From what I understand, TeenAgent is already fairly playable with the development version of ScummVM, and there's a Sanitarium engine which is not yet part of ScummVM. I have no idea how far it has progressed. Of course, there's no guarantee that in-progress engines will ever be finished, or even usable, but both of them seem to be actively worked on at the moment.

Ace Ventura (http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/ace-ventura)

I suggested Ace Ventura once. It would certainly be a good addition to ScummVM.

The truth is that support wont be added for any new game unless someone is found who is very dedicated to making it happen. They would probably have to spend years studying the original game's code and creating the engine.

As said above, assuming all goes to plan, you are in luck with Sanitarium and Teen Agent. You can even play some of Teen Agent already if you download a SVN build of ScummVM.

...some day it will become common for adventure game developer to release their source for free after some time resp. donate it to ScummVM, so the chance of them games becoming even more spread around the world of adventure lovers will rise exponentially...

...of course with those developers keeping the games on the shelves...

...it will become reality when i manage to get rid of that pink squirrels in my head...

There are so many threads with suggestions, and there are so many games being worth to be supported (the foremost are the Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes). But it is like with everything: if you want something to be supported, go ahead and do so.

Yeah awesome game ! But too gore, certainly one of these 'll never port on scummvm, but perhaps, someone, somwhere... XD
I thinks it's certainly because some administaive problem about sell copyrights or something like that.
One more time, perhaps in a far galaxy...

Yes! Yes! A thousand times, yes!

Time again for my medicine?

(Way off topic, except in the Holmsian sense: but has anybody except me noticed that the Baker Street sign-to-traffic pan early in the Sherlock Holmes movie is a close copy of the opening titles of the Grenada TV series? If only Jeremy Brett wasn't so dead.)
