Quest for Glory III: Wages of War - PC Games
1992: The third part of the Quest for Glory adventure/RPG game series brings the continuation of the quest to Serengti-like plains. Many die-hard fans of the series weren't too pleased with the icon-drive interface, saying it felt too restrictive compared to the text parser of the first two titles.

Sierra's Creative Interpreter (SCI) is the scripting language created by Jeff Stephenson of Sierra On-Line for its adventure games after the older AGI. While AGI was a procedural language, SCI is completely object-oriented.
Although continuously developed between 1988 and 1996, five major versions can be isolated: SCI0, SCI1, SCI1.1, SCI2 and SCI3. This list deals with the later versions, SCI1,1, SCI2 and SCI3.
SCI1.1: Apart from considerable internal changes, there now was added support for animated movie sequences (first used in King's Quest VI) as well as scaling sprites (characters would become smaller as they walk into the distance, giving a pseudo-3D effect). Also, 16-color packages were no longer available.
SCI2 & SCI3: Both these versions were sometimes called SCI32, in reference to them running in 32-bit mode is the DOS4G extender or using Windows 3.1 Enhanced mode. Most notable is the support of high-resolution 640x480 graphics, as well as better movie support. The last version, SCI3, added native Windows 95 support.
