I would give a clue - but the fact that the two of you have differing opinions tells me I may have found one that may be a little more difficult than normal!DeadPoolX wrote:That looks SCI to me...

Re: Sierra Games: Where Do I Belong?
Ah, you're right. It is SCI. The diagonal lines threw me off a bit. Must have been tired.

Re: Sierra Games: Where Do I Belong?
Okay, is there a primer somewhere on how to tell whether a game is AGI or SCI just from the way the pixels are drawn?

Re: Sierra Games: Where Do I Belong?
Yes. AGI pixels are double-wide because the graphics are 160x200 stretched to 320x200. SCI pixels are perfect squares at native 320x200 resolution.

I'll go out on a blink and say LSL2.
There's a new script around: PHANTASMAGORIA - A Puzzle Of Flesh! Check the Script Party topic in the Bard's Forum!

I will say if you have played this particular game - you have definitely seen this screen - at least once.
(Sort of a clue...)

Re: Sierra Games: Where Do I Belong?
So within the AGI resource file they're actually stored as 160x200 screens, but in gameplay they're displayed as 320x200. Is that a correct understanding?MusicallyInspired wrote:Yes.

Because plenty of screens you have probably seen more than once. Whether you criss-cross a room and see it again. But this one - once per game - is the most you will ever see it.
So the clues thus far -dotkel50 wrote:Come on Tawm, give us a clue that will actually help.
The main character is not named James.
You have seen this screen at least once per game (that you played it; and after the first time, probably never saw it again).
The game is a trilogy; and yet, it's not.
