I never noticed it before, but this author photo, from the back of the King’s Quest IV box, is absolutely the reference image for the portrait of Roberta Williams that appears in the game. Great sweater. P.S. We really gotta bring back game devs telling you to get better at the game when you die - ThreadSky

I always loved the little digs at the player in Sierra games. Always good for a chuckle!

I’m kind surprised it hasn’t come back already with all the meta-fiction in the indie space these days. I could totally see something like this in Inscryption.

I kinda feel that if it was a Sierra game, the dev commentary would be:

"Git Gud... Or Don't.... It's funny when you die..."

Look up the theatrical poster for "The Poseidon Adventure" at least half of the stars' faces in the painting are direct copies of photos of the cast that are AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POSTER

lol nothing more humbling than “get gud” directly from the developer 😭 I SO miss this era of pc games

It's a character from the game and not me, but here's a screenshot from my game where he gives you very helpful advice when you die.
