International Translations[edit]

This table will show information about translations/international versions:

The early SCI0 interpreter did not include special characters such as the accent grave, accent aigu, and the umlaut. A later SCI0 fork named S.old enabled the foreign language support.

Media[edit]

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 freeware. Later, SCI11 were released solely on 3.5" or CD-ROM.

All the games listed are disk versions unless noted else.

Graphics[edit]

SCI0 games only come in 16 color versions at a resolution of 320 by 200 pixels for EGA/Tandy/PCjr. CGA and Hercules were supported with a driver that dithered to 4/2 colors on-the-fly.

SCI1 games were released as two versions: 16 color (EGA/Tandy)and 256 color (VGA/MCGA) versions. The 16 color versions are smaller in size and ran faster on contemporary systems compared to their 256 color counterparts. This was done for people with CGA/EGA/TANDY graphics capability and/or lower system speeds.

SCI1.1 games came only in 256 color versions that included a driver which dithered the 256 color pictures to 640x200 in 16 colors on-the-fly.

SCI2 games supported 640x480 SVGA graphics.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Including PCjr & TANDY
  2. ^ QA file claims int. ver 0.000.397
  3. ^ Original SCI0 re-release of Hero's Quest under another name
  4. ^ But NOT cracked, it's just missing from the game's script code
  5. ^ 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.
  6. ^ a b c d AKA Twisty History
  7. ^ Version file says: KQ6 version 1.000.00G
  8. ^ The version string contains the text: "No version number", it's the same interpreter with both of the games.
