As far as I remember, the CD version doesn't add anything to the game, does it?

Thanks balpat. I've never considered playing any of the Sierra AGI games on Amiga. You mentioned that the color palette is better on Amiga than PC -- does this mean those AGI games have more than 16 colors? No, not more color just better used colors. Faces for example have a lighter red and some of...

I'm afraid it's not Outlaws but "Desperados" (another cool game).

Both posters before mine are partially wrong, I believe. First, there are indeed versions that are superior in the Amiga platform. In my opening post I mentioned a few examples ("Personal Nightmare" for example) - even if my "Future Wars" example has been partially corrected by L...

Thanks a lot! KQ3 is a great game and with a new interface and nicer graphics it might be even greater.

Now if only it was playable in ScummVM (because auf the 2xSAI scaler)!

Amiga Versions that are superior?

Hey everyone! Sorry, if this topic came up before. A quick search showed nothing similar. ScummVM does support quite a few Amiga Versions. Being an Amiga user I have quite a few games left from that era - including some that I haven't found as PC versions (yet). But then I thought: Hey, some of thes...

I always used a CM-32L (which is basically a MT-32 minus the display but adding some - mostly unused - noise channels). It sounds awesome. Of course, having the music recorded by a live orchestra is even better but those Roland-devices sounded almost like an entire orchestra. I even think their &quo...

Oh! Pretty! What game(s) are those? First, let me begin by saying that adding support for Sierra-games might just be about one of the greatest things that ScummVM did. I even think ScummVM gets to a point where calling it just "ScummVM" just doesn't do this great program justice. Personall...

If I'm not mistaken, the Win-version doesn't support MT32 but everything else is the same.

Would "1" be a valid integer? ;)

I must confess though, that I'm not such a big fan of the Humongous games... :)

Thanks for your replies! Interresting... Would it be possible to have a page that lists all scummvm-internal cheats? A follow up question, if you allow: Judging by the "var" debugging thingy it looks to me like this is a variable in Elvira that has the HP-information. Now I'm just guessing...

I think THE DIG is one of Lucas Arts most athmospheric games. Granted, it is kinda slow but the pace fits perfectly. Everything is dead at first and bit after bit the strange alien world becomes alive again - and at that point the story's pace takes on as well. Complete with beautiful artwork (some ...

Implementing Cheats?

Hi! I'm a big fan of ScummVM and I've been using it since the time even SCUMM-Games didn't work competely. I have a (probably stupid) question: Would it be possible to implement cheats? Now hear me out! I know that you might ask how you're supposed to cheat in an adventure game. Well, there are a fe...
