Rare SCI games
« on: October 06, 2002, 11:43:07 AM »
I thought I'd make a small list of of rare SCI games that I can't seem to find or I had a hard time finding (bold games are the ones I already have):

Rare SCI Games
EGA Versions:
This section covers all the little known EGA versions of well known SCI1 games, like King's Quest 5. When Sierra first moved to 256-color VGA games, they probably feared that people with inferior video cards, or not enough memory, wouldn't be able to run those games. So they made an alternative version with the same point-and-click interface, only with 16-color EGA graphics. When they moved to their newer interpreter, SCI1.1, they stopped making a seperate EGA version, and instead shipped the games (or at least some of them) with an EGA high-resolution driver, (called EGA640.DRV) that could dither the 320x240 VGA graphics in 640x480 EGA.
CD Versions:
This section covers all the less known CD versions of Sierra games.
  • Castle of Dr. Brain (CD Version)
  • Jones in the Fast Lane (CD Version)
Other:
This section covers all the rest.
  • Hero's Quest (Same game as QFG1-SCI0, only with a different title for legal reasons, SCI0)

My own personal list of Sierra games that exist, include these also...

Castle of Dr. Brain EGA
Castle of Dr. Brain (CD version)
EcoQuest 1 EGA
Leisure Suit Larry 1 (CD version) [Atleast, it's mentioned in the catalogue, never saw it though]

Further on, there are games like KQ7 1.0 (win only) and KQ7 2.0 (dos&win)...

Also, what's LSL6CD like? It's SCI32 isn't it?

Yeah - you're right.
I'm not interested in a list of all the sierra games you have. I'm only interested in games that are considered rare, such as the EGA versions of games (not something like the first AGI version of LSL1, but the EGA version of the SCI Remake).
I will edit my post soon, to add the games that you added.
The purpose is to let people in our community know such rare games exist. for example, until recently, many of us didn't know a game like King's Quest 5 EGA even existed, and the type of it's PIC resources is still not fully understood (unless I'm not updated with the latest breakthroughs).

HWM:
What do you mean by the dos and dos&win versions of KQ7? is there anything special about it?

Add Hero's Quest to the list, that game is pretty rare.(SCI0).

Chris:
You think so? I thought the Quest for Glory 1 SCI0 was rare.. Everywhere I looked I found only the Hero's Quest version, and only when I got the QFG collection, I found the QFG1 SCI0 version...
What do other people think about this? If you don't understand, than we're talking about 1 of the 3 versions that QFG1 comes in:
There's the original Hero's Quest 1 in SCI0, there's a same game with different title called Quest for Glory 1 in SCI0, and there's the VGA remake Quest for Glory 1 in SCI1. The last 2 versions can both be found on the QFG Collection CD.
Do you think that the first version is considered rare?

Berserk:
From your questions I get the feeling that you're confusing the EGA AGI versions with the EGA SCI versions we're talking about. Do you know that difference? For example, you wrote you have "Space Quest 1 (EGA & VGA)". Is your EGA versions a point-n-click version like the VGA one? If your answer is no, than you got the whole thread idea wrong. I suggest you start up a new thread with a question like: "What is the difference between AGI & SCI?" and I'm sure you'll get lots of information from the people here.

Do you mean Hero's Quest or Quest for Glory (that always confuses me)? QfG isn't that rare, and HQ isn't too, but I thought that wasn't from Sierra or even SCI.
