ScummVM

Good news for fans of good old computer games, the first final version of the ScummVM virtual machine has been released.

More under the cut.



Scumm is a programming language developed by LucasArts specifically for its famous quests. It was on it that the beloved Full Throttle , the classic parts of Monkey Island and Broken Sword were written, as well as many, many more equally excellent games.

But back to our virtual machine. It is, of course, cross-platform, so not only the user of any modern OS, but also the owners of consoles will be able to enjoy the classics, ports on PS2 , PSP , Nintendo DS are also made.

ScummVM is an independently written alternative to the part of the game program code that interprets the scripting languages ​​used to describe the game world in such games, rather than emulating the hardware of the machine on which the games were started. ©

The introduction is finished, let's move on to the most interesting - to the games. At the moment, the virtual machine supports 116 games, which, of course, is not the limit, work on porting the classics does not stop.

I would single out the following games: The Secret of Monkey Island , Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge , Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis , Sam & Max Hit the Road , Full Throttle (by LucasArts) and the Simon the Sorcerer series, Gobliiins You remember the pirated discs of 100+ games that rarely did without the quests about goblins), Broken Sword , Flight of the Amazon Queen , The Legend of Kyrandia , The 7th Guest (from other developers).
