Hello!
I just wanted to bring up another great and funny 3rd person "point and
click" adventure game from 1995, which definitely should be supported by
ScummVM, since it is not really playable anymore: **Archibald Applebrook's
Abenteuer**.
[https://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/archibald-applebrooks-abenteuer]
With some tweaking it does run in ''DOSBox'', however loading and saving
is broken there (meaning you cannot play it through, unless you have very
much time at hand in one sitting...), and there are some performance lags,
sometimes jittery audio and occasional game freezes. Not to mention the
troubles of setting it up to eventually work to that degree in DOSBox.
Getting the game to run in ScummVM would be an elegant solution, and I
think it is absolutely worth being added to the list of supported games.
You may check out what it is like here: [https://youtu.be/ItPRfQj6dUc]
Since the game is in German only, a few words in this language:
Liebe Leute, ich fände es toll, diesen Spaß aus meiner Kindheit nochmal
zocken zu können. Habe viel gelacht damals, aber möchte mir ungern extra
dafür nochmal einen 486er mit DOS anschaffen...
Das Spiel hat einen besonderen Humor, schöne Grafiken, lustige Rätsel und
- wenn es mal in Gang gekommen ist - eine packende Story.
Ich bin sicher, dass sich viele Leute freuen würden, dieses Spiel ihrer
Sammlung hinzufügen zu können, und dass es sicher neue Fans gewinnen
würde.
Ich weiß nicht, wie groß der Entwicklungsaufwand für eine Unterstützung
dieses Titels wäre; ich kann mir aber nur schwer vorstellen, dass sie
dafür eine komplett neue Engine entwickelt haben.
Vielleicht mag sich ja mal jemand dieses vergessenen Kleinods annehmen,
und den Aufwand taxieren. Möglicherweise wird ja dann ein Projekt draus.
Without endorsing illegal copies, you will need a copy of the game to work
on it.
So, for development purposes only, you may download it here:

If you need an original CD, I only have one of it and I am rather
unwilling to give it away. :-] But I will, if there is no other way.
I hope you will find this game worth being supported and someone starts
working on it!
