Fancy a good Coktel with Doralice?

You're Doralice, the cutest airline captain of the Paris-Miami flight. During your last trip, a dying passenger asked you to deliver top secret vials. Will you succeed in your mission, avoiding deadly traps and solving every mystery?

Currently, the PC versions of Fascination are missing an AdLib player, but everything else is there. Please note that the CD version requires some manipulations and the ScummVM tools to extract the required files.

Get the latest daily build of ScummVM and your version of the game and give Fascination a try! Please post any bugs and unrecognized versions you can find to our bug tracker, following the bug submission guidelines.

And if you find interesting sights, be sure to submit your screenshots.

SCI Pre-Release Testing

It's been only six years and a few months since CABAL was jokingly announced, and now the first round of Sierra's SCI games is going to be supported in ScummVM!

However, we need your help in testing the SCI games. That's right, you, the loyal ScummVM user. Go grab your DOS or Windows SCI game (that is on this list) and play through it with a ScummVM daily build. As you play through the game, try not to die too much, save often, and note down any bugs that you find so you can report them on the bug tracker. Please do not report bugs on non-PC versions of SCI games; they are not supported yet.

When you've finished going through a game, go report it on the forums. If you feel up to the challenge, move on to your next SCI game! And if you're really feeling the Sierra vibe, go test all your SCI games that are up for testing!

Even if you don't have any SCI games, you can still help out. There are many SCI demos (only choose those on the supported demo list) and fan games out there that are waiting for you to test them.

ScummVM 1.1.1 "Better version" released

nospam@scummvm.org (Fingolfin) — Sun, 02 May 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Only four weeks since our last release and already ScummVM 1.1.1 is available on our downloads page.

This release concentrates primarily on fixing bugs, bugs, and even more bugs. As such, we strongly recommend all and every ScummVM user to update to this latest and greatest version. In particular, just as promised we fixed the issues affecting Nippon Safes Inc and Pajama Sam 1 in 1.1.0.

Take a look at the release notes if you want to know a bit more.

And don't forget to visit our downloads page to get the best ScummVM ever!

All hail new students!

Google recently announced the list of students for this year's Summer of Code program.

For ScummVM, the accepted students and their respective projects can be found at our landing page of the GSoC 2010 site.

The ScummVM team and especially the mentors welcome our 4 students this year:

Neeraj, Tony, Michael and Alejandro who will be tackling a range of interesting projects.
Congratulations, the best of luck and enjoy coding this summer :-)

We would also like to take the time to thank everyone who applied for ScummVM GSoC places this year but was unsuccessful.
We hope we can welcome many of you into our community.
