Well, I've been around a lot longer than just 2008, but that's when this name dates me. (This is not because the SCUMM engine is drastically more complicated, but because we have to support several generations of it.)īottom line, adding support for a new family of games will always be quite a bit of work, even in the cases where we have the original source code to work with. Only one is more than 30,000 lines, and that's the SCUMM engine, which is nearing 100,000 lines. Most of the engines are less than 25,000 lines of text.
Measured that way, the "smallest" engine (not counting the still unfinished Kyrandia engine) is the Simon the Sorcerer engine, at close to 18,000 lines of text. That, of course, would include comments, blank lines, etc. One very crude way of counting would be to count the number of lines of text in the source code files for each of the engines. Maybe ScummVM will become the Mame of point and click games. I'm just a fan who misses these types of games and was just wondering if games like beavis and butthead were a possibility. also after you play it check one of the folders with a bunch of very small files in it.there are about 3 nice easter eggs from the developers.you can tell because the files are rather large.Slypie wrote:I know that, I don't come from a coders background so I don't know whats involved in porting things over. of course now you can probably find it on ebay. my only complaint was this game was everywhere in 1995 when it was released and in less than 5 years was nearly impossible to find.(this was before ebay) so I spent a few years looking for this game before I found it. anyway, the game is great and rather in depth which is surprising as you should suspect a beavis and butthead game to be rather dimwitted. One of my favorite being the scene in prison where they get kyler(the guy sitting on the bench with 'killer' written on his forehead) to go nuts and starts a riot. As well as music videos, and cutscenes that look just like an episode of beavis and butthead.
between the sometimes surprisingly complex puzzles there are games where you spit on people, shoot tennis balls at people, burn bugs, and play air guitar. For an adventure game this is perhaps the most entertaining one I have EVER played.
First off, I'm a huge fan of beavis and butthead and you really have to be to care for this game.
