Guess what ? I had a lot of fun playing the 4th opus, even though it was 3D. I am a fervent advocate of 2D point-and-click, but I liked it very much. The Monkey Island spirit tanscended all graphical differences.

I voted fot op. 4 also.

Adventureguy: I was the one talking about it, and I am not part of the ScummVM dev team. I'm just a professional and hobbyist developer. I just said that I disassembled a little Runaway.exe, and touched the point that they were using Bink videos. After that, I got a little too carried away about the...

Ok, thanks

4) add support for 16-bit graphics. (There has been some thoughts about that already.) Does this means that ScummVm works in palettized 8-bit mode? (Sorry, I did not look at the ScummVm code yet, re-implementation of the Runaway engine can also be an independant project) I was actually more concern...

If anyone hypothetically were to: 1) extract the bink videos from the resource files, 2) convert these bink videos into mpegs. 3) make the ScummVm Ru...
