After visiting a Games for Change salon last night, I spent some time thinking about the possibilities for developing point and click adventure games (a la king’s quest, Monkey Island, etc.). After some googling, I found these resources shared here for your benefit:

• www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ – A new-fangled tool for creating adventure games modeled after SCUMM and SCI
• www.agidev.com/ – Site focused around older AGI based Sierra-style games (KQ1, Leisure Suit Larry 1, Police Quest 1, &c.)
• www.bripro.com/scistudio/index.php – SCI0 creation utility for making middle-era Sierra-style games (KQ4, LSL3, &c.)
• en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra’s_Creative_Interpreter – More information on SCI including SCI versions 0 through 3.
• agisci.cjb.net/ – Even more SCI and AGI resources.
• gamefileformats.netfirms.com/ – An archive of video game formats with descriptions and some utilities
• www.scummvm.org/ – A reverse engineered interpreter for SCUMM based games (Monkey Island, Sam & Max, &c.) also runs Westwood Studios AGI.
• scumm.mixnmojo.com/ – A site with resources for SCUMM developers
