ScummVM 0.6.0 Released With Freeware Bonus

Posted by simoniker on from the curse-you-indy dept.

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."

    CowboyNeal called when he got the word,
    And he said: "I suppose you've heard -
    About Taco".
    When I rushed to the window,
    And I looked outside,
    And I could hardly believe my eyes -
    As a big limousine rolled up
    Into Taco's drive...

    Oh, I don't know why he's leaving,
    Or where he's gonna go,
    I guess he's got his reasons,
    But I just don't want to know,
    'Cos for twenty-four years
    I've been living next door to Taco.
    Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
    To tell him how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
    Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Taco...

    We grew up together,
    Two kids in the park,
    We carved our initials,
    Deep in the bark,
    Me and Taco.
    Now he walks through the door,
    With his head held high,
    Just for a moment, I caught his eye,
    As a big limousine pulled slowly
    Out of Taco's drive.

    Oh, I don't know why he's leaving,
    Or where he's gonna go,
    I guess he's got his reasons,
    But I just don't want to know,
    'Cos for twenty-four years
    I've been living next door to Taco.
    Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
    To tell him how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
    Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Taco...

    And CowboyNeal called back and asked how I felt,
    And he said: "I know how to help -
    Get over Taco".
    He said: "Now Taco is gone,
    But I'm still here,
    You know I've been waiting
    For twenty-four years..."
    And a big limousine dissapeared...

    I don't know why he's leaving,
    Or where he's gonna go,
    I guess he's got his reasons,
    But I just don't want to know,
    'Cos for twenty-four years
    I've been living next door to Taco.
    Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
    To tell him how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
    But I'll never get used to not living next door to Taco...

    Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Taco..
