Talk:SCUMM

message: Technically, Monkey Island VGA floppy and Loom CD are SCUMM v5 (as indicated by version strings in the executables). In reality, however, they are far closer to SCUMM v4, the same version used by Monkey Island EGA floppy (using DISK##.LEC files rather than GAMENAME.000/GAMENAME.001 files).
Also, some research has revealed that the NES version of Maniac Mansion uses a SCUMM version between v1 and v2 (in most cases, it is closer to v2).--Quietust 23:40, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Version numbers, technicalities 

message: The article says SCUMM has been ported for the DS. For what games? --Some guy 01:57, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This happened again by user Cassioli. SCUMM was never ported to SymbianOS, latter just didn't exist at that time. Moreover, even EscummVM is already gone and was merged into main ScummVM tree, i.e. the port became official. Current list of ports is complete to best of our knowledge, and we know even about game prototypes. --Sevua 18:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Humongous Entertainment Versions 

message: I'd like to see more expansion on the subject of references to the SCUMM engine in modern culture, as it has become part of the standard lexicon and remained so long after the software itself has become essentially obsolete.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Deer (talk • contribs) 13:49, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  In gaming culture 

message: Both the  tag and several images were just removed from this article with no rationale. I can't see why that is. The version history could easily be converted to prose (and should be) and the article is short of images in my opinion, not too full of them. Chris Cunningham (talk) 09:51, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to turn the list into prose, go ahead. A list, to me, makes more sense though. The images I removed because they fail the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. Garion96 (talk) 10:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Done. Much better. Chris Cunningham (talk) 11:36, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prose tag, images 

message: :Image:Loom.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Κaiba 18:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a lot of old stuff here, not relevant to the article anymore, but I don't know what the Wikipedia Policy is regarding the cleansing of old messages. Zorbid (talk) 16:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Old talk is usually archived, not deleted. It may be useful to editors who want to examine the rationale for old changes while looking through the article's history. If the page gets long enough that old discussion is interfering with it, I'll archive it. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 19:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed it, and expanded/reworded the section (as 81.240.208.234).
Puns were a signature of the adventure game developers at LucasFilm Games/ LucasArts at that time. They were to my knowledge among the pioneers of this kind of humor in computer games. It had AFAIK an impact on gaming culture, and it deserves a mention.Zorbid (talk) 16:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding the trivia tag in the in-jokes section... 

message: coding a game was so hardcore back then that devising a scripting method to ease development was considered a scam. can we see if sources support this for this naming?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.70.107.247 (talk) 01:33, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  the hardcore years of early games 

message: Interesting article about SCUMM. It details how SCUMM was originally developed on Sun machines, and later on PC (page 4 testing against NT) and how this affected development. -- 109.76.13.212 (talk) 00:26, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: Can someone add a version history of releases, including the most current up-to-date release please? Other projects such as Freeciv have such a nice overview on the top right side, scummvm seems to be missing one, on its wikipedia page. Perhaps one could even use a template for all open-source games, since I think that this is a recurring theme (if you don't know what I mean, just have a look at freeciv wikipedia page, then you understand). 2A02:8388:1600:A880:BE5F:F4FF:FECD:7CB2 (talk) 03:25, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The final release of SCUMM was 1998. The initial release of OS X was in 2001. Therefore, linking to the OS X page as a supported platform instead of Classic Mac OS is misleading at best. I'm sure it would have run under early OS X versions via Classic Environment, but it was never built for OS X.
I would edit this myself but that section is locked. 2600:6C5E:2100:1A02:F47B:D102:137:4D63 (talk) 14:42, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
