Yippee-ki-yay! The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce support for the DOS versions of the following titles created by American Laser Games:
* _Crime Patrol_
* _Crime Patrol 2: Drug Wars_
* _The Last Bounty Hunter_
* _Mad Dog McCree_
* _Mad Dog II: The Lost Gold_
* _Space Pirates_
* _Who Shot Johnny Rock?_

Grab your game CD (only DOS versions are supported currently), the [daily build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/dailybuilds), shoot some baddies before they shoot you, and report any bugs you might encounter on your adventures.

Or, if you don’t have any of those games but still want in on the fun, try one of the [demos](https://www.scummvm.org/demos) available.

Before you start your test run, we encourage you to read through our [testing guidelines](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing), and please take some [screenshots](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots) along the way.

And if the bunch of lawless villains always draw their six-shooters before you do, call the sheriff (or check the [wiki page](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=ALG#Debugger) to find out how to cheat your way through).

Ancient evil stirs, the grim times approaching. And it's up to you, our brave investigator, to explore a haunted mansion and unravel the terrifying secrets of the Necronomicon before darkness consumes the world.

The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce full support for [_Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Necronomicon:_The_Dawning_of_Darkness). This _Cryo Interactive_ adventure from 2001 draws deep from the well of H.P. Lovecraft's works, casting players into creeping madness.

Grab your portion of the [ScummVM daily build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/dailybuilds), prepare your copy of the game (or get it from [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/302390/Necronomicon_The_Dawning_of_Darkness/), roll up your sleeves, and dive into the unknown depths of this game.

And if you encounter any oddities (but not mishaps), please be kind to submit your bug report to [our tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org).

Also, we are looking for some dedicated testers to help us complete development of another game on the same engine, _The Cameron Files: The Secret at Loch Ness_. We need someone who would repeatedly and patiently replay this game. If you are willing to help, please drop by our [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/4cDsMNtcpG) and talk to the devs.

This year we are also coming with the good news: We've been accepted again to the [Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com) program!

So, if you love Adventure games or RPGs and would like to spend your summer with our cool team, we look forward to your application and participation.

Fear not—we will provide enough handholding, explanations, and support if you can dedicate time to coding on our project, are an open-minded developer ready to learn, and do not hesitate to ask any questions. We've been doing GSoC for the last 19 years (can't believe it!), so we know the drill.

A list of suggested projects can be found on [this page](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2026). If you have your own idea, we will gladly evaluate it. For example, this happened in 2023 with the [Crab engine](https://blogs.scummvm.org/hax0kartik/) which is now fully supported. The required information for your application for our project is listed on [our Wiki](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=GSoC_Application).

To give you a nice boost, we have put together an impressive amount of information on the [Google Summer of Code miniportal](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code). So you can learn all the ins and outs of the process. But indeed, you need to start by joining our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/4cDsMNtcpG) and follow the #scummvm-gsoc channel where you can engage with our mentors and the rest of the team.

We are looking forward to your fine application and participation!
