[Scummvm-devel] Sierra games naming

[Hubert Maier]

Hallo Max,

>>> After a brief discussion with LordHoto and clone2727, the "SCI Remake" bit
>>> has been moved to the extras field, to keep the original naming of the
>>> games.
>>> Thus, LSL1SCI EGA will become:
>>> Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards (SCI/EGA/DOS/English)
>> 
>>> This seems to be the most clear and concise solution...
>> 
>> Nice, best solution imho :-)
>> 
>> Another thing which caught my eye
>> 
>> "The Dig" and "Spy Fox 2: Some Assembly required" seem to be the only games
>> (as far as my collection goes) which doesn't feature a description part ()
>> at all.

>> Why is that?

> I can only comment on "The Dig". For there aren't any "real" variants. Well,
> there is the demo version, which *is* flagged as such. And there are
> different localizations. But distinguishing those actually required an extra
> hack to the detector, as the base files are identical across all versions.
> Oh yeah, there seems to be a hacked up russian translation which is the only
> version to actually modify one of the *.LA? files -- no idea why it does
> that though. And we could distinguish the Mac version by the fact that all
> its data files are put into a single archive file; but these files then in

> However, all these versions behave exactly the same, as they have identical
> scripts, so there seems no point to distinguish them further.

Thanks you very much for the information

Ciao,

Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent
or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was
at hand.
