Having looked quite thoroughly at both formats to write PIC2PIC (</cheap plug>) I'm in a position to offer an informed opinion here.

	AGI	SCI
Basic format	Vector	Vector
Virtual screens	2	3
Resolution	320 x 190	640 x 400
Colours	16	256 (dithered)

PS - They are pretty similar, overall.
PPS - One was based on the other, I assume.

SCI VGA has 256, SCI0 had 16... SCI evolved alot through out time and was even used in games like SQ6.

LSL2 and LSL3 are SCI0 they use 16 colors. LSL 5 and 6 use SCI1 and LSL7 uses SCI32.

SCI0 is the first version of SCI it only had 16 colors.

Well SCI VGA started with SCI1 so I would say... basically all of the games that Sierra made that had a point and click interface is VGA... if it was SCI and had typing then it was SCI EGA. Well except for LSL7 which was SCI32 and had both point and click and a simple typeing parser.
