I guess nobody thought it was possible.

Sierra released 13 games with their AGI engine:

1- King's Quest 1: The Quest for the Crown (1984)
2- King's Quest 2: Romancing the Throne (1985)
3- King's Quest 3: To Heir is Human (1986)
4- King's Quest 4: The Perils of Rosella (1988)
5- Space Quest 1: The Sarien Encounter (1986)
6- Space Quest 2: Vohauls Revenge (1987)
7- Leisure Suit Larry (1987)
8- Police Quest 1: In Pursuit of the Death Angel (1987)
9- The Black Cauldron (1986)
10- Gold Rush! (1989)
11- Manhunter 1: New York (1988)
12- Manhunter 2: San Francisco (1989)
13- Mixed-Up Mother Goose (1987)

The only one I did not adapt yet is "Mixed Up Mother Goose" because it is 
too childish. Sorry to disappoint you Roger, but there's no more game left 
but only some Sierra demos and fan made games.

Maybe "Space Quest 0: Replicated", a fan made game, would worth to be 
adapted for the coco. It is so well done that it looks like it was designed 
by Sierra. The challenge with this game will be to split the only VOL file 
it contains into several ones because it is over 1 meg.
