[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 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.

[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

  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.
