What is a .D$$ file?
The .D$$ file extension is associated with a specific type of game file known as an AGT Game Encrypted Message File. These files are used by a program called AGiliTY, which is an interpreter for Adventure Game Toolkit (AGT) games. Essentially, these files contain secret messages that are used within the games created with AGT. During the game, as you play, these encrypted messages are revealed to you as part of the gameplay.
AGT games are interactive stories where you, the player, type in commands to make choices and navigate through a narrative, much like you're the main character in a "choose-your-own-adventure" book. To play these games on modern computers, interpreters like AGiliTY are used. These interpreters act like the older computers from the 1980s and 1990s, allowing you to run and play AGT games on your current device.
AGT games are made up of many different files that hold various parts of the game's data, such as titles (.TTL), instructions (.INS), and sounds (.VOC). To make managing these files easier, and to improve the game's performance by reducing its size and loading times, all these files can be combined into a single file with the extension .AGX. This is done using a tool called AGT2AGX, which is included with the AGiliTY program. This process not only makes the game smaller by over 100K but also makes it quicker to load and simplifies the game's file structure.
To open a .D$$ file, you would need to use the AGiliTY program, as it's specifically designed to interpret and run AGT games, including reading and decrypting the .D$$ files during gameplay.
