  "description_en": "Sarien reimplements Sierra On-Line's Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) in C so that AGI games such as Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest II and Mixed-Up Mother Goose run across many platforms. It executes the compiled Logic bytecode and handles AGI graphic, text and sound resources, including Amiga and Apple IIgs versions and AGDS games, and adds extras such as a debugger console, picture and dictionary viewers and three-channel PCM sound. The Hacker's Guide documents the interpreter's architecture, drivers, graphics and sound; the project later merged into ScummVM.",
