It also has a new point-and-click inventory system. Grim Fandango can now be played with point and click control in all scenes, including the scenes where the camera shifts to close-up view. I've played ScummVM on Windows, Mac, Linux, BeOS, GP32, Dreamcast, Wii, and iPad and ResidualVM on Windows, Mac, and Linux.Ī programmer named Tobias Pfaff has released Grim Mouse, a modified ResidualVM and Grim Fandango so that the game can be played completely with point and click mouse control. I'm playing through Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers in ScummVM right now, and it works really well despite being WIP, and I played through Grim Fandango in ResidualVM before it received a stable release. I enjoy testing out engines as they're WIP, and there's often some times when the engines play straight through to completion long before they're added to a stable release. So much so that I actually prefer to play adventure games through these programs. I'm a huge fan of the 2D adventure game program ScummVM and it's sister project for 3D adventures, ResidualVM (and the sister project ScummVM-Misc which includes an engine for text adventures made with Inform) by extension. * Hundreds of puzzles to challenge both novice and veteran pirates.There's been quite a few threads about specific games in ScummVM and ResidualVM, but never one all-encompassing thread, so I figured I'd make one since ScummVM and ResidualVM are ever-evolving. * Dozens of lusciously rendered backgrounds! * An original, cinematic story full of drama, sociopathic parrots and a villain with a sinister agenda! * Fourth in the legendary Monkey Island series of graphic adventures! Shiver Me Timbers and Poke Me Other Eye Out if It Ain't Guybrush Threepwood's Next Big Adventure!

If I'd never picked up a sword, the grog-swilling pirates of the Tri-Island Area might be unthreatened by the forces of my gentrification and demonic heckfire. If only I'd chosen a different path, LeChuck might still be dead and the Ultimate Insult might have remained a mystery. I'd ignored recent events that should have been warning shots across the bow of my soul, from my wife's brush with death to the anti-pirate ramblings of an Australian gazillionaire.

Spitting the sand of Monkey Island from my mouth, I wondered if the life of a mighty pirate was all it was cracked up to be.
