In late 1987, Sierra On-line released Space Quest II: Chapter II: Vohaul's Revenge, sequel to the previous year's very popular Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter. Written using their Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) engine, SQ2 would go on to sell over 100,000 copies, earning an SPA Gold Medal and seating itself as 4th in Sierra's top 5 best sellers.

In 1988, updates to the AGI engine prompted print runs of SQ2 versions 2.0D and 2.0F. Decades later, it would be discovered that the MS-DOS 720k floppies for those releases accidentally had a little hidden extra - about 70% of the source code files for the AGI engine itself.

There have been a few posts here on the blue in recent years celebrating some rising young music stars, Yoyoka Soma and Ellen Alaverdyan, to name two. Often, when we see talented young people like that, our first thought is "Hey, they should collaborate!". Well, our wish has been granted.

Kids Rock for Kids is an NYC-based non-profit helps young musicians use their talents to help kids in need. They've released the first video for their "Global Collaboration", bringing together an amazing collection of musicians from age 16 to age 9.
