[09:09] <eriktorbjorn> And again I find myself wondering, does anyone really pay these prices for obscure games? https://www.ebay.com/itm/124829003437?hash=item1d10636ead:g:ZPEAAOSw6iJhAXch

[20:40] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> I went through this list of top 100 Adventure Games of all time. By my count, ScummVM supports 45 of them and has WIP for four of them: Amber: Journeys Beyond (Director), Star Trek: Judgment Rites, Sanitarium, and The Last Express. https://adventuregamers.com/articles/view/18643
[20:41] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> Some of them are definitely odd (Portal is an adventure game?) but it's good to see ScummVM so well represented.
[20:41] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> The Tex Murphy games stand out to me as the big franchise not supported.
[20:43] <grogbot> <Henke37> the curse of the "action adventure" label
[20:44] <grogbot> <SupSuper> portal is generally called an "adventure" since it's not an "action" fps, by the process of elimination 😛
[20:44] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> Yeah, fair enough. Looking forward to the day somebody tries to port it to ScummVM 😉
[20:50] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> We support 18 out of the top 25, with one more WIP (The Last Express). The 6 we don't support are Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive, Portal 2, Syberia, Machinarium, Still Life, and Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon.
[20:51] <grogbot> <SupSuper> dunno if we'll ever support stuff like machinarium since those are flash games, and we already have one macromedia to deal with 😛
[20:51] <grogbot> <Retrodude> It's also a bit funny to have Ace Attorney referred to as an adventure game, but I guess it's different enough from typical visual novels to warrant that distinction
[20:52] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> Yeah, maybe the clue-finding segments and inventory make it an adventure game?
[20:52] <grogbot> <SupSuper> "it has puzzles" is probably the distinction, yeah
[20:52] <grogbot> <SupSuper> you could argue most adventures are story + puzzles, anything less and it becomes either a novel or a puzzle game
[20:52] <grogbot> <Retrodude> The Investigations spinoffs are probably even moreso adventure games than the mainline series
[20:53] --> Maturion joined #scummvm.
[20:53] <grogbot> <SupSuper> and crimes has always been a popular adventure topic 😛
[20:53] <grogbot> <Retrodude> Mostly because you can walk around freely
[20:55] <wanwan1> oh, look, a ladder!
[20:57] <grogbot> <SupSuper> surely you mean a stepladder

[21:09] <grogbot> <eientei> explains why Professor Layton is on the list
[21:14] <grogbot> <eientei> The Dark Eye is also in the Director engine
[21:21] <-- _sev left irc: Quit: This computer has gone to sleep
[21:34] <grogbot> <eientei> The Space Bar looks incredibly simple from a file format perspective. Nothing but BMP, SMK, WAV and TXT files
[21:37] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> Thanks. That means 46 + 5 WIP. Past the halfway point!

[22:10] <grogbot> <eientei> Apparently Riddle of Master Lu used to be in ScummVM but was removed when the M4 engine was removed in 2011 https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/b0611f31895130dcc27bef93bf1d54dfbfc1da43
[22:14] <grogbot> <Khvostik> Scummvm had engines removed?
[22:15] <grogbot> <eientei> Spycraft: The Great Game also in Director:
[22:15] <grogbot> <trembyle> Just the demo is
[22:16] <grogbot> <eientei> ah
[22:16] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> It was only some preliminary work. Originally we had a combined engine for MADS (Rex Nebular) and M4 (Orion Burger and Riddle), but work on both the latter was abandoned.
[22:16] <grogbot> <trembyle> Activision made a few demos in Director. They seemed to like it for promos.
[22:17] <grogbot> <trembyle> Elk Moon Murder and Muppet Treasure Island are others
