King's Quest troubles on Mac (Lame, I know)

I just downloaded King's Quest I and III and was super stoked about getting all nostalgic and geeked out over the newer graphics and sounds. I have a new iMac (purchased January, 2014) and I downloaded both games for the Mac (There was an option for Mac or PC). When I open the games the screen is black save for the cursor and it blinks very quickly on occasion. I hear the sound just fine, and I can see the full screen for maybe an 1/8 of a second every couple of seconds. Other times it's just bits of the screen that will flash. I tried downloading X11 as was suggested but they gave me XQuartz saying that it was better. Still having the same issues. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for taking the time to update these great games!
