Paladin is a “Telengard” style game by s0c7 for the Atari 2600.

Changes:

– Bugs (probably). I haven’t had much time to playtest this. Please report any you may find.
– Hitting fire in a non-combat situation will bring up the magic menu (assuming you have enough spell points). Note: The only place this won’t work is in the up/down stairways. Only the healing spells will be available.
– The stop time spell works now. Time will stop for up to 3 of your turns (you will get 3 turns before the monster fights back). If you select evade, you will automatically evade him. If you attack him, you will always land a hit. The monster is frozen for that time period. If you evade or kill the monster before the 3 turns is up time will return to normal.
– Changed the sprite color slightly when you are on the magic menu. Trying to make it just different enough to notice without being distracting.
– Added a attack posture for the monsters. Basically they move their arms or whatever. Just putting it in place for later. I’ll be switching over to espire8’s graphics once the core game is complete.

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. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.

Among the systems on which you can play those games are Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2, SymbianOS/EPOC and many more…

This is the same as v0.9.1a beta3, with the exception of the bug with the ScummVM cursor introduced with v0.9.1a beta3, but now fixed in v0.9.1a.
