Todays games have all awesome graphics & sounds. But personally, i “insist” on saying that older games were “better”. Maybe on graphics, but “Game Play” is much much better i think. I was used to play the “adventure games” more often. I’m sure you remember them. Great cartoon graphics, puzzles waiting to be solved and dialogues in the game were forcing us to “think” while playing. Ofcourse dont forget the bottom menu with “pull, push, talk, pick, use etc.. “

When i think of the best adventure games, i remember these names : Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, Maniac Mansion, Indiana Jones and Monkey Island. Some of these games were being played on Amiga too. Ofcourse there are many great adventure games except these but these games were based on the same engine. And what ScummVM does is running this engine on your computer. So, you play play these games without a problem with ScummVM.

So, you want to spend your hours on these games “again” . What do you have to do now?
