The early SCI0 interpreter did not include special characters such as the
accent grave,
accent aigu, and the
umlautThe diaeresis and the umlaut are diacritics that consist of two dots placed over a letter, most commonly a vowel. When that letter is an i or a j, the diacritic replaces the tittle: ï....
. A later SCI0 fork named S.old enabled the foreign language support.
Media
All the SCI0/1 games were released on both 3.5" & 5.25" disks, except XMAS Card 1988, Astro Chicken & Fun Seeker's Guide, which were public domain. Later, SCI11 were released solely on 3.5" or CD-ROM.
All the games listed are disk versions unless noted else.
Graphics
SCI0 games were mostly made for the 16 color EGA graphics adapter.
SCI1 games were released as two versions: 16 color EGA and 256 color VGA versions. The 16 color versions are much more "ugly" and also smaller in size, compared to their 256 color counterparts. This was done for people with CGA/EGA/TANDY videocards and a low-memory setup.
SCI11 ended this tradition by adding an EGA 320x200 graphics driver that dithered the pictures dynamically from their 256-color source.
SCI2 games supported high-resolution 640x480 SVGA graphics.
