Wait, how? What is the background technology? I need more explanation. Is this a tool to recompile these games?

AGI is here and its first task is obviously completing the C64’s game library.

Not really. AGI is a game interpreter, like LucasArts’ SCUMM or Infocom’s z machine. Games are shipped as portable code and a machine specific AGI interpreter runs them. Looks like they’re preprocessing the graphics first, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Game_Interpreter
