AGD Interactive
AGD Interactive is a non-profit company dedicated to remaking Sierra Entertainment's popular classic adventure games from the 1980s and early 1990s.
Formed in 2001 as Tierra Entertainment, the group is best known for their remakes of the popular King's Quest games.
Their first release was a critically acclaimed point-and-click remake of King's Quest 1: Quest for the Crown. This remake was known as King's Quest 1 VGA. At the end of 2002, they followed up with their second remake, a complete overhaul of King's Quest 2. This remake is known as King's Quest II+: Romancing the Stones. Both games have been greeted by Sierra fans with enthousiasm, and consider these remakes almost equal to Sierra's later King's Quest 5.
Their current project is a much-anticipated point-and-click VGA remake of the popular Quest for Glory 2: Trial by Fire. This remake is known as Quest for Glory 2 VGA, and is scheduled for a release in 2005.
The AGD Interactive team uses the Adventure Game Studio engine to create their remakes.
In late 2003, they stopped using the name Tierra Entertainment and started referring to themselves as AGD Interactive. AGD stands for Anonymous Game Developer. The two top designers want to keep their identity secret to keep the focus on the games (rather than the people), and are only credited as Anonymous Game Designer #1 and #2.
They have also formed a commercial company, Himalaya Studios , which will focus on creating original, point and click adventure games with high-resolution graphics.
