Rare AGI Games on standard PC DOS
« on: May 30, 2026, 06:56:31 AM »
My title says 'rare', but I could have used 'untraceable' or 'nonexistent'. I don't know.

Please, I would like to know if the following games exist on standard PC DOS or only on PC BOOSTER and PCJr?

They are:
-King's Quest 1, Game version 1.0U, Interpreter version 2.272.
-King's Quest 2, Game version 1.0W and 1.1H.
-The Black Cauldron, Game version 1.1J, 1.1K, and 1.1M.

I sent a MP to @lance.ewing, but he hasn't been around for a while; I hope he's doing well. I'm just a simple translator and I don't have your knowledge; I hope you can provide the answer.

P.S.: I'm testing the existing versions: https://github.com/Thpwg/AGI-SCI-index If you see any mistakes on my part, please feel free to point them out, and I will make the corrections.

Interpreter version 2.272 can?t be a booter. The booter used GAL (which I *think* was called AGI0 also?).
As for TBC, we have the source code for it! - so we know that it builds on regular AGI, at least.

Hello lskovlun,

That?s interesting, I didn?t know there were stages between PRE-AGI and AGI, it seems to be GAL/AGI0.

As for TBC, we have the source code for it! - so we know that it builds on regular AGI, at least.
That's good news for my translation projects. Has the source code of The Black Cauldron been publicly released? If so, do you have a link?

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to me :)

The game proposed by Historical Source seems to be the atypical version mentioned by @AGKorson here: https://sciprogramming.com/community/index.php?topic=2113.msg16036#msg16036

It does not appear to be versions 1.1J, 1.1K, or 1.1M: https://i.ibb.co/LzrfXPyX/readme.png
