| About SCI | | SCI is the system that Sierra Online used to create games. SCI stands for Sierra Creative Interpreter. SCI is the engine that replaced the AGI engine, mostly because the SCI engine was developed to be alot more flexible with what you could do. It was able to create any type of game, not just adventure games. There are many variations of the SCI engine which where used till the end of sierra. The first variation known as SCI0 used 16 colors and had a parser, one of the later variations called SCI1 used VGA graphics and mouse pointers to play instead of a parser, and the last few variations known as SCI32 had 32bit color, full support for alot of devices and worked in dos and windows. Some of the best games Sierra ever produced where created using the SCI engine. This system was also ported to many os's and many languages, which made these games cross platform. |
