How I made to play King Quest I (and other AGS games) under Linux. I didn't invent anything I just read several forums and put all toghether.
You will need Wine to uncompress the files, but not to play the game.
1 Download the Windows installers from http://www.agdinteractive.com/KQ1.php
2 Uncompress the files to a folder you will easilly find later. This is done by double clicking and choosing an installation folder (Wine needed for this). Remember that your hard disk is Z: for Wine.
3 Download AGS for Linux and midipatch (allegro not needed) from here http://drevil.warpcore.org/ags/
4 Put everything you got from the installers and uncompresions in the same folder.
5 Rename the KQIVGA.EXE file to ac2game.dat (important: lowercase!)
6 Rename music.vox to MUSIC.VOX and speech.vox to SPEECH.VOX (important: UPPERCASE!)
7 If you want, delete any remaining .exe file
8 Run ags-setup
9 Run ags. The first time better from a console to see the output if there's any problem.
10 Say "Eureka" or go back to 8.
If AGD Interactive wants to I can send the result to be distributed and save so a short but error prone process to Linux gamers.

Now a question:
I choosed the Spanish translation, the font used is not the same as in English.
Once, after dying in game, the program got closed :x and in the console I saw a suggestion about importing a TTF font, because of non ascii characters (I think German umlauts where also mentioned)
Sorry, i didn't copy the exact message, and haven't been able to reproduce the problem.
Any idea? Can I import a TTF font?
Thank you.
