Description

Nick Sonneveld's NAGI, the New-Adventure-Game-Interpreter, is a clone of the original AGI Interpreter. It was written by Nick Sonneveld and originally released in 2002(???).

From the NAGI Website:

AGI Development Site[2] wrote:

NAGI was created by disassembling the original AGI executable and writing equivalent C code that would run under SDL which is a free generic library for low-level access to graphics and audio. It can read both v2 and v3 game data for the PC.

I started working on this (disassembling and learning stuff) around November 1999. I didn't really do much work on it until the start of 2001 when I finished the picture rendering code. So I started with a program that draws AGI pics to this... I actually got the initial idea from the guy who recreated an old game called Digger . He did the same thing by disassembling the original game and recoding it all in C.

Known issues

  • Donald Duck

Graphics only look good in v2.272 interpreter!! maybe it was packaged with wrong one sound isn't good either.. had to work around it in nagi.. does it do the same for other old ones?

Demo Pack 4

If you run the pq demo right after the mother goose demo then the gun shots do not animate properly. However, this is the same behaviour of the original interpreter.

Xmas Demo

The sides of some of the scrolling text is missing. This occurs on the original interpreter if you run 2.440 code on a 2.917 interpreter.

kq1 --- restore a game on the intro screen.. "press any key" is stuck on bottom

Escape Quest

The right sIDE of the status is meant to be missing during the intro. NAGI does this faithfully.

Botz

If you press Q AFTER the robots catch you and you're dead.. the thing hangs. This happens in the original interpreter too. 'Q' works before you get caught though.


Funny Larry thing:

This works in the original interpreter too.

  • skip the questions (either by answering them or alt-x)
  • when outsIDE the bar:
  • press alt-d for debug mode
  • then type "tp"
  • press enter or 0
  • you should go back to to the intro
  • press enter and you'll see something funny on the first screen when you walk around

it's a "bug".. but i thought it was cool.
