[Scummvm-devel] Fwd: Sierra games naming

[Filippos Karapetis]

Sorry, wrong reply :) Replying to -devel

Also, slight correction: since most SCI remakes were VGA (e.g. LSL1 and
SQ1), I'm doing the following:
Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter, SCI Remake (DOS/English)
and
Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter, SCI Remake (EGA/DOS/English)

i.e. it is assumed that the remake is VGA, unless specified otherwise

It is also not specified for SCI remakes which were only released in EGA
(e.g. KQ1 and KQ4), since
there's no differentiation needed from VGA versions in that case

Regards
Filippos

Would it help to drop the "remake" completely and only describe the game

Not quite. The text inside the parenthesis signifies the version of the game
itself (e.g. the platform, the colors etc), so "SCI" isn't part of this.

What I'm doing now is to change game descriptions to be like this:
Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter, SCI Remake (VGA/DOS/English)
and
Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter, SCI Remake (EGA/DOS/English)

"SCI Remake" is part of the game description, as it's a completely different
game than its AGI counterpart, and "VGA" and "EGA" give a more detailed
description on the specific SCI game version

Filippos
