From Spain to Egypt, from Italy to Russia - follow the adventures of T.I.A agents Mort and Phil on secret missions around the world!

Less than a year ago we added Mortadelo y Filemón: Aventura de Cine Edición Especial to ScummVM. Now we can announce that the nine other games based on the same engine can be played using the daily build. These games were always developed in sets of three: two single-chapter games and a combined game with an exclusive final chapter.

Mortadelo y Filemón: Una Aventura de Cine Edición Original (2000)
- Mortadelo y Filemón: Dos vaqueros chapuceros
- Mortadelo y Filemón: Terror, Espanto y Pavor
Mortadelo y Filemón: La Sexta Secta (2001)
- Mortadelo y Filemón: Operación Moscú
- Mortadelo y Filemón: El Escarabajo de Cleopatra
Mortadelo y Filemón: La Banda de Corvino (2003)
- Mortadelo y Filemón: Balones y Patadones
- Mortadelo y Filemón: Mamelucos a la Romana

While Operación Moscú got a text translation in the English Steam release, the other games are currently only available in Spanish. Before you start your test run, please read through our testing guidelines and take some screenshots along the way.

PS3 twin package

Hey, now you can run bigger games on PS3 with our new multi-engine modules version package.

This package reduces ScummVM's memory usage by approximately 90 MB by loading engines as separate modules, leaving more memory available for games.

For more information, see the PS3 platform documentation page.

ScummVM 2026.3.0 "Carousels & Killer Whales" comes to fruition

nospam@scummvm.org (sev) — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 16:22:13 +0000

So far, we are able to keep the release cadence. This quarter, the team is bringing you a set of new and old, all exciting features!

Newly Supported Games:

Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel
Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island
Noctropolis
Cartoon Carnival
Alfred Pelrock: En Busca de un Sueño
Pilot Brothers: On the Track of Striped Elephant
Pilot Brothers: The Case of Serial Maniac and 5 more games on the same engine

General enhancements

This was the period of the Google Summer of Code start, so we had an influx of new contributors, who were busy with improving our GUI, adding small and big quality-of-life features, such as improved search, kinetic scrolling, and revamped About dialog.

Engine bugfixes and improvements

Ten supported engines got their tweaks and improvements. Martian Memorandum got script bug fixes, Simon 2 multilanguage support became better, there is a new whole control panel for the GLK engine, allowing to adjust text rendering, Last Express had some corner case bugs squashed, which also happened to the Rex Nebular. Might and Magic 1 had major rewiring of its keymapper, and the enhanced patch support plays better than ever.

There was active work on the Nancy engine, and besides the two newly added games (number 8 and 9), most of the already supported games in the series received their bug fixes (thank you very much for submitting bug reports).

Two new games landed to the SLUDGE engine, and we made them downloadable from our website. And last but not least, the TwinE engine, used for the Little Big Adventure series, got its own measure of bugs fixed.

On the ports side, the Atari port is an ongoing constant series of big and small optimizations, and the PlayStation 3 port is easier on the memory consumption, allowing heavier games to be played.

For more detailed itemization of the improvements, you may refer to the release notes.

And as per our new release procedure, the port builds will be arriving within the next few weeks.

ScummVM on track for striped patience

nospam@scummvm.org (zidane) — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 21:09:18 +0000

ScummVM ha ufficialmente completato il supporto per il motore proprietario per Windows usato dalla Gamos. Tale motore è stato originariamente utilizzato per Pilot Brothers 1 e 2, dando il via all'iconica serie di giochi di avventura, prima della transizione ai motori qdEngine e NGI. È stato inoltre usato per creare una selezione di giochini passatempo "da ufficio".

Il motore fornisce il supporto per sette giochi:

Patience
Flip-Flop
NetWalk
Pilot Brothers: On the Track of Striped Elephant
Pilot Brothers: The Case of Serial Maniac
Vitamin
WildSnake

Quindi, se ti va di ricordare il passato e spendere un po' di tempo insieme ai due detective eccentrici Chef e Colleague, o dilettarti con giochi in stile Solitario, scarica l'ultima daily build di sviluppo e recupera i file dati dei giochi. Come sempre, qualora riscontrassi malfunzionamenti o stranezze, per cortesia segnalale al nostro bug tracker.

Alfred Pelrock si unisce a ScummVM

nospam@scummvm.org (kelmer) — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 17:28:11 +0000

Buone notizie per i fan dei giochi di avventura: Alfred Pelrock è ora supportato da ScummVM.

Originariamente rilasciato nel 1996, Alfred Pelrock è un'avventura punta-e-clicca umoristica caratterizzata da grafica in stile cartoon, curiosi puzzle e umorismo irriverente. Dopo aver sognato una principessa egiziana imprigionata dall'antichità, Alfred intraprende un viaggio nel tempo fino all'Antico Egitto per salvarla, incontrando bizzarre situazioni e personaggi eccentrici lungo il percorso.

Il gioco è ricco di situazioni comiche e satiriche, ma contiene anche temi suggestivi e occasionale humor per adulti, tipico del periodo. Inoltre, il gioco è stato rilasciato esclusivamente in spagnolo e non esistono traduzioni ufficiali.

Come sempre, se disponi del gioco originale e conosci lo spagnolo, procurati l'ultima build di sviluppo, aggiungi i file richiesti del gioco e divertiti! Attendiamo segnalazioni di bug e feedback da parte dei giocatori per ottimizzare la compatibilità e preservare al meglio questo piccolo ritaglio dell'enorme storia delle avventure grafiche.
