BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP! I've set off an alarm! Oh dear, he's not very happy with it, but he'll have to like it and lump it I'm afraid. this little robot shell should do the trick. Now I've managed to sneak down to the lower level and into a junk room, maybe I can find a body for Joey here. Phew, that was a close thing, I hid behind the door and the policeman thought I'd escaped, so he's stopped patrolling downstairs. maybe I should try this door? Oh no, it's locked! What about that railing over there? It looks a bit loose, maybe I could tear it off and use it to force the door open? Success! Oh no, now the policeman is coming up the stairs to find out what the noise is! Oh no, I've been shot! (click, click, click, restart) Right, I won't ask the very nasty policeman for anything this time. maybe I should walk down there and ask the nice policeman for directions.

The version used here was originally released on CD and comes with a full speech support for all the characters, as well as the usual MIDI background music.
Accompanying him on his journey is a small robot named Joey, who starts out life in the game as a printed circuit board for which Robert must find a body. You play the main character Robert Foster who finds himself caught up in a Blade Runner-esque dystopian future, with the slightly bizarre twist that the rich live underground while the poor are banished to the tops of massive skyscrapers (yes, I thought that was the wrong way round too). It's a British cyberpunk adventure in a style typical of the comic book 2000ad, with artwork by Dave Gibbons. Originally released in 1994 on DOS PCs and the Amiga, BASS received rave reviews. Hopefully these examples will give people new to adventure games an idea of how they're played and what they're about:

Here instead are two adventure games compatible with the ScummVM software which have been released into the public domain by their creators, and are freely downloadable by anyone from the official ScummVM web site. There are of course nefarious methods to obtain them through various shady web sites, but we here at AAS prefer sea-going pirates to the net-surfing kind, so we'll leave those dark avenues unexplored. We'd hoped to actually get hold of a copy of Monkey Island itself and use it on the E61, but alas it turns out that the original SCUMM-based games are relatively difficult to obtain legally as they've been out of print for many years. A few non-SCUMM adventure games will also work with ScummVM thanks to some enthusiastic co-operation from the games' creators. Any of Lucasfilm's SCUMM-based adventures can be run using ScummVM by transferring the game files from the game disks or CD onto the same device that ScummVM is installed on. Years after Lucasarts stopped making adventure games, an open source equivalent of the engine was created by fans and ported to virtually every major operating system under the sun, including Symbian, under the name ScummVM.

In honour of this auspicious occasion All About Symbian takes a look at the Symbian S60 version of ScummVM, which is an open source equivalent of SCUMM, the game engine used to write the most celebrated chronicles of buccaneering ever written: the Monkey Island games released on the PC during the early 1990s. Two Americans spotted the huge potential of Talking Like A Pirate and founded Talk Like A Pirate Day, which takes place every year on the 19th of September.

Of course it's much more convenient to just talk like a pirate, it saves all the nasty business of learning to sail, drinking blindness-inducing watered-down rum, and standing trial for murdering the aforementioned grog-spiller. On A Pirate Ship Somewhere In The Caribbean Circa 1686Īrrr! Does you use no other tense but the present tense? Is you awash with salty sea air and dreams of gold dubloons? When someone spills yer grog does you order the landlubber to be keelhauled? Then you be a pirate! Arrr! Now go and play ScummVM, and look smart about it! Now, where's me scrubbin' brush? I needs to clean some maggots out o'me wounded leg.
