SCUMM Month
From CLUG Wiki
April 2006 has been declared SCUMM month.
During this month, the bored members of #clug will entertain themselves with playing SCUMM games, using the SCUMMVM emulator.
Background
When LucasArts brought out their game wikipedia:Maniac Mansion, they wrote the Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion (SCUMM), which was a complex engine for creating games that required interaction between characters and objects in order to achieve goals. This engine was later used in such games as Loom, Day of the Tentacle, and the two Monkey Island games. SCUMMVM is an open source emulator for these games - if it has the data files, it can run the entire game
Games
SCUMMVM supports the following games which we're interested in playing, to recapture our youth:
- Flight of the Amazon Queen (debian package)
- Beneath a Steel Sky (debian package)
- Loom
- Day of the Tentacle
- The Curse of Monkey Island
- Escape from Monkey Island
