AGI-64 is a newly announced AGI interpreter for the Commodore 64, allowing classic Sierra adventure games like Space Quest 1 to run on the platform. It is roughly 75% complete for Space Quest 1, which is already fully playable, and aims to support most AGI-era games. The free tool will let users compile their own .vol and .obj game files into an EasyFlash-compatible CRT file, compatible with devices like Kung Fu Flash. It supports save/load via real or SD-card-based 1541-compatible drives with room for six saved games, and includes custom background processing optimized for the C64's 1 MHz hardware.
