[Scummvm-devel] Sierra games naming

[Hubert Maier]

Hi Johannes,

>>> 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 ;-
>>> )
>> Am I misunderstanding you or do you want to change "qfg1vga" to "qfg1sci"?
>> That wouldn't make any sense; since both the original and the remake are

>  game ID, which, to my understanding, is not a good idea because the SCI
>  versions used are quite different.

You put it best, that is exactly what i was trying to say
