I believe Phantas 2 was about the only 16-bit colour SCI game too, no? I have a feeling all the others were 8-bit but I can't be sure.

There's a snowball's chance that they'll do something with old Sierra IPs and a higher chance that, if they do, it won't be favourable. I'm just tickled that so many high profile studio execs, gaming journalists, and YT/Twitch personalities are name-dropping King's Quest, Space Quest, and Quest for Glory all the sudden. Geoff Keighley, the host of The Game Awards, tagged Xbox in a Tweet saying that they should revive Freddy Pharkas and then revealed that he was a beta tester for the original in 1993. He then put up a Twitter poll (which can only have 4 options) asking what should be revived: Guitar Hero, Heretic/Hexen, Prototype, or Space Quest. Space Quest got 5.1% of the 80,302 votes but still. That's still about 4095 people voting. I just thought that was cool.

Really nice to see this much attention given to AGI still.

Bonus points if you can have it import/export a QFG character profile file.

I must have been on something when I posted this. And mostly taking my friend's word for it. Don't mind me.  Sorry about the confusion.

According to what NRS told me way back when, it's "basically" just amending audio data onto the end of the file. But I'm sure it has to change some header information too.

There's no source for AddWave. NRS didn't provide any.

SCI Syntax Help / Re: xStep, yStep and the edge of the screen

Is the issue with keyboard controls or mouse controls? I have control issues like that all the time with one of them and I have to use the other to actually trigger the boundary and trigger the next screen with KQ2SCI and I've never solved. Not without control colours to trigger it instead anyway.

Ah yes. Priority maps are totally different.
