King's Quest Early SCI Cheat

Here is how to access the debug mode in King's Quest IV, or any other early SCI game, press LSHIFT+RSHIFT+the numeric keypad minus key. (make sure Num Lock is off) A debug window will open in the top right-hand corner. To exit the debug mode, press Shift-D.

To Teleport:
While you're still in debug mode, press G. This will open up another window at the bottom of the screen. The variable that controls what room your in is 13, so type in 13 and press enter. You will now see a number assigned to the room you are in. Delete that number, and enter a different number.

To get an object:
press I from the main window. In the next window that appears, type in Inv. This is a collection, so hit C for collection. Keep hitting ENTER until you see the object you want. Now, you'll want to change where the object is located. Hit E for edit, and type location. In the resulting window is the number of the room that the object is located in. Delete that, and type in ego.

All global variable values can be changed. Changes will take effect after exiting DEBUG.
