Rare SCI Games

You ninja'd me with this, so I'll just make a separate post to make sure you see it: It's also possible that it's just the EGA thing. Are the others VGA?

I don't have the interpreter 1.SQ4.056 in VGA. Only in LOWRES-EGA. I think it's an interpreter specifically for a LOWRES-EGA edition. However, with the interpreter 1.SQ4.057, the game is in VGA in English, Spanish, as well as French. The German edition uses the interpreter 1.SQ4.030.

Which is exactly what I was trying to say. OK then, it seems safe to assume that the only difference between 1.SQ4.056 and 1.SQ4.057 is the graphics mode. In fact, this should be discernible from the name of the executable (SCIDHUV.EXE for VGA, and I think SCIDUV.EXE for EGA?)

The file in question is not present, but the interpreter 1.SQ4.056 is used for the LAWRES-EGA version of LSL1 Bilingual, Spanish/English, and the game includes the file SCIDUV.EXE. I conclude that this is the LAWRES-EGA edition SOLD SEPARATELY and not a box labeled VGA and EGA. Right?
