Re-animating classic games with ScummVM

Author(s):

The SCUMM engine is the basis of almost all the classic

adventure games by Lukasfilm Games/LukasArts.

Now fans can launch these game on Linux thanks to

ScummVM.

The SCUMM (“Script Creation Utility

for Maniac Mansion”) adventure

engine was developed by

Ron Gilbert for Maniac Mansion, a game

renamed LukasArts, made continual

improvements to the engine and used it

for a whole series of classic adventure

games.

“Point & Click Adventure.”
