Well, I revisited scummvm today. I was curious yet whether or not Manic Mansion was playable using the current release. It wasn't. I guess I should have looked for an actual build instead of going for the most recent release. But oh well.
After failing to open Manic, I moved on to the next most recent one that I released. Winter Wonderland. Which it did open up all right. One thing I did notice however, no matter what midi options I chose I just couldn't get the music to play in scummvm. Fired it up with DosBox just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind and I tell you what, the music adds so much to that game. Without it, it is just boring. I caught myself playing it a bit and now it makes me want to talk about it some.
One thing about that game I don't think I ever mentioned, or at least don't remember saying, easy alt debugging is still intact.
puzzle 1 - room 4
puzzle 2 - room 3
puzzle 3 - room 2
Ending - room 5
Also, if you go into the source code for room 1, and change the picture number to 800, you could then teleport to room 1 and see the very beginnings of what I had started doing. This was going to be a series of mini games, not just a sliding tile puzzle collection. Room 1 was going to be matching snow flakes. Also you may notice some unused views in there, I was also planning on making a snowball fight bit...
Ok, trip down memory lane complete... and I am still going to stick with Dosbox for my SCI game playing needs.
