Game Engine: Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI)

Group Description

The Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) engine was first introduced by Sierra for its early early adventure games, pioneered by King's Quest (1984).

The game engine was designed by Arthur Abraham and was previously meant for IBM PCjr but was ported to other platforms. Manhunter 2: San Francisco (1989) was the last commercial game published by Sierra using the AGI engine as the engine could no longer compete with other adventure game engines at that time, and was replaced by the Sierra's Creative Interpreter engine. The AGI engine however, continues to be used to create unofficial (shareware/freeware) AGI games by nostalgic individual programmers and companies.

Not to be confused with the Game Engine: Adventure Game Studio (AGS) game group.
