Galactic Enquirer was one of those: a 22-page introduction to Space Quest V's story, universe, and characters that quickly set the tone of the adventure ahead. When it was good, it was a nice surprise-like the first time you learned how to spell the word “tchotchke.” (You're welcome.) Novellas, cloth maps, replica Zorkmids: if the tchotchke sucked, it didn't matter. The random crap you get in overpriced suckers editions today can never be as fun as something thrown in for no better reason than because the creators could, or wanted to make a big cardboard box rattle seductively when you picked it up in the shop. have all been 'corrected' within the main set of glyphs their original designs can be found in the More Latin section.I really miss the tchotchkes that used to come with games.

This is a clone of King's Quest V - Initials To match the two-tone sprites used in the game, this version allows the user to overlay a partial letter or letters in a different color for use in games or picture/image artwork. While the letters were centered within the 16x15 sprites, the I and J were changed to proportional spacing for use with other fonts. These letters were not generated using an in-game font they were actually pre-rendered static images within the game's art assets, used in conjunction with the Sierra text font Font.004. Initials used with the non-speech text in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line.
