Better game detection code. NAGI approach with inheritable settings seems to be nice. Direct MD5 approach will not always work, i.e. we have to have a good fallback, so zillions of fan-made games could work as is. (in progress ?). Fallback should be pretty simple, there are only two known versions of logic compiler (one old one outputs 2.440, all the current AGI Editors do 2.917).
Improve save/load management
Better objectify
Finish Apple IIgs sound support
Better compatibility. NAGI is known to be more stable

Write documentation for AGI256 and AGI256-2 hacks
Disable CGA rendering for AGI256 and AGI256-2 games
Finish the implementation of Apple IIGS sound support
Fix priority screen showing (For debugging) in AGI256 and AGI256-2 mode
- Pretty much done, only ego's priority showing still missing.

And some items that I'm not currently working on but they're here so I don't totally forget about them:

Add GUI-stuff to AGI fallback detector
- Add only at first run on-screen warning (with OK button) where user will be invited submit his game to us ("Please, submit your game to ScummVM Team")
Finish sev's fallback detector changes
- Implement some simple .ini file supplement
  - Add fanmade.ini file support
  - Move most of fanmade games to separate external file (An ini-file with more features than WinAGI's wag-files + md5s)?
Add parsing of WORDS.TOK to AGI's predictive input (Don't just use the pred.dic that comes with ScummVM)
- Would make it impossible to have missing words in a game (Think about new fangames)

Amiga-Style Menu

First thing to consider is that NAGI has X11 license.

Custom picture/view/cel-dependent palettes
- Example: Darken the backgrounds, lighten the ego and objects.

Support for AGI v2.001 + v1 PC-Disk images (The biggest bar to entry is really working out how the executable knows where files 'map' to on disk, the fileformats are the same, so its just working out how the game knows Sector X, head Y, Track D is the start of File Q).
