Booter versions of AGI games

Donald Duck's Playground

Donald Duck's Playground is an adventure game that was originally released for the IBM PC as a booter on a 5.25-inch double-density floppy disk with the total capacity of 360KB (40 tracks, 2 heads, 9 sectors per track). The game uses AGI version 2.001.

Directories

On the disk there exists directories that are equivalent to the logdir, picdir, viewdir and snddir in the DOS-based AGI games. Each directory entry is a (sector,offset) pair that indicates where on the disk is the beginning of the resource. The format of each entry is: 

        Byte 0           Byte 1           Byte 2
    7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0  7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0  7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
    . . . . S S S S  S S S S S S S O  O O O O O O O O

where S is the sector number O the offset in that sector. Actually the sector number is not the absolute sector but an offset that is added to a base sector for all game resources. This base sector is the beginning of the DOS VOL-equivalent.
