Android?

#1 Post by chaosensues » Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:02 am

I've recently discovered the joy that is playing classic adventures games on my Android smartphone/tablet. Is it possible to run KQ1 VGA using an emulator for Android like ScummVM or AnDosBox?

KQ1VGA (and the rest of AGDI's remakes) use the AGS game engine, which resembles but is not the classic game interpreter(s) that Sierra used. AGS is not virtulaized under ScummVM as it is not one of the supported engines. Many are asking for it and the source is open so I suppose it's just a matter of time. But I doubt anytime soon.

There is I believe, however, a port of AGS itself for the Android. At least, I've heard people running AGS games on it somewhat successfully. Google it.
