- Josh Mandel had a long history connected to the history of King's Quest.
- Josh started at Sierra On-Line in 1990 as an assistant producer, his first project being the SCI remake of King's Quest 1. But he preferred to spend his time writing sarcastic texts for any designer who'd let him. Unkowingly for many Space Quest fans, Josh Mandel did a huge amount of "behing the scenes" work for the Space Quest Series as contributing writer. Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe gave him his first opportunity by allowing him to write the parody software boxes and bogus hint book for Space Quest 4.

Josh Mandel set out to design Space Quest 6, but just as the project neared completion, Josh had to leave the project. Scott Murphy did the rest. Space Quest 6 was market as a 'Scott Murphy solo job'. But in fact Josh had designed the whole game. Scott: "I want to publicly apologize to Josh for this. It was a difficult situation for both of us. The 'solo job' thing I honestly had no clue about until I got my packaged copy of the game. Anyway, Josh did get screwed over and I hope he accepts my too-late apology for any part I may have played. I made a mistake I'm not proud of."
