Mega Tokyo AGI Archive / new release PASSIGAR

« on: June 12, 2004, 11:59:00 AM »

Hello all,

I won't bore you all by posting all new releases, but since this is the first full release, I wanted to make an exception.

The first full release of PASSIGAR is available on http://www.sqeagz.com/passigar.

If you want to contact me, you can do so writing to:

I know there exist colour AGI games for Apple IIgs, which also were playable on the older Macs. Are you confused with that?

LSL6 CD really wasn't translated into spanish, in fact I made a translation using the method I mention above (took the files from floppy version and used them as patches).

Yeah, I meant LSL6 CD was released with German subtitles, but not with Spanish, so was wondering if one with French exists...

Yet, special edition versions of some Sierra games (like SQ4 CD, KQ5CD or LSL6CD) were never released or translated (well, Gabriel Knight CD was).

Was GK1 CD released with Spanish translation or just plain English version?

Furthermore, some other questions:

The following games I can't find info on if they exist. For each I've explained why I think they are there (or not):

Eco Quest 1 (Talkie) German -> Dont' think this exists, since talkie version never had another language (subtitled!), only GK1 and LSL6 had a german substitled version.

Gabriel Knight 1 (Talkie) and Larry 6 (Talkie) French -> These two had a German subtitled version, but no Spanish one (kelmer).

Eco Quest 2 German -> Makes sense since French and Spanish version are available, just like EQ1, LB2, QFG3, KQ6, SQ5 and FP, which were are released around same time (Dec 1991-Apr 1993)

Police Quest 3 French -> This game was released along KQ5, SQ4, LSL5 (Dec 1990-Aug 1991), they all have French, German, Spanish language. PQ3 has German and Spanish, so I think French too?

Quest for Glory 4 French -> Spanish one does not exist, German one does...

Police Quest 4 Spanish -> Kelmer thinks this one does not exist, other do. PQ4 German and French do exist too.

Any confirmations on my ideas will be helpful.

Thanks very much kelmer. Now, if we would have someone from France and/or Germany to give us that much detail too, we would we finished!

Anyone?

What I'm confused about is why Sierra followed this inconsistent release schedule of language versions (French/German/Spanish). For example:

1. Why was Space Quest 3 (Sci01) only released in German?
2. Why was Police Quest (Sci1) not released in French.
3. Why was Conquest of the Longbow (Sci1) only released in German?
4. Why was Eco Quest 2 (Sci11) not released in German.
5. Why was Larry 6 (Sci32) CD version only released with German texts?

etcetc...

Could it be that previous titles did not sell? Or that some ingame content was tricky for that country. Or that distributors didn't want to sell it? Or or...?

I tried to find info on this on the internet, but it's very hard to come by. I think that someone from France, Canada, Spain, Germany could know best what games were released and which were not and why?

Any light people can shed on this would be greatly appreciated...

Ramon.
