Seeing double 21 May, 2006 / Comments: 11

By Gabez


It seems that some bright spark called Neil Millstone has ported ScummVM to the Nintendo dual-screen thingamy. You can see a video of Sam & Max working on the device here, and you can download the port here. Apparently the touch screen part can be used to move the pointer in the game, which is pretty cool.

Update: Oops, this is actually old news, though I'm at least the Sam & Max video is new. (Thanks Haggis!)

And speaking of Sam & Max: if you don?t already, you should really read the Telltale blogs. There?s a good one about reactions to the new game (apparently some people didn?t already know about it!) as well as a report from e3, showing off some awesome looking posters.

    I've been considering doing this instead of getting new DS games. I've been waiting for some good adventure games for the DS, because it seems like the stylis is practically made for that kind of game, but so far I haven't really found anything on the DS the get anywhere near the greatness of the old LEC adventures.

    I mean, why fool around with mediocre DS games, when I can just load the real deal. That's kind of how I feel about it.

    Sorry, Off topic:

    I saw this news, and it reminded me of MI, and if you added a little MI music, and a little MI story, you would have a great MI game?? :)

    "Anvil is my favorite city - Clara Cafasso did such a fantastic job. It makes me feel like I'm in the middle of a Monkey Island game (one of my personal favorite games). I regret that we didn't put a quest for the top of the lighthouse - perhaps a modder can remedy that."

    Great, I've got Foreigner's Double Vision stuck in my head now, but given the circumstances, I'd say it's well worth it.

    At the risk of being lynched, I will say this:

    The PSP does a much better job of running ScummVM.

    I'm sure it's infinitely easier to set up, but hey you can actually point 'n click on the DS!

    It actually isn't that much easier to set up, but the frame rate is flawless. Point 'n click would be nice, though.

    But thanks for mentioning me anyway. :D
