Ok, I bought QFG4.  It was buggy.  I got the patch.  Now QFG4 is MORE buggy.
Examples, you ask?
 o Click on far right edge of screen in forest where you cannot go right, and
   your hero walks north, above the ground, up to heaven or something, and does
   not stop.
 o Count your money and find yourself staring at "C:\SIERRA\SHADOWS>_"
. and everyone's favorite:
 o Restore... and restore... and restore... and restore... 
I called Sierra Customer Service today (tech support was "busy") and they said
that there was no intention of putting out another patch for QFG4.  This may
not be true, knowing Sierra Customer Service.

I recommend that anyone suffering from these problems take advantage of 
Sierra's 30 day no questions asked return policy... if you check the docs, 
you can return your game if you do not like it, you only have to tell them
why.  I suggest you tell them this:

Sierra,

   Like many others, I have enjoyed your games for many years.  Unfortunately,
your bloodthirsty lust for marketing brainwashed you into releasing several
games like QFG4 with a severly buggy Dos Extender Engine.  Your patch has 
failed at fixing these problems in my copy of QFG4.  I am returning it with a 
copy of the receipt for a full refund.  Perhaps when you have finally perfected
your engine, I will purchase the updated copy.  Until then,

       Your game has crashed... Kinda makes ya wish you waited until
       you got it to work, doesn't it?

       * Restore       * Restart        * Quit

       (He he he, a little SOFTWARE humor there.)
