MarcusLeCoy Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Remember those old good LucasArts games? Full Throttle, Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, Sam & Max, etc.? Those games are too old to run on modern day computers, but with this handy little program, you can play them again (provided you still have the discs). http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/ I was so excited when I loaded up Sam & Max and seeing the mad scientist guy starting to talk. "YEEEAAAH!!!". The program itself was made in 2001 or something, but it runs smoothly. Compatable Games: http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/compatibility.php I apologize if this has been posted before or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightsaberboy Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Yeah, I dled that program when I downloaded some good 'ol freeware adventure games like "Beneath a Steel Sky" and "Flight of the Amazon Queen", both of which you can dl here for free! And they're good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I love ScummVM because it works on damn near anything, PC, Mac, Linux, it even runs on the god damn Dreamcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I STILL can't believe LA hasn't released all those scumm games on the DS. Heck, they could even make a deal with the scummvm guys, whack 2 games on each cartridge.. very little expense and instant profit. Those games are MADE to be played on the DS. Muppets. I used to have a scummVM port on my GP32 a couple of years back. (GBA style korean handheld good for homebrew and emulators) and Day of the Tentacle LOOKED awesome on a small, high res screen.. sounded awesome too. Could have been a modern day game infact. *misses his gp32* I really need to get a DS lite.. shame they aren't so hot for homebrew.. i guess i could try it on my GBA Micro or my Xbox.. but i dont think the controls would be suited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've used ScummVm for a few years now, there are a few bugs here and there and total compatibility for even one of the games has yet to be established, it still however is in my opinion the best way to run your old Scumm based games (or Sierra adventures if you're a pothead).
