Future Wars PC CD-ROM

Hi,

As some people might know, some (Amiga) versions of Future Wars and Operation Stealth were bundled with an OST arranged by Bruno Ribera (renowned French jazzman and pop arranger). Both OSTs were also sold separately for a limited time.

Anyway, there's a Wikipedia article about the existence of a late CD-ROM version of Future Wars, which would apparently include the OST tracks instead of the AdLib/MT-32 original music by Jean Baudlot. This CD-ROM edition would have been released by Sony (in the US?). I find this information very odd. Is the ScummVM team aware of such a version? Does anyone know something about it?

FI, we dug a bit further and found out there was indeed a US version of this game released on CD-ROM. It indeed contains the arranged OST by Bruno Ribera, but it's not clear whether those tracks are used ingame or not. It sounds unlikely -- there's not even a mention of the CD tracks on the back cover of the CD-ROM box.

On a related note, there was a VGA version of Operation Stealth (bundled with the OST CD). Is the VGA version going to be supported by ScummVM?

The VGA version is already supported, as far as support goes for these games.

Future Wars (Floppy VGA) is supported?!
In SVN or in stable version? Whay it does not appear in the compatibility list??

The "Cine" engine is in SVN, but it's disabled by default so you'd probably have to compile ScummVM yourself to try it. (It's rather glitchy.)
