AGI Game Updates

Newer graphics cards might display unreadable text in AGI games. This is a hardware problem, not an XP problem, the garbled text problem will also occur on Windows 95/98/ME as well. You can run the games in an emulator like DOSBox (for PC versions or AppleWin for Apple versions) or use one of the new third party AGI interpreters such as NAGI or Sarien.

With NAGI or Sarien not only will the garbled text problem be solved, but you'll hear all three MIDI voices and the "noise" channel. You will even have limited mouse support within your AGI games.

The zipped files below are Sarien replacements for the original Sierra AGI interpreter. They have embedded icons for the specific game. Just unzip to the appropriate game's folder. Shortcuts to the new executable can then be created on the desktop or Start Menu to start the game.
