So ok, it seems once again we rejected a good idea of games based on random futile excuses. Fine. Too bad it's becoming the default reaction...<div><br><div>With the same attitude, ScummVM would only be a collection of SCUMM games. But back in the days, people were able to open a bit their mind and accept ideas, so other engines were accepted, then even some non-adventure games like t7g or myst. But this is history now.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks Filippos for the suggestion, I also considered that those were not 3D games but it doesn't matter much at this point. If you keep working on those, I guess there will be place for those in -MISC (to be confirmed by dreammaster). Have fun anyway!</div>

</div>I know exactly what the games are, and I'm not sure why you're trying<br>
to explain it to me. However, I disagree; it's still a form of 3D.<br>

</div>I'm saying that even though I have a heavy interest in supporting<br>
these games, I would not go out of my way to force them into ScummVM.<br>
In conclusion, I'm not really sure why you're trying to get Myst3 in<br>
here anyway; it seems to be doing quite well over in ResidualVM.<br>
