Sci Interpreter?

[DaveMan]

SCI was Sierra's other adventure game interpreter, which was used from 1988 to 1996ish. It was basically an update of AGI with support for VGA graphics and mouse input. A later version of SCI added support for 256 color graphics and did away with the text parser. The SCI intrepreter was used for games like King's Quest 4-7, Space Quest 3-6, Quest for Glory 1-4, Freddy Pharkas and much more. If I could play Quest for Glory on my GP32, I would be a happy little cuss for quite some time.

don't you guys know about Sarien?

edit: or is this for older Sierra adventures? the only one i was into was some of the Larry games, so i didn't know. sorry.

Sarien only runs Sierra AGI games. So yeah, It only runs the earlier ones.

Though, actually, some of the early SCI games were ported to Atari ST and are playable on Castaway. But you have to put up with virtual disk-swapping every two or three screens (Which gets very annoying very fast :angry: ) since Castaway doesn't support virtual hard drives.
