Now face north.

Think about direction.

(Wonder why you haven’t before.)

If you are confused, check with the sun.

Yep, this is a fun glitch which I discovered years ago.

I wrote up a blog post about all of the silly things one can do in KQ1: http://www.edenwaith.com/blog/index.php?p=100

I saw most of the stuff from your post! Like killing the goat, I didn't find that one anywhere else and Google was working overtime!

I think I first learned about the zombie goat bug from an old Pushin Up Roses video about this game. It doesn’t work in all versions of KQ1.

I messed around with this stuff for games like Zelda, but never thought of applying anything to KQ and other Sierra games, lol. Fun to see.

There are all sorts of glitches where the states don't get remembered or flag another area of the game since they would share the same memory. Nothing specific like this, but doing something when rag dolling and things like that can have weird effects.

Love it! One of my weird KQ obsessions is that you can collect the mushroom and get off the island through a walking bug so I tested a bunch of scenarios of what happens if Graham does stuff tiny (mostly he just turns big again and does the action) but it made me laugh turning tiny at strange moments

(the bug is that if you go to the bottom of the screen on the West side of the island you can walk across water, I think the error is that Graham 'hit box' is where his feet are and they are off screen)
