Did I miss it, or did they neglect to say what "SCI" stands for?

  SCI was Sierra On-Line's third language for writing adventure games. According to the ScummVM wiki, the name stood for both "Script Code Interpreter" and "Sierra's Creative Interpreter". It was preceded by ADL (Adventure Development Language, which did simple text adventures with graphics) and AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter, which did the same sort of thing as SCI, but lower resolution.) https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Sierra https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Sierra if you want more details.

    So in other words, Sierra's equivalent to Lucas Arts' SCUMM - the namesake for ScummVM.
