ScummVM 0.10.0 released
by Brad Linder Jun 25th 2007
ScummVM has hit its first double digit (but still beta) release. ScummVM started out as a game engine capable of running old LucasArts games built for the Scumm engine. Over the last few years, it's transformed over the years into a cross-platform system for running dozens of classic video games, including some early Sierra Adventure games.Version 0.10.0 is available for OS X, Linux, Windows, Windows mobile, the Nintendo DS, and a bunch of other operating systems/platforms. Updates include:
- Support for Future Wars
- Support for Gobliins 2
- Support for Gobliins 3
- Support for Ween: The Prophecy
- Support for Bargon Attack
- Support for Nippon Safes
- Support for Sierra AGI games including the early Kings Quest, Police Quest, and Space Quest titles
Remember, most of these games are still protected by copyrights, and it's only legal to play them if you own the original disks. A few adventure games have been released for free, and can be downloaded from the ScummVM downloads page.
