Some of the other games that use the engine include Carmen Sandiego,
In the 1st Degree, and the Living Books series.

My blog has pretty much kept track of how things in the engine have
moved along, but here's a quick summary: Riven is currently playable
up to the "dome puzzles" (with the "marble puzzle" just bypassed).
Videos that block interaction with the environment will play, but the
background videos do not yet play. Water effects and zip mode are
supported while the transitions are not yet supported.

Myst is becoming more playable now too. For those familiar with the
game, you are able to explore most of Myst and Stoneship right now in
both the original Windows release and the Myst Masterpiece Edition.

Hopefully this engine will be included into the main ScummVM tree :)
