batman's theme music.

King's Quest 3:

- By the stairs outside Gwydion's room is a tapestry.  "Look behind tapestry" and Gwidion will see notes to programmers about King's Quest 4; which he'll be uninterested in, since you're currently already playing King's Quest 3.

- At the snowy mountain area of Daventry, if you drink from the waterfall, you'll be told that it tastes like Sierra water.

King's Quest 4:

- Typing any profanity words will cause the narrator to suggest buying Leisure Suit Larry.

- Inside the whale is a bottle, containing a random message that references various Sierra games.

King's Quest 5:

- In the snowy mountains, where Cedric gets caught by a wolf, the mountain in the middle of the background resembles the Sierra logo.  Click the eye icon on it and the narrator will say that it looks familiar to Graham.

King's Quest 6:

- Clicking the eye icon on a shelf in the pawn shop will reveal various items that would have come in handy, in previous King's Quest games.

- Click the hand icon on a shelf in the book store and the narrator will say that Alexander isn't interested in the cookbooks, due to his aversion to cooking - brought on by a certain cookie recipe involving cat hair and fish oil.

- When walking the steps on the cliffs of logic, falling from a non-fatal height will make Alexander yell, "Hey!" at the player.  Do this three times, and he'll say, "Quit making me fall!"

- At the top of the mountain, an old woman will attempt to persuade Alexander to eat a berry from a nearby nightshade plant, telling him that it'll give him the ability to fly.  If he does so, the death screen message says, "And then there's some land I have for sale, in the swampland of Tamir."

King's Quest 1 AGD remake:

- Click the hand icon on the door to the cloud land, and Graham will knock on it.  This will sometimes cause it to open and Larry Laffer to come walking out. (If it doesn't happen, you'll need to leave the screen and come back before trying again.)

- Use the invisibility ring and attempt to talk to either of the castle guards, to hear an amusing conversation.

- Try it on the gnome as well, for an amusing response.

- On a certain screen, eat the carrot while the goat is following you, and the goat will angrily butt Graham into the water.

King's Quest 2 AGD remake:

- Just like in the original, the Batmobile will sometimes appear outside of Hagatha's cave.  (It crashes this time though.)

- Batman himself also appears at the wedding in the end.

- Try to talk to the grandfather clock in the library and the narrator will say, "It's not Cogsworth."

- Try to talk to a candelabra, and the narrator will say, "It's not Lumiere."

- Try to talk to the books in the library and the narrator will say, "These books can't speak to you and Teddy Ruxpin won't be invented for a few hundred years yet."

- In the pawn shop, you can find Brauggi's mallet from Quest for Glory 1, the cartridge retrieval droid from Space Quest 1 VGA, Simon the Sorcerer's hat, and a 7-UP can.

- In the pawn shop basement, when you pick up the flying carpet, there will be a tag that says, "Property of Al din."  The narrator says there may be a faded letter or two in the name.

- In the note that you get from the lamp, the name Ni'Bor Si'Ma'Will, is an anagram of Robin Williams; who voiced the genie in the first and third Aladdin movies.

- In the nightingale's cage, Graham can find a letter to Hagatha from Manannan; in which he talks about seeking his next slave soon and how Mordack has his eye on a royal couple expected to conceive a girl in the near future.

- In the rock, where you would find a Space Quest 1 preview in the original game, there is now a plug for the Quest for Glory 2 remake - also made by AGD.

- In the castle cemetery is a grave belonging to Olga and Boris from Quest for Glory 4.

- Another grave in the castle cemetery references one of the following at random:

Sierra On-Line,
Anna and the King of Siam,
Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Sound of Music,
Crocodile Dundee,
Lethal Weapon,
War of the Roses,
Star Wars,
Black Adder,
Elvis Presley,
or John Bell (the game's narrator)


- Another grave in the church cemetery references Quest for Glory.

- Showing the key from the black book to Anastasia will trigger a conversation with her; in which Graham briefly talks about finding the magic bowl and encountering the leprechauns in the previous game.

- Choosing the wrong realm to teleport to, when all three gems are placed, will send Graham to either the wrong King's Quest game or the wrong Sierra game series.

King's Quest 3 AGD remake:

- The minstrel that Alexander encounters is the same one whom Rosella comes across in King's Quest 4.

- When the mandrake root is picked, it's followed by the sound of a dying child scream - the same sound that the Quest for Glory hero hears when picking one in QfG1.

- Click the hand on Mananann's desk four times, to find a letter from Lolotte.

- Getting the tile gate puzzle wrong, on the island with the treasure, will cause Alexander to be teleported to Iblis' cave from Quest for Glory 2; where the hero will be startled to see Alexander fall from the waterfall.

That's all the King's Quest ones I've got.  I'm tired now, but later on, I'll post the ones I know from other Sierra games.  But of course, anyone else who can think of any is welcome to post as well.
