Big list of 3rd party remakes and spiritual successors to Sierra adventures

I thought "There should be a list of all Sierra fan remakes and spiritual successors." And then I discovered, there is one ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Arj0nAGS Despite its size, it isn't comprehensive. As examples, Al Emmo, The Crimson Diamond, and the forecast-to-be-finally-relea...

King's Quest IV Retold

Due to an excellent video series on King's Quest IV by YouTuber OneShortEye, here: https://youtu.be/Wbo9TEbcVdY and https://youtu.be/XLwQbIUklzo ... I came to be aware of King's Quest IV Retold, which attempts to combine the best elements of each version of KQIV (keeping the MT-32 soundtrack!), yet ...

Laura Bow-inspired "The Crimson Diamond"

Last year, a solo indie dev launched a new game on Steam that they'd been working on for years. It's very "The Colonel's Bequest" inspired! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/The_Crimson_Diamond/ Reviews listed in the game description: REVIEWS “If you love the old murder mystery ga...

Tech demo making Sierra's "3D" AGI system more "3D"

Interesting thing that popped up in my YouTube feed. This was posted back in January - looks impressive to me.

Re: AGI, MT-32, and the Apple IIgs

I think what you're saying is to use the icons on the second row across the top. Those icons are just shortcuts to the same items in the text menu. The icons are (left to right): Open Game, Close Game, Run Game, Print, New Resource, Open Resource, Import Resource, etc. Selecting "Sounds" f...

Re: AGI, MT-32, and the Apple IIgs

Tip: When using CiderPress, uncheck "Add file attribute preservation" and the #xxxxxx stuff won't be added. Works great. But I need more instructions on how to use WinAGI. I'm finding that WinAGI isn't intuitive for me. I'm using v2.1.10. On any game I try to use "Import Game", i...

Re: AGI, MT-32, and the Apple IIgs

FYI, LateBlt covers the Apple IIgs music you can expect across the King’s Quest and Space Quest series. And yes, he only showed 4 themes in Space Quest. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL87AFCC8454CE0A01 Re: SysEx - that makes sense to me. So if there is no SysEx... that would seem to support the ...

Re: AGI, MT-32, and the Apple IIgs

Fantastic work Spikey! "Composed for MT-32" could apply to new themes developed just for the IIgs version, and potentially for games released across multiple platforms including the IIgs simultaneously. "Reorchestrated for MT-32" would be the more technically correct term for any...

Re: AGI, MT-32, and the Apple IIgs

Maybe Xeen used some program similar to the AGI-to-MIDI programs I linked to, and perhaps remixed them to create an MT-32 soundtrack, but that's his own work entirely (which in and of itself, is nothing to sneeze at). What am I missing here? Except that is not what Xeen has said. He is saying that ...
