• How ScummVM is keeping adventure games alive, one old game at a time - 22 December 2017

  Retrogaming, or for us older folks, ‘replaying modern classics’, has never been bigger. Part of the joy of being a PC gamer is that no matter how many years tick past and new games fight for attention, we can always go back in our virtual time machine and re-explore the games that made gaming, like Doom, and the ones that have arguably yet to be beaten, like Monkey Island.

The latter's verb-object interface revolutionised the adventure game genre, and has influenced countless popular games since.  Earlier this year, Rick Lane explored the history of Maniac's central and ground-breaking mechanic and how it changed the landscape of videogames. Here's an extract from that: It’s a remarkable bit of systemic sleight…
