If you have the DOS version of a game and want to run it in Windows, or vice versa, you may need to know what version of AGS the game was compiled with in order to find the correct interpreter.

INFORMATION

The first task is to find the ACI version number. To do this:

If you have a DOS-compiled game, then type:

GAMENAME /?

where GAMENAME is the game's EXE file name.
This should produce output similar to:
Adventure Creator v2.2 Interpreter
Copyright (c) 1999-2000 Chris Jones
ACI version 2.20.154

If you have a Windows-compiled game, right-click the EXE file, and choose Properties. Click the Version tab, and you should see a version number such as "2.20.154".

The ACI version numbers correspond to AGS releases as follows:

v2.14.113 - AGS v2.14 SR-2
v2.14.115 - AGS v2.14 SR-3
v2.14.118 - AGS v2.14 SR-4
v2.15.124 - AGS v2.15
v2.15.127 - AGS v2.15 SR-1
v2.15.130 - AGS v2.15 SR-2
v2.15.132 - AGS v2.15 SR-3
v2.20.154 - AGS v2.2
v2.21.168 - AGS v2.21
v2.22.181 - AGS v2.22
v2.30.221 - AGS v2.3
v2.31.246 - AGS v2.31

If the version number is not listed above it may be a beta release or an older version. You can get the AGS version number from the first "v2.xx" part of the ACI version.
