Restoring a game is accomplished by calling the '''[[restore.game]]''' command. The player is prompted to choose a directory, and one of the save games located in the directory. Unlike the [[Saving Games|save game]] list which shows all 12 slots, the restore games list only includes slots if a valid game file exists in the directory.

Restoring a game copies the game state, [[screen object]] table, [[inventory item]] data, [[script]] table and [[set.scan.start|scan start]] list from the saved game file into AGI's memory. [[Reserved variables]] [[v20 (computer type)]], [[v26 (monitor type)]], [[v22 (sound channel count)]] and [[reserved flags|reserved flag]] [[f11 (noise channel available)]] are restored to match current hardware capabilities.

AGI then steps through the [[script]] table, and performs the [[resource]] actions (loading, drawing, unloading, etc.). At this point, the AGI interpreter memory heap is now completely restored.

Reserved flag [[f12 (game restored)]] is set to TRUE. All [[Volume files|VOL]] files are closed (they will be re-opened as soon as the next [[resource]] is loaded).

All [[menu]] items are re-enabled (meaning you will need to re-disable any items that you want disabled), and AGI starts a new [[interpreter cycle]].
