BENEATH A STEEL SKY SCUMMVM TRIAL

Years after Lucasarts stopped making adventure games, an open source equivalent of the engine was created by fans and ported to virtually every major operating system under the sun, including Symbian, under the name ScummVM. SCUMM was originally developed by Lucasfilm Games, now Lucasarts, as the basis for their hugely successful series of adventure game franchises including Maniac Mansion, Indiana Jones and of course Monkey Island. In honour of this auspicious occasion All About Symbian takes a look at the Symbian S60 version of ScummVM, which is an open source equivalent of SCUMM, the game engine used to write the most celebrated chronicles of buccaneering ever written: the Monkey Island games released on the PC during the early 1990s. Two Americans spotted the huge potential of Talking Like A Pirate and founded Talk Like A Pirate Day, which takes place every year on the 19th of September.

On A Pirate Ship Somewhere In The Caribbean Circa 1686Īrrr! Does you use no other tense but the present tense? Is you awash with salty sea air and dreams of gold dubloons? When someone spills yer grog does you order the landlubber to be keelhauled? Then you be a pirate! Arrr! Now go and play ScummVM, and look smart about it! Now, where's me scrubbin' brush? I needs to clean some maggots out o'me wounded leg.
