Summary

| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | King's Quest IV |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | King's Quest IV was unique in that it was released as Sierra was transitioning from their AGI to SCI engine, and the intent is to place a screenshot of both the AGI and SCI versions of the game in the section where the two engines are discussed. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Among other improvements, the transition to SCI increased the resolution of EGA graphics in Sierra games at the time. These screenshots exist to give a visual example of the increased quality. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | I will use one low-resolution screenshot each for the AGI and SCI versions of the game, showing exactly the same frame of an opening cutscene. It's the smallest amount of data that can be provided while illustrating the graphical differences between the two engines. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site. |
