A Bit of Welcomed Scumm on Your Linux Machine

,----[ Quote ]
| This might make me sound like an old fogey, but I 
| really do miss the old games like Space Quest, 
| The Curse of Monkey Island and Return to Zork. 
| The problem isn't that I don't have the games 
| anymore, but rather that they were designed for 
| my 386 computer running DOS. Thankfully, I'm not 
| alone in my fits of nostalgia. The developers 
| over at www.scummvm.org have reproduced the 
| âScript Creation Utility for Maniac Mansionâ 
| developed by Lucas Arts and packaged it into a 
| virtual machine (thus, ScummVM). That virtual 
| machine is open source and available for just 
| about any platform you can imagine.
