[...] free alternatives and the homebrew stuff I can stuff on it because I’ve jailbroken it (Quake! ScummVM! MAME!). Intelliphone, though, that I dropped real Earth money on. I do most of my music and movie [...]

Not to sound like an Ass but I had sam and max on my cellphone for over 4 years now LOL, It’s nothing new at all, ScummVM have existed for ages.

Iphone is just an very crappy phone really, it doesn’t even have half the functions of hte new phones and you also pay twice to 3 to 4 times as much for it as phones with more functionality and power.

I know They’re selling a bunch of them for $10 down here in Australia.

I picked up Sam & Max, Grim Fandango, Curse of Monkey Island, and Dark Forces 2.

Unfortunately my local store stopped selling them before i could grab full throttle.

There’s not much DosBox needs to do….it’s the mobile phone’s processors that need to be faster. SCUMMVM doesn’t do any emulation, whereas DOSBOX does. So for DOSBOX to get better you’ll have to wait for processors that aren’t POS. Here’s to hoping Intel gets off their asses soon….

I’m finally playing Broken Sword – on my Gameboy Micro. Great fun. Looks like the ScummVM will never be ported to GBA though…

I quite like the feeble excuses. They make it sound as if there’s something dirty and repugnant about playing games on something other than a PC.

Which, of course, there is.

LucasArts should sell their old adventure game data files. $4 per download? I’d grab pretty much their entire backlog of SCUMM games.

I think you should stop with the feeble excuses when you want to post about something that’s not a PC game. I doubt there’s many people concerned about RPS’ platform purity. I wouldn’t mind hearing about your opinions on a console game or whatever if you’ve got stuff to say about such things.

Just call yourself a games site with a PC bias and stop worrying.

Old PC games are pretty much all I use my PSP for; Ultima 7, Star Control 2, Civ and the Lucasarts adventures back catalogue.

But the most important question of all, will it blend? (Cheers Richard, this site now provides me with hours of fun)

ScummVM works on Symbian; my co-workers are perpetually amused by the insane need to play The Secret of Monkey Island through on every piece of hardware I own :-$
