The Sierra Creative Interpreter (SCI) was a game engine developed by Sierra On-Line in the late 1980s as a successor to the earlier AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter) engine. SCI first appeared with King’s Quest IV in 1988 and powered many of Sierra’s adventure games through the 1990s. It introduced higher-resolution graphics, a point-and-click interface, a more sophisticated scripting language, and support for richer audio and animation.
