AGI Quest I: The Computer Game

AGI Quest I is a four-room AGI game that has been created with the following design principles in mind:

Professional graphics and animation: My goal has been to attain at least the same level of quality in graphics and animation as in the original Sierra AGI games. As the performance of modern computers eases the graphics restrictions that AGI used to impose on designers, I have been able to use larger sprites (“views”) than the creators of the original games. In addition, I have paid particular attention to AGI priority screens and attempted to utilize them as extensively as possible.
Playability: The game consists of a few simple puzzles of easy-to-moderate difficulty. As the game is very short, there is no real plot. There are no dead ends, although dying is possible. I have attempted to give the game a large vocabulary so that the player would receive as few “I don’t understand” replies as possible.
Originality of almost all content: Instead of relying on graphics ripped from old Sierra games, I have drawn all views and backgrounds from scratch. In addition, I have written all the music in the game myself and manually encoded the music files as raw data for optimal quality. Some of the logic code is based on the AGI Studio template game, but I’ve rewritten about 75% of the template as well.

The game is available for downloading below. However, I would like to emphasize the following three points.

READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING:

I am unable to provide technical support for the game.: The game is not playable “as is”, as I have not bundled an interpreter with it for various reasons. You will have to acquire an interpreter somewhere else. I recommend ScummVM, NAGI or the original Sierra AGI. Please do not email me asking for installation instructions. Thank you.
You may NOT put this game on another website.: Again, for various reasons, I want to keep this site the only place where AGI Quest is available. The game may not be “mirrored” anywhere.
You can also play AGI Quest on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance handheld console.: This can be accomplished by using the excellent GBAGI engine by Brian Provinciano. Note that the distribution restriction stipulated above does not apply to the AGI Quest/GBAGI package distributed on Brian’s page.

Walkthrough
(with spoilers (duh))

Saving and restoring games doesn’t work properly, as the save/restore code doesn’t reside in LOGIC 0 as it should. However, this is a conscious decision: in a short game such as this, sacrificing proper save/restore functionality for source code readability is a trade-off I’m willing to make.
The ending screen may run too fast on some platforms and too slow on others. There is no reasonable way to fix this the way I want to.
