I was wondering whether it would be possible to take the uncensored David Crane scene from the floppy disk version of Dreamweb and implement it into the censored CD version. It kinda sucks that the best scene in the game has been butchered (and in doing so, made non-sensible) in an otherwise definitive edition.
I don't know the practicalities of achieving such a modification through ScummVM or whether it would be feasible to implement such a change, but it would be lovely to see a toggle option in the ScummVM menu for the CD version of Dreamweb.
A suggestion for SCUMMVM (Dreamweb)

I thought only the US CD version was censored, not the UK CD version? Or maybe I'm thinking of a different scene in the game.St_Eddie wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 10:41 am I was wondering whether it would be possible to take the uncensored David Crane scene from the floppy disk version of Dreamweb and implement it into the censored CD version.

Perhaps there's a CD version which isn't readily available on the web (considering that the game is freeware), I need to do some testing, I guess. I'm a Brit myself and I think that I have a copy of the game somewhere, so perhaps I ought to try ripping the CD data directly.

It's the scene with the assassination of the guy having sex with the woman. In the censored version, she's wearing a bra and he's wearing boxers... which makes zero sense considering that they were both doing the funky monkey and the cut especially ruins the gag of the fella quickly grabbing a pillow in order to cover his privates. In the uncensored version he's Big Billy Bollocks naked.
