Here are some more that I can remember.
---
Conquest of Camelot:
- In the treasury room, type "ham and jam and spam a lot" to see some soldiers dancing to the tune of the "Knights of the Round Table" song from Monty Python's the Quest for the Holy Grail. It's then followed by a message saying, "In memory of Graham Chapman." (Graham Chapman was the actor who played King Arthur in that movie. Hmm... could this possibly have inspired the name of King Graham, I wonder?)
Quest for Glory 1:
- At the lake, just south of the hermit's cave, you'll occasionally see a submarine periscope getting closer and closer to the land until it crashes. (Though that's physically impossible, since the submarine would've crashed long before the periscope could get that close.) If you look at the periscope, the game will say that a submarine couldn't be in a fantasy setting and suggests you try Codename: Iceman, since it has a submarine.
- The wizard Erasmus' house is full of props from various Sierra games:
- In the brigands' fortress, you'll encounter three certain brigands - the three stooges. You'll even get a message saying, "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" when attempting to block their pursuit by pushing a candelabra in front of them. If you jump on the table too soon, the death screen will say, "Die drei Knöchelköpfe (the three knuckleheads) grab you off the table." The death screen messages will also sometimes say, "Nyuk nyuk nyuk! Woo woo woo! Ruff ruff ruff!"; which are noises that Curly is known for making.
Quest for Glory 2:
- Keapon Laffin's shop has the following items on the shelves:
- Shortly afterwards, you may see an F-18 flying by.
- You may also come across the dead body of King Arthur from Conquest of Camelot; which will vanish as you approach. (If you right click on him before that, the game will say that he looks familiar and you might have seen him in a camel lot.)
- If you throw a dagger or rock at Julanar, or cast a flame dart or force bolt at her, it will ricochet off and shatter your monitor screen; which results in death. (How's that for breaking the fourth wall?
)
- In addition to Groucho and Chico Marx, you can also find Harpo if you have silly clowns turned on. On day 3, go west from the fountain plaza and you'll see him walk by, honking a horn.
- Upon arriving at WIT-...
Wizards: "Wizard's Institute of Technocracy!"
*sigh* Upon arriving at the Wizard's Institute of Technocracy... observe the portrait on the right, of the woman in the white dress. That's Erana. Right click on it and the game will say that she reminds you of Genesta, (from King's Quest 4) a fairy you once knew.
- Also, right click on Merlin's portrait. The game will say that he looks nothing like the way Peter Ledger drew him in Conquest of Camelot.
Quest for Glory 3:
- When talking to the weapon merchant and asking about bows, he'll bring up the "Laura Bow."
- The junk merchants who sell the hero a tinderbox are from the show, Sanford and Son.
- At the inn, a certain patron will have a visible amount of food on his plate - including a can of Coke. Clicking the eye icon on him will reveal him to be Oliver from the programming department.
- There will also sometimes be a clown at the inn; whom the game will claim to be one of the silly clowns from the previous game.
- In the savannah, you may encounter Laurel and Hardy.
Police Quest 1:
- When reading the newspaper in the briefing room, you'll notice a story about the kingdom of Daventry being under siege by a dragon.
- When pulling over a suspect, you may sometimes stop in front of the Disco from Leisure Suit Larry 1.
- When Sergeant Dooley finds a chicken tied to his desk, the music from the Astro Chicken game in Space Quest 3 plays.
Police Quest 2:
- If you fire your gun anywhere you're not supposed to, the game will cut to a newspaper headline showing Sonny being committed to an asylum after going on a shooting spree. In addition to that, there is also a headline about King Graham being near death; which even includes a picture of Rosella, though the words underneath are unintelligible.
- Upstairs at the airport, you'll find three men sitting on a bench. One of them is Larry Laffer.
Space Quest 1:
- In the escape pod, is a button labeled "Don't Touch". If you push that button, the pod will crash into the moat in front of Castle Daventry.
- At the bar in Ulence Flats, one of three bands will be performing there. It'll be either the Blues Brothers, ZZ Top, or just some group of aliens.
- When talking to the sariens on their ship, Roger may ask about King's Quest 3. In addition, he may be asked if he owns King's Quest 2. Responding with a "yes" will award points.
Space Quest 2:
- When Roger passes out, after getting caught in a snare trap, he has a dream that he's Larry Laffer.
- Reading the wall in the bathroom on Vohaul's asteroid will sometimes reveal the message, "King Graham cross dresses!" Or, "Ken was here! (So was Al, but we had to repaint afterward.)"
Space Quest 3:
- In one section of the junk freighter, you'll find a TIE Fighter from Star Wars, an Acme rocket from Warner Bros. cartoons, and the Jupiter 2 from Lost in Space.
- Arnoid the Annihilator is a parody of Arnold Schwartzenegger as the Terminator. If you take him out by knocking him into the grinder, Fester will observe his parts strewn about and comment, saying, "Never did like that Terminator series. Good riddance to bad circuits!"
- One of the postcards in World O' Wonders advertises a place called Robertaland.
- Look at the counter and you'll see that it's full of fingerprints. Look at the fingerprints and the game will say, "This is not Police Quest."
- Upon first arriving at Monolith Burger, you'll observe the Starship Enterprise leaving there.
- At the Scumsoft programming department, the two men cracking whips are Ken Williams and Rick Cavin; who was head of production at the time.
Space Quest 4:
- When a holographic message about what happened on Xenon is played, the man reveals that the Xenon supercomputer was infected with a virus that was on a disk inside a box, "on which the words 'Leisure Suit Larry' were imprinted. On its back was the picture of a not particularly wholesome-looking gentleman... but that's another story."
- When Roger is picked up by a bird of prey and dropped into its nest, another bird will fly by soon afterwards, carrying King Graham. If you're quick enough, you can click the eye icon on him and the narrator will say, "It looks as though another unfortunate adventurer is suffering a similar fate!"
- Upon first arriving at the video game store at the mall, you'll find a large crowd there. Talk to them and one of them will say, "The Two Geeks from Andromeda are in there, signing copies of their latest release!"
- When looking in the store's bargain bin later on, you'll find a copy of King's Quest XLIII, Sim-Sim (a parody of the Sim-games), and various references to other games as well.
- At the climax, when Roger accesses the supercomputer's data, there's a file labeled LSL4 - confirming the man's story about the virus being contained in a Leisure Suit Larry game. Leisure Suit Larry 4 was never made, because Al Lowe stated that he would never make one - so he went straight to 5!
- There is also another file labeled KQXLIII.
- A third file on the computer is labeled SQIV. Make sure you don't delete that file, or the game will exit!
Space Quest 1 VGA:
- Like in the original, the Blues Brothers appear on stage at the bar. ZZ Top, however, do not appear unless you delete two certain files. (They'll appear as two tiny guitar players and an alien drummer if you don't.) Madonna also takes the place of the alien band from the original.
- Also, like in the original, there's a button in the escape pod with a label that warns you not to press it. This time, doing so will cause you to crash in front of Castle Nottingham from Conquest of the Longbow.
- Shortly after Roger leaves the planet Kerona, a timepod from Space Quest 4 appears - presumably with Roger's future self aboard, since he does travel back to Space Quest 1 at one point in SQ4.

And that's all the ones I can remember. Again, if anybody knows of any others, please feel free to post them.

- The wizard Erasmus' house is full of props from various Sierra games:

- The peacock on the table is also from KQ4
- The airplane refers to Lytton PD from Police Quest
- The shield is from Conquest of Camelot
- The suit of armor is from Laura Bow: the Colonel's Bequest
- In the brigands' fortress, you'll encounter three certain brigands - the three stooges. You'll even get a message saying, "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" when attempting to block their pursuit by pushing a candelabra in front of them.

- Another puppet of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street
- Orat on a stick toys from Space Quest 3
- A helicopter, from the Helicopter Simulator game
- The Starship Enterprise, from Star Trek
- Shortly afterwards, you may see an F-18 flying by.
