We're back with GOG.com Affiliate Spotlight, where we're highlighting the sites that are among our affiliates and help us spread the good word about GOG.com.

This time the spotlight is on [url=http://www.scummvm.org/]ScummVM and its creators. What is ScummVM? Quoting the project's homepage: "ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!". The program was originally designed to play LucasArts' adventure games that used SCUMM system, but it evolved through the years and now allows to play lots of other games on platforms other than those on which they were originally designed for.

We managed to ask couple questions to the two main guys taking care of ScummVM at the moment - Max Horn and Eugene Sandulenko.

Great article! And a big thanks to all the developers that continuously support this superb piece of software. I managed to play a lot of games that I would have missed otherwise thanks to it.

I hope to see more adventure games on GOG in the near future!

Good stuff ! I also wanted to thank everyone who put work into Scumm VM. I'm a software developer myself and have huge respect for the effort that goes into this project.

I love this kind of article. Internet without community is nothing.
Great work ScummVM team.

This could be a hint towards Lucasfilm Games/Lucasarts as the new "Big Publisher". Of course, this could also be my wishful thinking ....

Edit: Oh, and it was a very good and interesting article!

That's what I think every time I read an article at GOG. Sure, most of them are totally unrelated to LucasArts, but at some point all this wishful thinking must work!

Great article. I do hope that more of these unsung heroes of gaming get recognized and are properly lauded for their outstanding work.

Thank you gentlemen. (an understatement, I know.)

SCUMMVM! Where would we be without it? I'll make a point of reading this a bit later but my brain isn't up for processing much right now.

"Recently we acquired source code for several games, including Hugo trilogy and Dreamweb"

YES, HUNDREDS OF TIMES YES!

DREAMWEB, the best adventure game ever made, please let it happen
