This finally leads us to the subject of this very special article, ScummVM for Nintendo 64. It was also built in easily portable code, leading ScummVM to become one of the most frquently ported open source applications. ScummVM was started in 2001 and at first focused on LucasArts titles, but quickly expanded to cover many different engines by different studios who developed point 'n click adventure games. That's when ScummVM comes into the picture. Those games received many ports to different competing systems of the time, but with the fall of LucasArts in the 2000s, these games would end up falling into obscurity with no official re-releases. Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and many others would all become fan favorites of the genre. For the PC crowd, they became famous for their excellent point 'n click adventure games. Some of these games were also released on Windows PCs, a platform most would consider to be the homebase for LucasArts. For us N64 fans, they're best known for their groundbreaking Star Wars games, even Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine turned out seriously great. Growing up in the late 90s, one of my favorite game companies was LucasArts.
