Russian versions of SCI games?!

Eero R Well, I just bought from my friend LSL1 Remake, SQ4 and SQ5 Russian versions. Are they fan-translated or something? I never heard of Russian versions of these games.
BTW, executables are named newsciv.exe, which is problably newer version of engine to support cyrillic characters...
HwM They're unofficial translations... The games have altered sprites (such as Ken in Lefty's) and a lot of other things that point to "unofficialness"...

The NEWSCIV you talk about isn't a newer version of the engine, but has an intro attached to it (saying "T & J Soft presents *name of game*, with a couple of photos, etc.) and is packed/encrypted...
Eero R Damn! The CDs seemed to be originals... And it costed me quite much... :-\ At least I got Space Quest 5 French and German versions for this money too...
And I didn't get them running either (all original SCI games work)...
