Imagine having the complete scripts (game code) of all Sierra On-Line games that use the SCI engine published between 1988 and 1996 fully decompiled, human-readable and annotated.

Yes. 100% of the scripts. 100% of the games.

SCI mastermind sluicebox did it again!

If you want to learn about the full story, ranging from a deep-dive into the code and tales about the history of Sierra's script language and previous reverse engineering efforts, check out

"Throughout SCI's successful nine year run, the language never changed. The details that drifted are unspeakably dull. The games from 1988 are radically different than 1996, but underneath it's all the same bytecode from the same language. This was a design goal from the start."
