The Eveready Energizer bunny came first.
Right before going to Sierra, I actually happened to be working at the advertising agency (DDB Needham, as it was called at the time) that had lost the Eveready account. People at the agency who'd worked on the project were quite bitter, because the "bunny" had been an invention of that agency years before, and had been retired. As soon as Eveready went to the new agency (I'm not sure which one it was), the new agency said, "Hey, why don't we use that bunny again?" and Eveready said, "Sure!".
I think Duracell just adopted a bunny in order to poke fun of, and steal some sales from, Eveready.
SyntheticGerbil,
I have never seen that room! Very cool. I doubt it had anything to do with KQ6, though, as KQ6 had not even been started on at the time that SQ4 came out.
I'm surprised that VU has not defended their SQ copyrights with fangames the way they have with the Tierra releases.
Tim,
It's remarkable what a little Propecia and a good airbrusher can do!
