ScummVM: it's a kind of emulator for some games based on Scumm system developed in LucasArts graphic adventures originally, and used for other games like Beneath a Steel Sky, Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle...etc

This games, don't work usually in Windows XP systems, but with this emulator, you can execute on Windows XP fine...

Your need have 3 things:

you can enter as many apps in the contest as you want :)

shed, if you feel like it, it might be nice to give people a link to scummvm and talk a little bit about what scummvm is and how its used, and what the front end adds, etc.

<3 ScummVM  :-*

I wouldn't call it an emulator though, it's more like a "lucasarts custom game format player" - they have their own virtual machine/scripting language. Quite impressive, considering just how old some of their early adventure games are!

If i show you my Tic Tac Toe implementation in a Olivetti-M20 machine...that's older and antique stuff ;D

The problem is that this machine "died" some years ago (but don't have HD... and something like CGA graphic cards not invented neither....

anyway...make this hit at early age (12 years old) something that career people still don't know how code ....it's a reason to be peacefully in my mind ...heehhe

really i'm so OLD???!?....let me take a view to mirror....
