Sierra Creative Interpreter (and sometimes SCript Interpreter) is a virtual machine for executing platform independent and object oriented code. It was developed by Sierra to run several of their game titles, e.g. Space Quest 3-6, Police Quest 2-3, Leisure Suit Larry 2-7, King's Quest 4-6, Quest for Glory 1-4, Hoyle's Book of Games 1-2, The Colenel's Bequest, Conquest of Camelot and Codename: Iceman. SCI replaced Sierra's earlier interpeter AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter), and was originally designed for 16 bit little-endian computers.
