== About == | |||
SCI, which Sierra referred to as both the "'''SC'''ript '''I'''nterpreter" and the "'''S'''ierra's '''C'''reative '''I'''nterpreter", is a p-machine style virtual machine for executing platform-independant, object-oriented code. | |||
SCI was designed for 16 bit little endian computers, although there were later attempts to create 32 bit versions, LSCI, and SCI32. SCI was exclusively used by Sierra On-Line, Inc., to run its computer game series, with titles like Leisure Suit Larry 2-7, Space Quest 3-6, King's Quest 4-6, Quest for Glory 1-4, and several others. | |||
The SCI engine in ScummVM is based on the code of the FreeSCI project, used with permission. | |||
== History == | |||
SCI was initially created in 1988 by Jeff Stephenson for replacing AGI. The first software using it was the [[King's Quest IV]] game at the same year of it's creation, which was previously released under the AGI engine. | |||
