Widen the net so it's not just Monkey Island games. LucasArts classics only

This was all over Facebook last week or so. I assumed it had made its way here, but maybe not. Apparently they got permission from the original artist (or maybe it was just that the original artist was cool with it being included after the fact, I forget which). Either way, apparently everyone involved was OK with it. So it's a deep cut for fans... or Rare can't tell fan-made materials from the real deal 😬 (Also, at the risk of being pedantic: Fans tend to forget that Disney automatically owns the copyright on all derivative works and so can do whatever the hell they want with them. Such is copyright law...)

https://bossfightbooks.com/products/day-of-the-tentacle-by-bob-mackey I'm so interested in this book... but it costs more to ship to the UK than it does to buy! If anyone has any luck finding a place to buy it for reasonable costs on this side of the Atlantic, do share. (The best I've been able to find is Amazon Belgium for some reason: https://www.amazon.com.be/-/en/Bob-Mackey/dp/1940535336?language=en_GB).

I think it means an attempt to read data from other apps, which wouldn’t really apply. Separately: There are comic book readers that allow the user to upload comic book files to their devices, so I don’t think it’s the file handling by itself. It’s probably very much the “changes features or functionality” but. Thinking about it, I suppose they don’t want people creating a piece of wrapper software to execute other software that hasn’t been assessed for content. I don’t know. Maybe we’ll all learn from this process!

Touché

Precisely. Arguing the point with Apple is likely to be fruitless. Unfortunately. They just don’t want to touch anything that might even slightly infringe on copyright. The way they see it: Does this app allow you download games from the internet and play them on a system they weren’t designed for? Yep. For all intents and purposes this is the definition of an emulator to most people, and the functionality to the end user is ultimately the same: I can play game X on system Y. If Apple DO say no, ScummVM’s best bet might to be a version that includes only the games that can be legally distributed, without any way to add more. Just shut off that functionality? (Emulators on iOS have done the same, and then tried to sneak in this “add a game”functionality later, but they’ve always been caught by Apple.) Either way, best of luck to ScummVM! I’d certainly love ScummVM on the App Store! (Beats trying to compile it manually — which I’ve done before and contributed to the documentation as well.) I really hope I’m wrong about all this. As Thrik said, the issue isn’t that ScummVM is an emulator (which it isn’t), the issue is that Apple doesn’t allow emulators because of their functionality. And it’s likely Apple will view ScummVM ij the same light… even though the clue is in the name that it isn’t actually an emulator. They’re just deathly allergic to anything even tangential to emulation Of course, I hope I’m wrong 🤞🤞

I don't think Apple bothers to split hairs, unfortunately.

So ScummVM is finally coming to iOS/iPad OS apparently: https://www.scummvm.org/news/20230907/ But as far as I can tell, Apple hasn't changed any of its guidelines around not allowing emulators on the App Store, and when questioned about it, Sev seemed a little surprised that it might be an issue. Time will tell!

I haven't watched it, but I've always wondered what he thought about the "Hal Barwood on Monkey 2" thing. (Although, actually, I'm pretty sure I asked him years ago - now that I think about it - and he said he thought it was because he had a tendency to give aphorisms about things. Why they made them so negative, I don't know!)

Bad show! If I'd been giving it my full attention, it would have been fine. Eep ook ack! I failed at #Mojole #534. 💛💛💛💛💛🖤 🖤🖤🖤💛🖤🖤 🖤💛🖤💛🖤🖤 🖤🖤💚🖤🖤🖤 💚💛💚🖤🖤💚 💚💚💚🖤🖤💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Interesting. I wonder if that version of the script will ever get leaked.

Oh wow. It's been so long since I played with Behind the Magic. I always loved that thing... (although I bet every detail is totally wrong now 😅). I always thought it was interesting that Gary Kurtz was royally snubbed in the database. The guy was involved with all the best Lucas directed films.

If you haven't played it, the Case of the Golden Idol is supremely enjoyable and has similar inductive reasoning puzzles.

Guest Dr Venom looks exactly how I remember MI2 on my CRT monitor back in the day ❤️

Neither did I. It's kind of mind-blowing after all these years, and I'm still a bit skeptical!

I knew this, but reading about it in more detail is really quite interesting. I've always thought that Last Crusade's interface was one of the major barriers to the game's general enjoyment (that and the random dialogue puzzles). The idea that it could be made to behave like Monkey Island EGA's vastly superior interface is intriguing.
