ScummVM (01-09-2008) (PS3 Linux misc)

ScummVM is an implementation of the SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) engine used in various Lucas Arts games such as Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle. At this time ScummVM should be considered ALPHA software, as it’s still under heavy development. Be aware that while many games will work with few major bugs, crashes can happen. Also note that saved games can, and probably will, be incompatible between releases. Also ScummVM is capable of playing several non-SCUMM games.
