ScummVM 0.5, the excellent SCUMM interpreter (Monkey's Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, etc) has been released. This is good news. Even better news is that the Beneath a Steel Sky developers assisted in this release, and even re-released BASS as freeware!
However, it appears I am out of practise in this form of point-and-click adventure game. After 10 minutes of not being able to do anything in the first room but die, I had to resort to a walk-through. Now I'm stuck again, Joey has the new welder shell but I can't get the key out of the store room. I'm determined not to use the walk-through again! I foolishly had a walk-through when I played Monkey Island for the first time, and instead of giving me weeks of fun I completed the game in a day, as I had a quick look whenever I was slightly stuck. I have learnt my lesson, and never again shall I repeat it.
