SCUMM of the Earth

"April 26, 2007 - This year marks the 20th anniversary of the SCUMM engine, the Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion, which powered most of the classic LucasArts graphic adventures. SCUMM streamlined the process for coding these intensive, epic games and greatly decreased their development times. IGN recently caught up with the man behind SCUMM, the Grumpy Gamer himself, Ron Gilbert."

No SCUMM For You!

"Steve Jobs has announced that the new iPhone will not allow 3rd Party applications in what this author can only assume is an outright attack on Monkey Island. I'm sure within the halls of Apple and littered in confidential internal memos this was referred to as the 'mProblem'. It's a shame that the rest of the software industry has to suffer just because they didn't want Monkey Island on the iPhone."
