Finally, after decades of waiting, you’ll be able to play Sierra On-Line’s classic adventure games on the Commodore 64. Developed for Sierra’s King’s Quest in 1984, Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) was the game engine behind classic adventure games like Leisure Suit Larry, Space Quest and more. AGI was available on many of the contemporary platforms (MS-DOs, Apple pple IIc/IIe, etc) but was never ported to the Commodore 64, until now.
Through the work of Mean Hamster Software’s AGI-64 you’ll soon be able to play these classic Sierra Adventures on original and emulated Commodore 64s
We are happy to announce AGI-64, a long-awaited AGI interpreter for the Commodore 64. It is currently around 75% complete for Space Quest 1, which is completely playable now, and the engine aims to support most AGI games of the era.
The interpreter is in testing and already supports most standard AGI operations.
…AGI-64 will be a free download when it is ready. It includes a tool that takes the .vol and .obj files you supply from your own library and compiles them into a 1 MB EasyFlash-compatible CRT file
No visit with my 4 year old niece is complete without her explaining KPop Demon Hunters to her sister, 1, and cousin, 1 1/2. And she’s totally right to try to get the little ones on board – Rumi, Mira, and Zoe and awesome. Check out SideQuestCrafting’s take on Mira’s Gok-Do on YouTube
Did you know the Ruiz Brothers made Rumi’s Sword with nOOds? Follow along with their guide in the Adafruit Learning System!

August is Back to School Month here at Adafruit! Each week we’ll be bringing you #BackToSchool content! Stay tuned for product and gift guides, tutorials from the Adafruit Learning System, and inspiration from around the web! Get started by checking out Adafruit’s educational resources, such as our kits and project packs, suggested products for young engineers, blog posts for educators and an extensive selection of books to help you learn!
This open source translator was built by a team at google. It is an experiment to build a fully offline translator.
All the parts are off the shelf and easy to find: a Raspberry Pi 5, portable battery pack, tiny touchscreen display, mini speaker, and micro keyboard with a knob to select languages. It’s all held together by custom 3D-printed housing.
We use LiteRT-LM to run Gemma (gemma4-e2b) on-device with a simple Python server to handle requests. All the translation knowledge is built right into the model, so no APIs or Wi-Fi are required. Both speech recognition and text-to-speech run on-device too, using Moonshine for ASR and Kokoro to turn Gemma’s output text into speech.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
