Hey guys, I haven't heard anyone mention using this emulator, so I'd like to mention it, and for some of you
introduce Scumm point and click adventure games.

Surely you've heard of the classic series by Lucas Arts, Monkey Island, starring the hilarious Guybrush Threepwood?
Let me tell you, if you've never played these games before and enjoy a good laugh, try them out. Comic book style,
beautifully animated point and click adventure games. Mystery, puzzles, comedy. They're like interactive books, and did I mention the majority of them have full vocals? The Rom sizes are also pretty small considering the amount of dialogue.

I use ScummVM as my emulator, and it just works, beautifully. Below are some screenshots, I highly recommend giving this emulator and games a shot.

Here's the link for the emulator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scummvm.scummvm

Here's a link to the needed plugins for various game compatibility: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=ScummVM

Here's a very handy link to the full game list, and list of needed rom files required per game: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles

You all know where to get the games. Thrift stores.

A few games installed and working 100%


A strange place to put the option, but check this box to enable direct touch which is awesome for these type of games.
Edit: After some testing, I prefer the default mouse movement, but try it out for yourselves.


Day of the Tentacle.


The Curse of Monkey Island.
Tips:
Double tap and hold for the Use/Talk/Examine menu.
Tap with two fingers to open your inventory.
Press and hold the JXD physical menu button for Keyboard shortcut.
Press the JXD physical back button to skip Scene.




Full Throttle.


Sam and Max


Hope you enjoy.

Hahaha, good one.

Umm are you sure that's the right box? AdLib and MIDI have nothing to do with input

yeah definitely a great addition. i have playedd and replayed and REPLAYed over and over most of lucasarts games, beautiful stuff. a must have.

and for those that didnt play grim fandango like me, they are making an emulator for it that im using and works great!. in the futureit will also play escape from monkey island (the 3d version) and myst 3.

also timber is correct, thats the box to enable touch, they just didnt want to waste time making it a separate box XD

Yeah I'm certain, you're correct it's in the wrong section, but this is where the documentation for the android port says it is, and it works like a charm, lol.

  Not only is it in the wrong section, it's labelled completely incorrectly. You would think the dev, if he knew about the issue, would fix it!

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was one of my first computer games. Man, that was a long time ago!

Haha me too. Before even we knew about running "mouse.com" to enable the mouse in dos games, so we played the whole thing moving the cursor with the keyboard. Made the Grail Temple seat-of-your-pants stuff

Got it in a double pack with Zak McRaken and the Alien Mind-benders

heh, its not about them not knowing, scummvm for android is a port of scummvm for the pc, its not polished but gets the job done, they intentionally made the midi box work for touchscreen cause making a new section and adding the box is a lot of work when they only need to port the engine, not modify it XD

No... it's just lazy. There's plenty of ways they could have put it somewhere that would make sense. In fact it probably would have taken more time to attach the code to that tickbox than it would to have done to add a separate tickbox under 'misc'.

ScummVM is a masterwork, as are many of the games. Good shout.

Not meaning to sound dumb here but am i right in thinking that you can normally get a few versions of each game.  I remember discworld being available which was much smaller in size and a bigger version available with speech.  Discworld 2 for example, does scumm run the full talkie version?

Yes scummvm runs full talkie, and honestly id rather have them spend more time making it run perfect, as it does, than polishing the looks
