Over the weekend I was able to look at this game for a friend to see
if it could be made to run in sixteen colors.
 
I found out that Sierra had written PCjr support into the game
but not into the installation/customization procedure.  At the last
minute they must have decided not to support the PCjr (or perhaps they
knew we'd figure out that the "support" was there, only unofficially).
 
The bottom line is that you can easily get this game to run on the
junior in full 16 colors by:
 
1. Running the installation program (INSTALL.EXE)
   - Select Tandy graphics, 3 voice sound, etc...
   - This produces an ASCII file (RESOURCE.CFG) as output
2. Editing the RESOURCE.CFG file created by step 1
   - Change the line that reads TANDY to read PCJR and save your
      change to disk.
 
You are now all set to go!  Just type "sierra" at the DOS prompt
(as normal).  No software patches needed!!!  (Of course, no
support from Sierra either!)
