ok help me fediverse someone out there must be good at old point & click games:

i'm stuck on discworld 1 running on steam deck via scummvm, the bartender in the daytime keeps telling me i need money if i want to drink there no matter how many times i look at the counterwise wine. is this a known bug or is there some other trigger i'm missing?

#scummvm #discworld

✨ Rebel Assault I & II are railing to ScummVM 💫

One might ask how? Why? Well - though rail shooters - these games use SCUMM engine!

Of course more commonly used for point 'n' click adventure games yet it shares a large portion of code with Full Throttle (1995).

ScummVM is a convenient way to enjoy these ancient classics; ScummVM replaces executables (rewrite altogether and not an emulator) allowing playing them on systems never designed for.

Testing help requested.

ScummVM for the Analgoue Pocket (OpenFPGA) looks pretty cool. Anyone running it?

Here is another improvement for the game "Der Schatz im Silbersee" - using the newly merged hotspot feature in #scummvm

this is the demo version of the game btw.

@inguin nice! Das ist korrekt. #ScummVM ist aktuell recht aktiv, verteilt fleißig Informationen und landet entsprechend damit mitunter auch bei uns :)

The reimplementation of Der Schatz im Silbersee - a classic point and click adventure was just merged to scummvm

I'm also testing some enhancements like the scumm verb ui - can get activated via in-game menu.

Holy rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle, I'm in #monkeyisland! We'll, sort of. Even if @grumpygamer says it's just a coincidence. Lovely place though!

#rothenburgobdertauber #Germany #ScummVM

I'm heading out on vacation in a little bit. One of the stops along the way is #Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It's my first visit, but it's been on my mind for ages. Not only because one of my #YokoTsuno albums are set there, but also because it bears a remarkable resemblance to one of the scenes in the #pointandclick adventure #game #MonkeyIsland. The latter is supposedly a coincidence, according to @grumpygamer.

My nFM (https://framagit.org/nokturnal/nfm) OPL2/3 support library integration was merged into ScummVM codebase 🥳(PR waited in a que since April). It's not enabled on automated builds yet, but we are getting there. At some point it will be unlocked on other platforms (Windows / Linux etc..) as well. I can now refocus on integrations with other projects and improving nFM further. 🙃 #atari #scummvm #opl2 #opl3 #adlib #retrocomputing

ScummVM on track for striped patience!

ScummVM has officially wrapped up on Gamos’s Windows proprietary game engine.

The engine originally powered Pilot Brothers 1 & 2, launching the iconic adventure series before it later transitioned to qdEngine and NGI tech.

The engine was also widely used to build a wave of office time-killer games.

This engine adds support for 7 games!

Früher dachte ich immer dass die Hintergrundgeschichte des 1994er Point and Click-Adventure "Beneath a Steel Sky" mit Isaac Asimovs Romanen verbunden wäre.

Das war aber offensichtlich nur eine Fehlleistung meinerseits, da ich seinen Roman "Die Stahlhöhlen" und den Titel "Steel Sky" irgendwie miteinander vermischt oder verbunden habe.

Finde das Adventure aber trotzdem sehr stimmig und gelungen.
