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."

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?
