I played many of the early Sierra AGI Quest games in the early 90s on a 286 with an Amber Monochrome monitor and a Hercules graphics card back. Years later, after I'd finally gotten a proper VGA card, and went back and bought the collections, I was always confused when no matter which release I played, even the last AGI versions had the real-time text entry that the earliest versions had, instead of the SCI-like input box that I remembered. <br /><br />Thanks for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-20377027079760374842015-08-06T21:03:02.542-04:002015-08-06T21:03:02.542-04:00Looks like there is a modern tool for decrypting A...Looks like there is a modern tool for decrypting AGI into AGI.exe without needing to read the keydisk. I guess you just copy your game files from the floppies on to any modern Windows machine and then decrypt the game for play in Dosbox.

However, the graphic pixels are always doubled, so the effective graphics horizontal resolution is 160x200. Only with SCI Sierra adventure games can you enjoy 320 distinct horizontal graphics pixels.Great Hierophanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04409413307024477304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-13996703184560421102015-01-22T16:37:38.281-05:002015-01-22T16:37:38.281-05:00Hi, I'd like to know if the Donald Duck's ...Hi, I'd like to know if the Donald Duck's Playground game suports 320x200 as standard resolution, or any other game from later versions of AGI supports this resolution (before SCI)?<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-69150699294833465792013-03-17T17:11:49.223-04:002013-03-17T17:11:49.223-04:00I have Police Quest - In Pursuit of the Death Ange...I have Police Quest - In Pursuit of the Death Angel except 2.911.<br />No key disk exist with all version.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-39804863109731992572013-03-12T13:23:25.583-04:002013-03-12T13:23:25.583-04:00one of the versions of kings quest 3 had poor tand...one of the versions of kings quest 3 had poor tandy 3-voice support.
