I personally haven't seen that version, and we don't support it yet in ScummVM, but
according to johndoe, it uses MPEG2 videos. I don't know of any other adventure game
which uses MPEG2 videos... So, we could either keep the libmpeg2 library, in case RtZ
Mac is supported in the future, or in case another adventure game pops up which
has MPEG2 videos, or we could just drop the library, and not worry about the extra
dependency and increased executable size it creates. To me, it'd be preferable to
drop it, as nothing is using it at the moment... and one still unsupported game version
does not justify having the library hanging around bloating the executable. But that's
me...

Filippos
