#16573: SCI: PQ3: Detection entry for EGA (GOG Version) - DOS English
---------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter:  antoniou79      |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect          |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal          |  Component:  Engine: SCI
 Version:                  |   Keywords:  EGA
    Game:  Police Quest 3  |
---------------------------+-------------------------
 This is with ScummVM 2026.1.0 and also a recent build from ScummVM master
 HEAD (2026.1.1git)

 This is the detection output when adding the "ega" folder, of the PQ3
 installation from GOG for this game -- this EGA version is a recent
 addition (Feb 20, 2026).
 {{{
 The game in 'ega\' seems to be an unknown game variant.

 Please report the following data to the ScummVM team at
 https://bugs.scummvm.org/ along with the name of the game you tried to add
 and its version, language, etc.:

 Matched game IDs for the sci engine: pq3-fallback

   {"resource.000", 0, "7659713720d61d9465a59091b7ee63ea", 504069},
   {"resource.001", 0, "0284ca44341fbc3cb7a047e49d230234", 869158},
   {"resource.002", 0, "31c226bf01b69c8182b8ca0e8760b0a7", 983665},
   {"resource.003", 0, "9e6c53a0e7eef53694d260fade8b1fc7", 930048},
   {"resource.map", 0, "aa938c5c3ffd4927bba4edfb9db640df", 5535},

 }}}

 The VERSION file says: 1.000
 The executable "SCIDUV.EXE" contains a string "1.pq3.011" which, looking
 at some Google results, might indicate interpreter version.

 The game seems to run fine (up to the first playable screen that I've
 tested), when added as pq3-fallback (which still names it "Police Quest
 III: The Kindred (EGA/DOS)").

 The output of the "version" debug command from within ScummVM gives:
 {{{
