Classic game becomes freeware

Recommended Posts

One of the best adventure games ever just became 100% free. It uses the SCUMM interface making it runnable in XP etc.

IMO adventure games doesnt become better than this but that's me smile_o.gif.

In addition they released their other classic Lure of the Temptress for free but that doesnt use SCUMM which makes it unsure compatibility wise.

That is indeed a great game. I think ive still got it on a floppy somewhere and played it again a year ago. Dark sorta retro futuristic setting and quite funny in a deadpan kind of way as i recall. Still fantastic old skool adventure smile_o.gif

Yep, know that one, lots of olden goldies there. (Though this is actual freeware)

Let me add that the SCUMM interface works for other games too. There's an unofficial Zak Mc Cracken sequel for instance.

I hope this sets an example to other game designers/publishers. Rather than let great treasure/art being left for dust they ensure that new gamers can take part of this. Abandonware as such shouldn't have to exist(since it isn't completlly legit).

What client of SCUMM do you use? (ie Linux or XP etc)

Check the support page for SCUMM (FAQ section).

F5 is for saving the game btw.
