[Scummvm-devel] Sierra games naming

[Hubert Maier]

Hi devs,

i would like to understand the naming scheme behind the remakes of Sierra titles
in ScummVM and am asking for a possible change.

kq1sci    "King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown, SCI Remake (SCI
Remake/DOS/English)
kq4sci    "King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella, SCI Remake (SCI
Remake/DOS/English)"

Why is "SCI Remake" both in the name and in the description?
The "VGA Remake" of all the other games are only featured in the description (the
bracket part)

The next games which also fall under "AGI remake" does not feature the "SCI
Remake" in the name at all, not even in the description.
These games are suddenly "VGA Remake", probably because the AGI versions were EGA

lsl1sci    "Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards" (VGA
Remake/DOS/English)

I understand that LSL1 is a VGA remake opposite to the EGA remakes mentioned
above but i'm getting a headache as it's also a SCI remake from an AGI game :-)

The same goes for pq1sci and sq1sci, both SCI remakes from AGI games (both
probably AGI EGA games)

qfg1vga i understand as that is the only game in the list which is a VGA remake
from an EGA game (both SCI based)

Open for discussion :-)

I think it would be best to exchange the "vga" from qfg1vga with "sci" (as it is
also a SCI remake from an SCI game) to have consistency in the game ids as it
doesn't seem Sierra will develop further remakes anytime soon ;-)

Secondly i'd like to completely drop the "SCI Remake" from the names of kq1sci
and kq4sci and only feature it in the descriptions.

Too much trouble for such a small "issue"?
i can't code unfortunately and this is the closest i get in participating in the
project, so please don't bash :-)

Happy new year everyone

Take care

Hubert
