All the same, they are readily and easily ppGame capable so they were included in the collection for sake of completion. And though these two games were released in the "Windows-era" they are NOT quite 100% compatible with the hardware out there so your mileage may vary. Therefore these games are NOT supported by ScummVM - note: RESIDUAL, a sub-project of ScummVM, should address many issues in the future but it is still in development and far from complete. Note: Both Grim Fandango and Escape From Monkey Island (MI4) were created using the GrimE engine. Look for the shortcuts to accomplish this in the game's startmenu.
Additionally, with the included ScummVM Tools, some of the games can be compressed to about half their original size - this is especially helpful with systems that have limited storage space. So consequently it is easier to set up & use, has extremely good support for those games, has some nicer graphical and audio enhancements, and probably most importantly: circumvented copy protections. ScummVM was chosen to play the SCUMM-based games because, well, that's what it was designed for and that's what it's best at. The SCUMM games on this DVD require the ScummVM emulator and as such only the files required by ScummVM are contained herein.

And because they are ppGames, you know they'll install great on just about any Windows OS you prefer (XP, Vista, NT/2000, LastXP, LastV, etc.)
Now they have been complied onto a Mega-Game-Pack-style DVD - all as ppGames - so these classics of yesteryear can once again be easily & conveniently enjoyed (and obsessed upon) all over again. Most adventure games by LucasArts were lauded by critiques and fans alike, often winning awards in the process and developing a cult following. * Escape from Monkey Island (2000) - used GrimE engine not SCUMM * Grim Fandango (1998) - used GrimE engine not SCUMM * Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle (1993) * Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1992) * Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1991) * Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure (1989) * Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders (1988)

* Labyrinth (1986) - Did not use SCUMM and the only one never released to PC This is a complete list of LucasArts adventure games, from 1986 to 2000: For those people who own the original MS-DOS versions of the SCUMM games and have found that these no longer work on modern computers, it is possible, using the original data files, to play the games on modern platforms using the ScummVM interpreter. For example, in Maniac Mansion the player has control of a group of three kids with complementary skills and weaknesses, while in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis the player gets to play as both Indiana Jones and his partner, Sophia Hapgood.Ī special programming tool called the SCUMM engine was used to design all the games from Maniac Mansion to The Curse of Monkey Island, while the GrimE engine took over from Grim Fandango onwards. Another feature, used in several of the games, was to allow the player to control more than one character, often being able to switch between them at will. Their game design philosophy was that the player should never die or reach a complete dead-end, although there have been exceptions to the former (such as Maniac Mansion, both Indiana Jones games and one in The Secret of Monkey Island that can be considered an Easter egg).Ĭommon features between the games include in-joke references to both other LucasArts games and LucasFilm productions, including the number 1138, quotes such as the phrase "I have a bad feeling about this", as well as other running gags that spanned numerous games - Chuck the Plant and Sam & Max cameo appearances among them. Their style tended towards the humorous (often irreverent or slapstick humor), with a few exceptions.
Before concentrating almost exclusively on Star Wars titles, LucasArts was known for their point-and-click adventure games, nearly all of which received high scoring reviews at the time of their release.
