Sierra Game VersionsSierra Game Versions The list is sorted on interpreter version, except for the ancient AGI0 and AGI1 interpreters, since they do not use proper version numbering! File dates are not used. This only deals with PC versions of the games. Based on this document. Used with permission.
AGI GamesAGI0 & AGI1 were originally available on:
AGI2 & AGI3 were originally available on:
No official translations known. If a game is marked with an * it means that the game has been shipped on both 3.5" & 5.25" disks, meaning the same version spread over more/less VOL files. Example:
AGI0
AGI1
AGI2
AGI3
SCI GamesSCI games were originally available on:
This table will show information about translations/international versions:
There are no real SCI0 translations. This is because this interpreter does not cover special characters like accent grave, accent egu, umlaut, etc. The SCI0 games that are translated are converted to the hybrid SCI01. All the SCI0(1) games are released on both 3.5" & 5.25" disks, except XMAS Card 1988, Astro Chicken & Fun Seeker's Guide, which of course were public domain. All the games listed are disk versions unless noted otherwise. SCI1 games were released as two versions: 16 color EGA and 256 color VGA versions. The 16 color versions are a lot "uglier" and also smaller in size, compared to their 256 color counterparts. This was done for people with CGA/EGA/TANDY video cards and a low-memory setup. SCI11 ended this tradition by adding a EGA graphics driver. SCI2, SCI21, and SCI3 can be collectively referred to as SCI32 because the released original interpreters were 32-bit executables. SCI0 (early)
SCI0 (late)
0.000.629 (QfG1) - first interpreter version that supported kGetTime(2 and 3) SCI01
SCI1 (ega)
SCI1 (early)
SCI1 (middle)
SCI1 (late)
SCI1 (unknown)
SCI1.1
1.001.050 (QfG3) - first interpreter version that used palette copying instead of merging SCI2
SCI21 (early)These were versions between SCI2 and SCI21. They used a modified SCI2 kernel table. Most of these games maintain the "old school" Sierra graphics. Robot videos were firstly introduced here, in the DOS version of KQ7. VMD videos were not available.
SCI21 (middle)These include the finalized kernel function table, also used in SCI3 games. VMD videos were introduced here, and a more heavy usage of robot videos. These games have the "new age" (cartoonish or 3D pre-rendered graphics with actors).
SCI21 (late)These are mainly SCI21 game demos of SCI3 games and exhibit behavior where strings and arrays are mixed together (they were cleanly separated in earlier versions).
SCI3
Unknown Versions
The version string contains the text: "No version number", it's the same interpreter with both of the games.
x.yyy.yyy is clearly a standard value, so these game do have different interpreters. The games which share the same interpreter are grouped by separating different versions with a blank line. Not SCI
Possible EntriesThe following games are likely/known to exist: AGI
SCI0
SCI1
SCI11
SCI32
Unknown
ExclusionsThese games are not AGI or SCI (but some are related to Sierra): Revolution Games
Other Genre Sierra Games
Only the demo of 3D Helicopter Simulator included in a demo-pack uses AGI. Most of these titles often have the usual filenames (RESOURCE, etc.) but they do not use the AGI/SCI interpreter. Early Sierra CD Titles
Same as disk versions. Post-1997 Sierra Games
After 1997, the SCI engine (and pretty much the adventure genre in general) was abandoned. Other AGI/SCI Games
Most (all?) of these are all hacks. It is unknown about later (SCI32) Russian ones, as some say they were indeed translated and sold officially. Notes
