ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more.

I (Kojote) don’t feel well, therefor no news for the next one or two days. I really belong into bed and not in front of the PC. Maybe kedo will take over the news for those few hours. Thanks for your understanding!

As every human… even myself (Kojote) deserves some free days. The time has come and I will be without internet for full three weeks.

I can not check mails and I can not update news, simply I can not do anything because I will have no internet.

Unless kedo and celeth don’t post news from time to time, see you again in three weeks 🙂
