	The Ultimate AGI & SCI Web Site
		There were AGI games released on the computers such as the Apple II and the Amiga, as well as SCI games on systems such as the Amiga and Mac.
		The newer CGA interpreters used the CGA palette one (background, cyan, magenta, and white) and are nothing more than the EGA games with limited graphics, nothing fancy.
		It is the same game as the one on all other systems that I have tried, but it has a low colour NES palette.

	Space Quest 0: Replicated - Windows PC review
		It created the AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter) engine, which allowed the gamer to move his character across the screen by using the cursor keys.
		This got very frustrating, as I was forced save the game every minute, and in the case of an untimely demise of my main character, I had to wait for the final death screen, then type in "Restore game" and then select the proper saved file.
		The writer of this game was trying very hard, and managed to make it very funny at the beginning, but over time the jokes became simple easter eggs, and after a dozen of instances of seeing an item from the Star Trek or Star Wars series, even those got tiresome.

	Interview: Al Lowe - 1 [Adventure Central]
		My feelings were that adventure games had stopped selling and that adventures were really in trouble; that the buyers had gone elsewhere; there's a new generation of game buying public into other things and not into games that made you think, that made you solve puzzles, that made you understand relationships.
		The problem with adventures is that so many of the things that adventure games is have been usurped by other genres, whereas, story lines used to be non-existent in action games, but suddenly action games have stories.
		The reason I would be interested in doing the project was that no one had done a game that had a completely independent camera, had puzzles that were based on 3D and a sense of humor and all the other stuff, and I thought maybe this was the game that could break through.

	The Black Cauldron (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In order to make the game more accessible to children, Sierra used an innovative idea ahead of its time that would not reappear in the genre for the next 10 years: the text parser was removed in favor of the function keys that performed various actions:
		The plot resembled that of the movie: the player character was a young assistant pig-keeper, Taran, undertaking a quest to stop the evil Horned King, who sought for Hen Wen, the magical pig of the wizard Dallben, for her visionary abilities.
		The game actually featured plot branches and multiple endings depending on many variables, such as whether Hen Wen the pig was saved, how the cauldron was destroyed and what reward was chosen afterwards.

		In some adventure games, the puzzles are only there to stall progress and make the gameplay longer.
		Still, adventurers that are experienced in puzzle solving may complete each path through the game in a couple of hours.

		It was a big hit back then and of course it became the first episode in a series of adventures telling the tale of a magical kingdom: Daventry.
		This game is really old, so Sierra, as they did in many cases, made an update version of this game too.
		Both the original and the update version use a type-in interpreter (different versions though) so if you hate typing, then this game is not for you (and neither are the next three episodes).

	A brief history of Police Quest - Feature - Adventure Classic Gaming - ACG - Adventure Games, Interactive Fiction Games ...
		While not revolutionary in design (the first game of the series uses the propriety AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter) interface which is considered to be the standard for adventure games at the time), the game is revolutionary in concept.
		Police Quest is the first game to accurately depict the occupation of a police officer.
		Not emphasizing on shootouts in its gameplay (firing your gun when the use of it is uncalled for can end the game), the Police Quest series forces the gamers to rely on their instinct and common sense to succeed in the game, rather than thinking up the best ways to wipe out the baddies.

		And that was one of the things I worked hard on that character was that he was, at a first glance, a swarmy, distasteful, kind of character, you know, but by the end of the game, people liked him.
		I mean, It was a female chauvinist game because the women always got the upper hand.
