• ScummVM 1.5.0 “Picnic Basket” Released

    PS3 Hacks, Uncategorized , 27.07.2012

     

    ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed.

    ScummVM supports many adventure games, including LucasArts SCUMM games (such as Monkey Island 1-3, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, …), many of Sierra’s AGI and SCI games (such as King’s Quest 1-6, Space Quest 1-5, …), Discworld 1 and 2, Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Beneath A Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Broken Sword 1 and 2, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Gobliiins 1-3, The Legend of Kyrandia 1-3, many of Humongous Entertainment’s children’s SCUMM games (including Freddi Fish and Putt Putt games) and many more.

    Little Red Riding Hood looking over at her grandmother’s latest install of ScummVM, noting the update to version 1.5.0 and asked “My what a lot of games you now support”. “All the better to entertain you with my dear!” responded the curiously grinning relative.

    We all love to feast on the most sumptuous of gaming titles and our latest release will fulfil your craving for even more classic point and click adventures.

    Version 1.5.0 adds support for Once Upon A Time: Little Red Riding Hood and the following titles:

    Backyard Baseball 2003
    Blue Force
    Darby the Dragon
    Dreamweb
    Geisha
    Gregory and the Hot Air Balloon
    Magic Tales: Liam Finds a Story
    Sleeping Cub’s Test of Courage
    Soltys
    The Princess and the Crab

    As always, there are many more new features; you can find the full list in our release notes and the release itself on our downloads page.

    Enjoy and hopefully you won’t find the big bad wolf who is sure to give you a byte!

      Good to see PS3Hax reporting PS3 emulation news. Seems like you guys missed the recent ps3 emulators that were released. PC emulation news was more important on that day.

      Great emulator, for good games, i really apreciate it, but...
      No move (controller) support in PS3

      So no fun for me, i will keep waiting to play these games because can be done (im not talking about "eskiss", this is not REAL move support)
