SCI Games
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article lists all the known versions of SCI (Sierra's Creative Interpreter) games.

[edit] Supported Platforms
SCI games were originally available on:
| Platform | SCI0 | SCI1 | SCI2 & SCI3 |
| IBM PC | Yes [1] | 286+ | 386+ |
| Apple Macintosh | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Atari ST | Yes | No | No |
| Commodore AMIGA | Yes | Yes | No |
| Fujitsu FM Towns | No | Yes | No |
[edit] International Translations
This table will show information about translations/international versions:
| Engine | Foreign v. | Languages known | Suspected | Notes |
| SCI0 | Bi-lingual | FR/GER | JAP | Converted SCI0 games |
| SCI1 | Bi-lingual | FR/GER/IT/SP | None | |
| SCI1.1 | Standalone | FR/GER/IT/SP/PT | JAP | Only RESOURCE.MSG differs |
| SCI2 | Standalone | FR/GER/IT/SP/PT | JAP | Sometimes subtitles only |
The early SCI0 interpreter did not cover special characters like accent grave, accent egu, umlaut, etc. A later SCI0 fork named S.old enabled the foreign language support.
[edit] Media
All the SCI0/1 games were released on both 3.5" & 5.25" disks, except XMAS Card 1988, Astro Chicken & Fun Seeker's Guide, which were public domain. Later, SCI11 were released solely on 3.5" or CD-ROM.
All the games listed are disk versions unless noted else.
[edit] Graphics
SCI0 games were mostly made for the 16 color EGA graphics adapter. Only the last SCI0 game (Jones in the fast lane) used a newer graphics engine and supported the 256 color VGA.
SCI1 games were released as two versions: 16 color EGA and 256 color VGA versions. The 16 color versions are much more "ugly" and also smaller in size, compared to their 256 color counterparts. This was done for people with CGA/EGA/TANDY videocards and a low-memory setup.
SCI11 ended this tradition by adding an EGA 640x200 graphics driver that dithered the pictures dynamically from their 256-color source.
SCI2 games supported high-resolution 640x480 SVGA graphics.

[edit] Notes
- ^ Including PCjr & TANDY
- ^ QA file claims int. ver 0.000.397
- ^ Original SCI0 re-release of Hero's Quest under another name
- ^ But NOT cracked, it's just missing from the game's script code
- ^ a b c d x.yyy.yyy is cleary a standard value, so these games actually have different interpreters. Games which share the same interpreter are grouped together in the same row.
- ^ a b c d AKA Twisty History
- ^ Version file says: KQ6 version 1.000.00G
- ^ The version string contains the text: "No version number", it's the same interpreter with both of the games.
