Porting Manhunter II To The IIgs (AGI)

[Tempest <tempest@atariprotos.com>]

Last week I was fiddiling around with the Lost Treasures of Infocom
interpreter on the Apple IIgs, and I was able to get some Infocom
games that were never released for the IIgs to work on it by simply
copying the game files to where the interpreter could find them.  This
got me to thinking, doesn't the Sierra Adventure Game Interpreter
(AGI) work the same way?

As you know, there was one AGI game that was never released for the
Apple II/IIgs: Manuhunter II.  What I was wondering is, can you take
the game files from a version that was released (say the PC or Amiga
version), copy them to the IIgs, and then use the AGI interpreter that
came with one of the IIgs Sierra games to run it?  I'm not sure if the
AGI interpreter works the same with that the Infocom interpreter does,
but something tells me that it can't be this easy.  I'm guessing that
things like the music files wouldn't be in the right format.

Also, has anyone looked into how hard it would be to SCI to the IIgs
(with an accelerator of course)?  Given how obscure the IIgs is as a
gaming platform, this is probably a pipe dream...
