Tracked down a larger version of this early Colonel's Bequest screenshot where Laura has a 1960s Jackie Kennedy bouffant for some reason.
From Video Games & Computer Entertainment magazine, August 1990. #laurabow #colonelsbequest #thecolonelsbequest #sierra #adventuregames
@JuliaMinamata @32bitkid I may have mentioned this before, but in the Colonel's Bequest demo, not only does Laura's sprite (like her closeup) have a different hairstyle, her suitcase has green cloth sides that were later removed.
(A suitcase that suggests maybe Laura isn't a proper Southern belle but a filthy Yankee carpetbagger...) #sierra #laurabow #colonelsbequest #thecolonelsbequest #adventuregames
Something I noticed from @JuliaMinamata's latest Level 0 Designers video: the side doors of the kitchen & study of Colonel Dijon's mansion in #TheColonelsBequest are French windows in the exterior close-up shots, but tall wooden doors in the exterior screens where they're seen from a distance.
There's also a mysterious green thing on a short pole by the kitchen door in the wide shot. I wonder if that's a garden hose, or something else? #sierra #laurabow #colonelsbequest #adventuregames
In this interview with Roberta Williams, we also learn that the latest Sierra On Line game (King's Quest V) cost one and a half million dollars.
And towards the end of the interview Roberta Williams says that she's not very satisfied with The Colonel's Bequest.

Interview with Roberta Williams in the French magazine Tilt (March 1991)
She talks about Colossal Cave, her desire to create adventure games, her doubts…
and announces that she's going to make an Indiana Jones style game! 🤠
