FreeSCI is a portable re-implementation of the SCI interpreter used in many of Sierra On-Line, Inc.’s computer games (particularly in those published from 1988 to 1996). It allows games such as Leisure Suit Larry 2 and 3, Quest for Glory 1 or Space Quest 3 to be played on modern computers.
The current ‘stable’ development branch (0.3.x) only supports the first version of SCI games, which were limited to 16 color graphics and used a parser-driven interface (with some limited mouse support).

Slightly over a year after the last release, FreeSCI 0.3.4 has now been made available for download. This release features a large number of bugfixes, plus the following new features:
* Adlib emulation for PCM devices (Solomon Peachy)
* Dreamcast port (Walter van Niftrik)
* MorphOS port (Ruediger Hanke)
* DirectX 8.0a graphics driver (Alexander Angas)
* Sound support on IRIX (Rainer Canavan)
* Optional on-screen debug console
* DirectFB full-screen console graphics driver

Simultaneously, a developers’ release of the experimental ‘glutton’ branch, 0.6.0, has been published; this release features a completely re-written virtual machine and a number of other changes in preparation for support for SCI01 (and later) games. Again, this is a developer-only release; while most games supported in 0.3.4 seem somewhat playable in it, it does not feature
savegame or complete sound support.

Both versions are available for download from FreeSCI Savannah thanks to Phantom for the news
