Turns out it wasn't the anime itself that was a mistake.

I've ran a new dump, uncleaned as yet. And I'll probably do another -- it's easier to grab the whole thing than to aim at select updated threads, especially when the "unread" marks are already gone.

Then I'll carefully clean them up and upload then.

Because I have nothing better to do.


...now that I wrote that line I realize I do in fact have better things to do, but I don't care. I like the line. I like it about as much as the thread title, and that might as well be my personal motto. But that's already "e clunibus tractum" so 🤷‍♀️

What does SCI stand for?
"Sierra('s) Creative Interpreter". Some sources would argue it's "Script Interpreter" but that's a bit silly. Leave that to LucasArts.

Who created SCI?
The opening credits for King's Quest IV tell me the original SCI0 was created by Jeff Stephenson, Robert Heitman, Pablo Ghenis, Stuart Goldstein, and Chance Fullmer. I know Ghenis was still actively involved in the version I use and abuse.

How many times have we spoken about SCI on IRC?
Plenty enough that Jistuce's first question is a damn meme.

Will SCI run on a 68k-based Mac? How about an Atari ST? A VideoToaster?
There were Mac and Atari ports of at least several games, if the installation instructions in the tech manual are any indication. Amiga too, but I have doubts about the toaster specifically.

Which SCI game jumped the shark, technically? What was the Last Good SCI game?
I think the shark moment came when they started doing live-action FMV. I'm not sure if that means Phantasmagoria, Police Quest 4 Open Season, or whatever. I have no solid opinion on what the "last good" SCI game was, to be honest.

The neat thing about the "verb coin" as seen in Full Throttle is that neither SCUMM nor SCI require their usual interfaces to be like they are. Nothing technical dictated that the distaff in Loom be on the bottom of the screen, and SCI's icon(ic) bar is 100% done in game script code. Even SCUMM can't make that claim!

The background on the Hermes theme is actually supposed to be an image -- #1f222a url(images/body.gif) -- but I haven't bothered to rip any of the images yet.

Hermes fans may need to do the cache thing but the background's in.

Post background changed, buttons given explicit border colors instead of trusting the browser to know what a silver outset border should look like.

No, that's on purpose. I have an old plugin from an earlier board that does this crap for me. As far as the profile editor is concerned my title is "Supposed to be asleep".

The longest delay between registrating and posting was cooprocks123e, who waited nine days. To be precise, 835994 time_t.

ncbncb was the fastest at just under a minute.

(This post was supposed to be before the photos, Kawa or Screwtape :-P )
Editing the post changes the timestamp and puts it at the end again.

Well, that's not the full story of course cos that would mean ABXD's been Very Stupid about edits for literally years. But that's what you get when you have no patience and make another thread to put the pictures in.
