After many years of development, games made with World Builder are ready for testing. The World Builder creation system was released for the original Macintosh and was extremely popular among developers. As such, we're announcing that over 160 games built on the engine are ready for public testing in ScummVM. Notable games made with World Builder include:

• Ray's Maze. The game follows Frank Farley, a part-time adventurer, who finds himself in a Maze full of dangerous monsters and deadly traps. The objective of the game is to solve puzzles and escape the maze.
• Radical Castle. You are given the role of a squire, who must bring back the stolen "Oracle" to the King to escape a fatal punishment.
• Enchanced Scepters. The first game created using World Builder, and one of the few commercial games made with it. The player must find fire, earth, air, and water scepters and bring them back to the castle.

Most games made with WAGE are either freeware or shareware, and for your convenience we've collected all titles with these types into one big downloadable archive. So grab it from our game downloads page, get yourself a daily development build, and start your journey. As always, if you happen to have any issues, please submit the bug reports to our issue tracker. Lastly, contact us if you have some other unrecognised games or a new demo.

We are happy to announce that ScummVM now supports Adibou 2: Nature & Sciences, a 1998 expansion of Coktel Vision's Adibou 2.

While the original Adibou 2 game focused on reading and mathematics, Nature & Sciences explores new topics: history, geography, science & technology, the countryside, and everyday life. Each subject features six playful educational activities. Please note that the 3D car driving minigame is unfortunately not supported in our ScummVM reimplementation, as it was based on a different engine from the rest of the game.

To help us during the testing period, dig out your Nature & Sciences CD, grab a daily build and read our testing guidelines. You will also need an existing installation from the base Adibou 2: Environment CD, and to copy the contents of your Nature & Sciences CD into a freely named subdirectory of the main game directory, as described in our wiki. Then, register the expansion in-game via the "Land of Knowledge" screen, and start collecting sweets as you complete Adibou's activities…or encourage a young relative to do so! Hardworking players may even earn a diploma upon completing a module, which they can proudly display in their room!

Finally, please contact us if you are aware of other games using SLUDGE, variant releases, or releases that are not getting detected properly.

Paris, July 24, 1914. We are excited to announce that Jordan Mechner's acclaimed real-time adventure The Last Express is now ready for testing in ScummVM!

Step into the shoes of Robert Cath, an American doctor on the run from murder charges, as he boards the legendary Orient Express for what would be its final journey before the outbreak of World War I.

What makes this adventure game truly unique is its time-based gameplay - the game takes place in real time, and characters move within the train following their own schedules, speaking in their native languages, and living their lives whether you're watching or not. But don't worry... you can always rewind time if you missed anything important!

To test this game, you'll need the original version of the game (either from the original hybrid DOS/Windows/Mac CDs or from GOG.com) and a daily development build of ScummVM. Please note that the Gold Edition available from Steam is NOT supported - only the original version is compatible at this time. The engine supports the following languages for the game: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. We couldn't locate the Japanese version at the moment, but please contact us if you have it!

Grab a daily build, have our testing guidelines handy, and get ready for an incredible journey through history, mystery, and one of the most innovative adventure games of the 1990s — and besides... the Orient Express is such a beautiful train, wouldn't you want to take some screenshots while you're there?

A young physics professor named Lester conducts a particle experiment. Suddenly, something goes wrong, lightning strikes, and in a moment Lester finds himself in a strange alien world. Now he must fight for his life in this strange place. Luckily, he'll find help along the way..

The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce full support for Out of this World (aka Another World). This is particularly noteworthy, since the original version of this engine was briefly added to ScummVM over twenty years ago.

Help us test the game by grabbing a daily build. Read through our testing guidelines. Currently, only the original DOS and Windows 3.1 versions are supported, though with sounds effects only, and not the music. Also, unfortunately, the Anniversary Editions are not yet supported. Additionally, like the original, you can't save your game, but you can use the 'c' key to open an area select dialog to enter a code to resume where you left off. And please take some screenshots along the way.

Lester's fate is in your hands. You'll deal with dangerous fauna, bloodthirsty aliens, and fiendish puzzles as you flee for your life.
