scumm + ipod touch = happiness

someone needs to port scummvm (script creation utility for maniac mansion) to the ipod touch. think about it… your on the subway/bus/car/plane/sidewalk having a wicked awesome time playing classics like sam & max hit the road, day of the tentacle, full throttle, the dig (and yes, the list of great scumm games goes on and on). lucas arts games were absolutely *amazing* back then and the touch-screen interface is absolutely *perfect* for point-and-click adventures.

speaking of which… myst. need i say more?

i was excited when i thought about making a controller to play nes games on my ipod… but this seems to have a much better effort-vs-reward equation to it. especially when someone else puts in all the effort and i reap the rewards…

update: wow, sometimes i’m just silly. thanks google…

and for the boss: sam & max on the ds

also, myst ds is going to be an actual commercial release. my 2 minutes of googling did not come up with any myst on the ipod touch tho. there is still time!now i need to go buy one of these hardware platforms… but what about my eeepc?! there is just too much cool stuff.

    My god, that is actually the first interesting gaming application I’ve heard of for the iPod touch. Lucasarts games were my first.

    What are the chances of there being a similar application for the DS?

    I love the new adventure games on the system (Hotel Dusk, Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright, etc.) But old school Sam and Max would just be unprecedented awesomeness.
