The Leprechauns Throne. Another upscaled AGI version embedded in the KQ1 remake demo and its eventual screen in the 1990 remake. It's kinda weird to see these AGI backgrounds scaled up one-to-one. Really highlights the limitations of the era; and how fast things were moving. It's only six short years between the PCjr release of KQ and the SCI remake.

…in another six years we'd see the release of Quake.
