ScummVM 0.6.0 Released With Freeware Bonus
busfahrer writes "The ScummVM team has announced the release of version 0.6.0 of their famous SCUMM Interpreter. It allows you to play your old LucasArts adventures on non-MS systems and/or recent hardware, and requires the original media to play. This release marks a milestone in the history of ScummVM because as of now, all SCUMM-based games created by LucasArts are now supported by the engine. Together with this release, they announce the release of the rather old, but fun adventure Flight Of The Amazon Queen as ScummVM-compatible 'freeware', having got permission from the original creators."
A few quick searches, now and in the past, have only ever shown one SCUMM authoring system, called SCRAMM. But the link to SCRAMM is dead and gone.
Anyone know of a (preferably OSS) authoring system for SCUMM? As SCUMMVM gets more mature, this gets more interesting.
The living have better things to do than to continue hating the dead.
OMG, I have seen article about this game more than 10 years ago, in polish gaming magazine... And IIRC game was available for Atari ST, and I had just Atari 800XL. I remember amazing screenshots, and interesting review... Now I will play it, to finnally see what is this game :)
Seeing that they use a lot of hacks to various games to make them work, I'd guess they are trying clean up the interpreter.
OTOH, maybe the original games were using a lot of hacks too. I don't think there is official documentation of the SCUMM bytecode floating around anywhere. Is there?
