[scummvm-devel] hello, new guy here

[die4ever2005]

Woa this is crazy, from that IGN link

"Clandestiny was originally released by Devine when he was at Trilobyte in
1996 as the company's third title, following The 7th Guest and 11th Hour.
The game has been rewritten from scratch for the Mac, with new tougher AI
for the puzzles, new navigation and brighter environments."

It might not even use Groovie anymore, so this version might not work at
all in ScummVM.
