ScummVM 1.1.0 "Beta Quadrant" Released

ScummVM, the program that lets you run 2D point and click adventure games (such as most LucasArts, Revolution, Adventure Soft, early Sierra etc.) on modern operating systems and game consoles, has been updated again.

ScummVM can now be played on the Nintendo 64, and it supports higher resolution graphics for games on those platforms that support it (16-bit resolution to be precise).  Because of the 16-bit support, a whole bunch of Humongous Entertainment children's titles have been added.  Even better, two new games that are completely free to download have been added: Dragon History and Teenagent.

Dragon History Now Has Free, Open-Source ScummVM Support

Dragon History is a freeware open source adventure game that was the first Czech game to be released on CD-ROM when it was a commercial title. This summer a student participating in the Google Summer of Code adapted the game to ScummVM. Today, after some fine tuning by the student, the ScummVM team, and one of the original programmers of Dragon History, the game is officially compatible with ScummVM. So grab a daily build of ScummVM and head over to the Dragon History website and pick up the game in English, Czech, or Polish, and try out the game on any one of the dozens of platforms to which ScummVM has been ported completely for free!
