ScummVM: Play cool old adventures

Do you have fond memories of any old adventure games?



Personally, I have once upon a time spent several weeks engrossed in something called Day Of The Tentacle.

Recently I started playing around with ScummVM, a game engine emulator originating from LucasArt.
Website: http://www.scummvm.org/
ScummVM runs on many different operating systems and game consoles. If you are running openSUSE you can just install it from YaST.

All the old favorites can be played; Sam & Max, Full Throttle, Larry but also Grim Fandango.

My kid will have to get to know some of these games... mandatory part of a good education. Why are today's games not more like these?

Very cool and a must-have for the serious geek: cuff links made from old laptop keyboard keys.

This is a very cool new (game) controller that gives the Wii a run for its money.

Made by a company called Sixense it is a real 3d controller which allows you to tilt, rotate, pan etc with the controller.
