Debug Mode#
Originally one could dump the debug files from Police Quest SCI Remake or Laura Bow 2 and rename them to 298.hep, 298.scr and 298.tex and place them in your QFG1 directory, but its only debug functionality was a WhereTo dialog at boot.
Fortunately, a fan patch restored the full debug (most updated version by SCI fan forum). To use it one can export the files from here and place them in the game's folder.
Note a room list can be seen in this archive's game's notes.

Unused Graphics#
A picture of the thief in jail. This was used when the thief was caught in the original version, but there's a more generic picture in its place in the final version.
Otto crushing the player under his giant feet. While a similar graphic was seen in the EGA version when waking up Otto, this one takes it a bit farther by having the player's guts spill out.
A live-action capture of someone pretending to be a brigand.
The original ending picture from the EGA version is intact at View 101 and has been updated. However, the view was removed likely because it was shown behind the credits, which are now shown on a different backdrop.
