hi Eugene et al.,

sorry for HTML e-mail, but that's on purpose due to attached screenshots.

what about the following?

ScummVM opens this year's Christmas season one month earlier!

We would like to present a little gift to the smallest ones and to the ones
that don't feel that old yet.  We have added support for Dragon History, a
free game about a little dragon who has done some misdeeds and now tries to
make them up and on top of that find his strayed father.

If you wanna play, download the nightly build of ScummVM and the original
game files from http://www.ucw.cz/draci-historie/index-en.html

ACK

so I'm completely done except for waiting for addition of the game to the
compatibility list and for posting the NEWS item.  feel free to alter the
latter or just clean up the English language.

best,
