ScummVM: What is it?
Volomon \| 4:37 PM on 10.24.2007	6 comments

Since Tim Schafer's new game is coming out Brutal Legends I've been meaning to go back and try Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle. Believe it or not I had no idea of Tim Schafer's pedigree except for Pychonauts. Now I realize the talent and creativity behind some of the games from Lucas Arts.

So what is ScummVM?

As quoted from the site:
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 games, 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.

Check out ScummVM and check out Day of the Tentacle as well as Full Throttle.

I don't get it, I don't get it, I...don't...get it.

I always wondered what this was. Never wanted to ask though.
