A new release of ScummVM is ready. This is a thrilling one because we are embracing adventure games as far back as 1976! That’s right, the infamous _Colossal Cave Adventure_, the very first Interactive Fiction game, is now supported by ScummVM.

Besides that (and about 1594 other IF games), we now added 3 more game engines and extended another 4, thus adding the following games to the supported list:

* _Blazing Dragons_
* _Eye of the Beholder - Sega CD version_
* _Griffon Legend_
* _Interactive Fiction games_
* _Operation Stealth_
* _Police Quest: SWAT_
* _Prince and the Coward, English translation_
* _Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar_
* _Ultima VI - The False Prophet_
* _Ultima VIII - Pagan_

As you can see, we continue our exploration into the world of RPGs.

Other notable changes are: a fully rewritten MorphOS port; a new subsystem for automatic saves present in nearly every engine we support; Right-To-Left display support in our GUI; updated MT-32 emulation code and Discord Rich Presence.

We now support additional different game versions, and have noticeable improvements to Illusions, Kyra, Lab, Queen, Titanic, Xeen and ZVision engines. There is also improved support for Maniac Mansion, NES and Apple //gs versions. As usual, we continue fixing original SCI script bugs in over 30 games and added Roland D-110 soundtrack support to these games.

Of course, you can find the comprehensive Release Notes [here](https://wwwdownloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.2.0/ReleaseNotes.html).

Grab your copy from [our downloads page](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads), or, on Windows or macOS, let the automatic updater fetch it for you.

In addition, we will be releasing a new Android port into the Beta Channel and will need your help with testing. That would be great for us to get your feedback at [the Android Port subforum](https://forums.scummvm.org/viewforum.php?f=17).

Time to dive into a nice Interactive Fiction or fry some monsters in Ultima with a Blazing Fire, if you’re a dragon of course.

The ScummVM team is excited to welcome CadiH and b-gent, our talented technical writers and participants of Google’s Season of Docs.

CadiH will be working with us to launch a new documentation portal, which will include a revamped user manual and centralize our diaspora of information from the Wiki, Readme, and various other docs within our repository.

b-gent brings his expertise and experience to help us modernize our Doxygen documentation. The Doxygen portal has long been neglected, this will benefit our developers and community as a whole.

The work will officially begin on September 14 and will last 3 months. You can follow the progress of our two writers on the [ScummVM Blogs](https://planet.scummvm.org) and in the scummvm-gdoc channel on [our Discord server](https://discord.gg/4cDsMNtcpG).

Das ScummVM-Team freut sich, CadiH und b-gent, unsere talentierten Autoren und Teilnehmer am Google Season of Docs-Programm begrüßen zu dürfen.

CadiH wird daran arbeiten, ein neues Dokumentations-Portal für uns zu erstellen, welches ein aktualisiertes Benutzerhandbuch beinhalten wird und zum Ziel hat, die Informationen, die über das Wiki, die Liesmich-Datei und verschiedene weitere Dokumente innerhalb unseres Repositories verstreut sind, zu sammeln und zusammenzufassen.

b-gent bringt seine Expertise und Erfahrung ein, um uns bei der Modernisierung unserer Doxygen-Dokumentation zu helfen. Das Doxygen-Portal wurde lange vernachlässigt, daher werden sowohl unsere Entwickler als auch unsere gesamte Gemeinschaft davon profitieren.

Offiziell beginnen die Arbeiten am 14. September und werden 3 Monate andauern. Du kannst den Fortschritt unserer beiden Autoren in den [ScummVM-Blogs](https://planet.scummvm.org) und im scummvm-gdoc-Channel auf unserem [Discord-Server](https://discord.gg/4cDsMNtcpG) verfolgen.

Blazing Dragons Set ScummVM Aflame
Blazing Dragons steckt ScummVM in Brand
20200820.content
After many months of development Blazing Dragons is now ready for public testing.

Join young dragon Flicker as he attempts to win the hand of Princess Flame and save Camelhot along the way.

This is a rather odd Point and Click game as it was only released on Consoles.
ScummVM's new Dragons engine allows you to run the Playstation version of this somewhat forgotten title. Throw away that PS1 controller and enjoy the game with a mouse/keyboard interface. We've also taken out all the annoying loading screens.

Only the US and GB Playstation 1 versions are supported at the moment.

You will need a [daily development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots). As always, please submit the bug reports to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).
Nach vielen Monaten Entwicklungszeit ist die Entwicklung an Blazing Dragons nun soweit fortgeschritten, dass das Spiel getestet werden kann.

Begleite den jungen Drachen Flicker bei seinem Versuch, die Hand von Prinzessin Flame zu gewinnen und nebenbei noch Camelhot zu retten.

Blazing Dragon ist ein ziemlich ungewöhnliches Point-and-Click-Adventure, da es nur für Konsolen veröffentlicht wurde.
ScummVMs neue Dragons-Engine ermöglicht dir, die Playstation-Version dieses irgendwie in Vergessenheit geratenen Titels zu spielen. Wirf deinen PS1-Controller an die Wand und genieße das Spiel mit Maus und Tastatur. Wir haben auch die nervigen Ladezeiten entfernt.

Aktuell werden ausschließlich die US- und UK-Version des Spiels unterstützt.

Du benötigst eine aktuelle [Entwicklerversion](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) von ScummVM. Wie immer möchten wir dich darum bitten, gefundene Fehler in unserem [Bugtracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/) zu melden.

In 2008 Google Summer of Code we had Kari Salminen aka Buddha^ working on adding <i>Operation Stealth</i> game support. While it was an overall success, still certain important game features were missing. Now, 12 years later, Kari got time for completing his work.

Thus, we are proudly announcing support for the <i>Operation Stealth</i> game also known as <i>James Bond 007: The Stealth Affair</i> in the US release.

Grab your copy of the game, fetch the [daily build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) of ScummVM and give it a go. If you encounter any oddities or bugs, please submit to our [bug tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).
Während des Google Scummer of Code 2008 hat Kari Salminen aka Buddha^ an der Unterstützung für das Spiel <i>Operation Stealth</i> gearbeitet. Obwohl das Projekt durchaus erfolgreich war, blieben einige Bestandteile noch unvollendet. Jetzt, 12 Jahre später, hat Kari sich die Zeit genommen, seine Arbeit zu vervollständigen.

Hiermit verkünden wir stolz die Unterstützung für <i>Operation Stealth</i>, welches in den USA unter dem Namen <i>James Bond 007: The Stealth Affair</i> veröffentlicht wurde.

Neben dem Spiel benötigst du eine aktuelle [Entwicklerversion](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) von ScummVM. Solltest du auf Fehler oder andere Merkwürdigkeiten stoßen, melde diese bitte in unserem [Bug-Tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

ScummVM Team is proud to announce support for a small freeware RPG game named <i>The Griffon Legend</i>. It was [originally](http://syn9.thehideoutgames.com/index_backup.php) written in the FreeBASIC programming language by Daniel "Syn9" Kennedy and later ported by Dmitry Smagin to the GCW0 console, which we base this port on.

The original story says:

>500 years after the Griffon-Dragon war, the Dragons have
returned to reclaim their empire. Cities are falling,
everyone is dieing, and the lone Griffon Knight Fayne is
caught up in the middle of it all.

Since the game is freeware, you may grab a copy directly from our game [downloads page](https://www.scummvm.org/games/) or from the [original site](http://syn9.thehideoutgames.com/index_backup.php?table=griffonlegend). You will need the latest [development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) to play it.

Die Legende besagt:

<pre>500 Jahre nach dem Griffon-Drachen-Krieg, sind die Drachen
zurückgekehrt um ihr Reich zurück zu erobern. Städte fallen,
es gibt nur wenige Überlebende und der einsame Griffon-Ritter Fayne
ist zwischen allen Fronten gefangen.</pre>

Eine neue Version von ScummVM steht bereit. Diese Version ist besonders spannend, denn wir reisen heute in das Jahr 1976 zurück! Richtig, das berühmte _Colossal Cave Adventure_, das erste Interactive Fiction-Spiel, wird ab sofort in ScummVM unterstützt.

Zusätzlich (neben ungefähr 1594 weiteren IF-Spielen) haben wir die Unterstützung für 3 weitere Spiele-Engines hinzugefügt und 4 bereits bestehende Engines erweitert. Damit können wir folgende Spiele zu unserer Kompatibilitätsliste hinzugefügen:

* _Blazing Dragons_
* _Eye of the Beholder - Sega CD version_
* _Griffon Legend_
* _Interactive Fiction games_
* _Operation Stealth_
* _Police Quest: SWAT_
* _Prince and the Coward, (englischsprachige Version)_
* _Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar_
* _Ultima VI - The False Prophet_
* _Ultima VIII - Pagan_

Wie du sehen kannst, arbeiten wir uns weiter in die Welt der RPGs ein.

Weitere nennenswerte Änderungen sind: Eine komplett neu entwickelte Portierung auf MorphOS; ein neues Subsystem für automatische Speicherstände, welches für nahezu jede unterstützte Spiele-Engine zur Verfügung steht; unsere Benutzeroberfläche unterstützt nun Sprachen, die von rechts nach links geschrieben werden; eine aktualisierte MT-32-Emulation und eine Discord-Integration über die Rich Presence-API.

Wir unterstützen nun zusätzliche Spiele-Versionen und haben der Illusions-, Kyra-, Lab-, Queen-, Titanic-, Xeen- und ZVision-Engines einige Verbesserungen spendiert. Zusätzlich wurde die Unterstützung für die NES- und Apple //gs-Versionen von Maniac Mansion verbessert. Wie üblich arbeiten wir auch weiter daran, Fehler in den Original-Skripten von über 30 SCI-Spielen zu korrigieren und haben für diese Spiele auch die Unterstützung für einen Roland D-110-Soundtrack entwickelt.

Eine umfangreiche Liste aller Änderungen findest du [hier](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scummvm/scummvm/v2.2.0/doc/de/NEUES.md).

Lade ScummVM gleich von unserer [Website](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads) herunter oder lass - sofern du Windows oder macOS nutzt - die automatische Aktualisierungsfunktion diese Aufgabe für dich erledigen.

Zusätzlich werden wir eine neue Android-Portierung im Beta-Channel des Play Store veröffentlichen und benötigen hier deine Unterstützung. Es wäre großartig, wenn du uns in unserem [Android-Forum](https://forums.scummvm.org/viewforum.php?f=17) über deine Erfahrungen mit der neuen Version berichten könntest.

Zeit, in die Tiefen der Interactive Fiction einzutauchen oder in Ultima mit einem Feuersturm einige Monster zu braten - natürlich nur, wenn du ein Drache bist.

A merger
Ein Zusammenschluss

*“Sorry for the wait Mr. Flores, I’m ready to take you now”*– Grim Fandango.

Today is a special day, special in a number of ways. First of all, we hit a milestone with 19 years of ScummVM. Our first-ever public release, ScummVM version 0.0.1, happened on October 8th, 2001. And second, something else finally happened, something which has been in the talks for a long time: The ScummVM project is officially merging with the ResidualVM project.

For a long time ScummVM limited itself to 2D point-and-click adventure games, and so ResidualVM was born as a sister project to support 3D games. But from now on, there will be no more confusion about which project a game belongs to. ScummVM now embraces adventure games and RPGs, whether they are 2D or 3D, point-and-click or not. It is a natural step for both projects which have been developed alongside each other and cross-pollinating each other with ideas, patches and design decisions. Moreover, several developers belonged to both projects.

With this merger, ScummVM adds several games to our supported list: _Grim Fandango_, _Escape from Monkey Island_, _Myst III - Exile_, _The Longest Journey_ and an unfinished engine for _In Cold Blood_, as well as Wintermute 3D engine.

We’re excited to embrace most of the ResidualVM team and will continue development together.

Of course, there are still more things to do and, in the coming weeks, you will see more project resources merging like forums, wikis, etc.

Stay tuned and go 3D!
*"Tut mir leid, dass Sie warten mussten, Mr. Flores. Ich habe jetzt Zeit für Sie"* – Grim Fandango.

Der heutige Tag ist in vielerlei Hinsicht ein ganz besonderer Tag. Vor 19 Jahren, am 08. Oktober 2001, haben wir mit ScummVM 0.0.1 die erste öffentliche Version von ScummVM veröffentlicht. Und etwas anderes geschieht heute - etwas, um das sich seit geraumer Zeit Gerüchte ranken, wird heute Wirklichkeit: ScummVM und ResidualVM schließen sich zusammen.

Für lange Zeit hat sich das ScummVM-Projekt auf die Unterstützung von 2D-Point-and-Click-Adventures beschränkt, weshalb ResidualVM als Schwersterprojekt geboren wurde, um die Unterstützung von 3D-Spielen zu verwirklichen. Jetzt gibt es keine Unterscheidung mehr, welches Spiel zu welchem der beiden Projekte gehört.

ScummVM unterstützt Adventures und RPGs, ganz gleich, ob 2D oder 3D; ob Point-and-Click oder nicht.

Für beide Projekte, die in der Vergangenheit eng zusammengearbeitet, gegenseitig Ideen eingebracht, Patches beigesteuert und Design-Entscheidungen getroffen haben, ist dieser Zusammenschluss der nächste natürliche Entwicklungsschritt.

Mit dieser Ankündigung wird die Liste der von ScummVM unterstützten Spiele um _Grim Fandango_, _Escape from Monkey Island_, _Myst III - Exile_, _The Longes Journey_ und eine noch nicht fertiggestellte Engine für _In Cold Blood_ erweitert. Wir freuen uns, die meisten Mitglieder des ResidualVM-Teams bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen und gemeinsam mit ihnen an der Weiterentwicklung des Projektes zu arbeiten.

Natürlich gibt es jetzt noch einiges zu tun. In den nächsten Wochen werden wir weiter daran arbeiten, zusätzliche Ressourcen wie unsere Foren und Wikis zusammenzuführen.

Sei dabei - jetzt auch in 3D!

Our new and shiny Android port for ScummVM v2.2.1 is now live on the Google Play Store. After quite a long period of dedicated work from our team developers, and a month of public beta testing by members of our community who helpfully reported quite a few issues for us to address, we are finally ready to give you the stable release for our ScummVM Android app.

This app has been significantly re-written and tested on modern Android devices, running up to Android 10+. It includes new features which bring it up to speed with the desktop ScummVM application, such as FluidSynth support, Cloud Saves and more localization choices for the UI. Also included is the Local File Server (LAN) feature, whereby your device can act as a temporary file server allowing you to download files (eg. save files and even the config file) or upload new ones (eg. game data) using a web browser from a PC or another client.

With this release we have resolved a few long standing issues such as:

* upgrading from previous versions without losing access to your previous configuration and save files
* folder navigation (based on storage access permission settings)
* Working special keys on the virtual keyboard (such as F-keys) as well as handling of repeated keys

Other significant improvements have been made to the interface of the application, such as the ability to choose whether the GUI will feature filtered graphics (bilinear scaling) or not (nearest neighbor scaling), several fixes for the virtual keyboard behavior to make it more responsive and closer emulate the behavior of a physical keyboard, and support for virtual mouse control using the analogue joystick from your controller.

By upgrading to the new 2.2.1 version you will be able to enjoy support for all the game engines that have been introduced on ScummVM since 2.0.0, such as Blade Runner, Ultima IV, Quest for Glory IV, as well as all the bug fixes and improvements made to the existing ones.

Of course we continue to monitor our community’s feedback and welcome any suggestions for improvement. As always, please report any bugs you encounter on the ScummVM [bug tracker site](https://bugs.scummvm.org).

We thank all our beta testers for their most valuable feedback and hope that you enjoy this version of ScummVM Android.
Unsere neue Android-Portierung von ScummVM v2.2.1 ist nun über den Google Play Store erhältlich. Nach einer langen Phase harter Arbeit unserer Entwickler und einer Testphase von einem Monat durch die Mitglieder unserer Community, die uns durch ihr Feedback geholfen hat, einige Probleme zu beheben, sind wir nun endlich bereit, eine neue, stabile Version von ScummVM für Android freizugeben.

Die App wurde zu großen Teilen komplett neu geschrieben und auf aktuellen Android-Geräten mit einer Android-Version von 10 und höher getestet. Sie enthält nun auch einige Features, die uns näher an die Desktop-Version von ScummVM bringen, wie beispielsweise Unterstützung für FluidSynth, Cloud-Spielstände und weitere Lokalisierungs-Optionen für die Benutzeroberfläche. Neu hinzugekommen ist auch das LAN-Feature, mit dem dein Android-Gerät temporär als Fileserver arbeiten kann, sodass du über einen Web-Browser Dateien (Spielstände, die Konfigurationsdatei, Spiel-Daten) auf andere Geräte herunterladen kannst.

Diese Version behebt einige Probleme, die seit längerem bestehen.

* Ein Update von einer älteren Version behält nun deine Konfigurationsdatei und die Spielstände bei
* Verbesserte Unterstützung für die Verzeichnis-Navigation (basierend auf den Android-Berechtigungen)
* Funktionierende Sondertasten auf der virtuellen Tastatur (wie die F-Tasten) sowie die Behandlung wiederholter Tastendrücke

Zusätzlich haben wir noch weitere Verbesserungen an der App vorgenommen. So kannst du jetzt auswählen, ob die Benutzeroberfläche mit einem Grafikfilter dargestellt werden soll (bilineare Filterung) oder nicht; mehrere Verbesserungen an der virtuellen Tastatur lassen diese deutlich schneller arbeiten, sodass diese deutlich näher an dem Verhalten einer "echten" Tastatur ist. Die virtuelle Maus kann jetzt auch über den Analog-Stick deines Controllers angesteuert werden.

Durch das Update auf die neue Version 2.2.1 wirst du auch in den Genuss aller Spiele-Engines kommen, die seit der Version 2.0.0 zu ScummVM hinzugekommen sind. Darunter fallen etwa Blade Runner, Ultima IV, Quest for Glory IV sowie alle Fehlerbehebungen und Verbesserungen an allen anderen Engines.

Natürlich beobachten wir das Feedback unserer Community genau und freuen uns sehr über alle Verbesserungsvorschläge. Wie üblich solltest du alle Fehler direkt in unserem Bug-Tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org) melden.

Wir möchten allen Beta-Testern für ihr Feedback danken und hoffen, dass dir diese Android-Version von ScummVM gefällt.

Big adventures ahead - Little Big Adventures
 
20201122.content
Once upon a time in the past - around the year 1994 - a software company called Adeline Software International released a game titled “Little Big Adventure” or “Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure”. This game, a classic pseudo-3D action adventure game with an epic story set on a fantastic planet, has now entered the testing stage in ScummVM. Please, note that a few features of the original game are not implemented yet. However, we also added a few features which are new for the game.

Features not available yet and known issues:

* The holomap is not yet available
* Changing the rendering details is not supported yet
* The credits sequence has a few rendering bugs

New features:

* An option to disable wall collision damage
* Improved UI navigation

This was all made possible by the people behind the [TwinEngine](https://github.com/xesf/twin-e) project and the LBA community.

Please test the game with the latest [development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) and report any issues you find on our [bug tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

The Red Comrades game series goes supported
 
20201127.content
In 2019, Andrei Prykhodko (whiterandrek), a GSoC student, was working on support for the Red Comrades game series (Russian: Петька и Василий Иванович).

Red Comrades is a 2D adventure game played from a third-person perspective.
The game's protagonists are from Dmitri Furmanov's 1923 novel Chapaev: historical Russian military figure Vasiliy Chapayev, his aide Petka, and the machine gunner, Anka.

After a long time in development, the ScummVM team is happy to announce support for the first two games in the series: _Red Comrades 1: Save the Galaxy_ (Russian: _Петька и Василий Иванович спасают галактику_) and _Red Comrades 2: For the Great Justice_ (Russian: _Петька и Василий Иванович 2: Судный день_).

So break out your copies of the games and give them a try! Unfortunately, only the original Russian Windows versions are supported. The English versions for iOS and Android use a completely different engine.

If you don’t own a copy, you can get the demo from our [demos section](https://www.scummvm.org/demos/). You will need a [daily development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots). As always, please submit the bug reports to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

It's time to announce testing for a further two Glk subengines. The first is the Glulx interpreter, for which there are many free games available at [the IF-Archive](https://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXglulx.html).

The second is the Comprehend engine games developed by Polarware. Here's where things get a bit more complicated. At the moment, only the first three Comprehend games are ready for testing - Transylvania, Crimson Crown, and OO-Topos. These three are also freely available at [the IF-Archive](https://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archive/games/pc/penguin/). There is also, however, a re-release of Transylvania also available for free from the Graphics Magician website which isn't yet supported.

As for the other Comprehend games, Talisman will likely be supported in the future, but it requires significant further work. The other remaining games like Transylvania III use a completely different engine, so will remain out of scope for the foreseeable future.

So if any of you are interested, try downloading the relevant games and give them a try. You will need a [daily development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots). As always, please submit the bug reports to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

_Nippon Safes Inc._ is Declared Freeware
 
20210317.content
Exciting news! Thanks to the tremendous effort of Damiano Gerli and the generosity of original game authors, Marco Caprelli, Paolo Costabel, Massimo Magnasciutti and producer Bruno Boz, we are happy to announce the freeware release of the game _Nippon Safes Inc._.

This is a small but fun game created in 1992 by the small Italian studio DYNABYTE divisione EUCLIDEA s.r.l. You can read about the game and the history of Dynabyte in more detail on Damiano’s Blog, [the Genesis Temple](https://genesistemple.com/the-big-italian-adventure-the-history-of-dynabyte-software).

Both DOS and Amiga versions have been declared freeware, with permission to modify the files, which makes it possible to disable the manual protection. Nevertheless, we are distributing scanned copies of the manual as well. You can grab your copies from our [games page](/games).

The game itself has been supported since ScummVM 0.10.0, which was released in 2007.

Have fun and enjoy another great freeware point-and-click adventure!

PS. If you happen to own boxes of _The Big Red Adventure_ and _Tequila & Boom Boom_ titles from the same developer and have the ability to provide high-res scans of those, please contact sev.

After many months of development Blazing Dragons is now ready for public testing.

Join young dragon Flicker as he attempts to win the hand of Princess Flame and save Camelhot along the way.

This is a rather odd Point and Click game as it was only released on Consoles.
ScummVM's new Dragons engine allows you to run the Playstation version of this somewhat forgotten title. Throw away that PS1 controller and enjoy the game with a mouse/keyboard interface. We've also taken out all the annoying loading screens.

Only the US and GB Playstation 1 versions are supported at the moment.

You will need a [daily development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots). As always, please submit the bug reports to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).
Nach vielen Monaten Entwicklungszeit ist die Entwicklung an Blazing Dragons nun soweit fortgeschritten, dass das Spiel getestet werden kann.

Begleite den jungen Drachen Flicker bei seinem Versuch, die Hand von Prinzessin Flame zu gewinnen und nebenbei noch Camelhot zu retten.

Blazing Dragon ist ein ziemlich ungewöhnliches Point-and-Click-Adventure, da es nur für Konsolen veröffentlicht wurde.
ScummVMs neue Dragons-Engine ermöglicht dir, die Playstation-Version dieses irgendwie in Vergessenheit geratenen Titels zu spielen. Wirf deinen PS1-Controller an die Wand und genieße das Spiel mit Maus und Tastatur. Wir haben auch die nervigen Ladezeiten entfernt.

Aktuell werden ausschließlich die US- und UK-Version des Spiels unterstützt.

Du benötigst eine aktuelle [Entwicklerversion](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) von ScummVM. Wie immer möchten wir dich darum bitten, gefundene Fehler in unserem [Bugtracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/) zu melden.

ScummVM Team is proud to announce support for a small freeware RPG game named <i>The Griffon Legend</i>. It was [originally](http://syn9.thehideoutgames.com/index_backup.php) written in the FreeBASIC programming language by Daniel "Syn9" Kennedy and later ported by Dmitry Smagin to the GCW0 console, which we base this port on.

The original story says:

>500 years after the Griffon-Dragon war, the Dragons have
returned to reclaim their empire. Cities are falling,
everyone is dieing, and the lone Griffon Knight Fayne is
caught up in the middle of it all.

Since the game is freeware, you may grab a copy directly from our game [downloads page](https://www.scummvm.org/games/) or from the [original site](http://syn9.thehideoutgames.com/index_backup.php?table=griffonlegend). You will need the latest [development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) to play it. Of course, if you encounter any bugs, please submit them to [our bug tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

Die Legende besagt:

<pre>500 Jahre nach dem Griffon-Drachen-Krieg, sind die Drachen
zurückgekehrt um ihr Reich zurück zu erobern. Städte fallen,
es gibt nur wenige Überlebende und der einsame Griffon-Ritter Fayne
ist zwischen allen Fronten gefangen.</pre>

Da das Spiel als Freeware freigegeben ist, kannst du es direkt von unserer [Website](https://www.scummvm.org/games/) oder von der [ursprünglichen Website der Entwickler](http://syn9.thehideoutgames.com/index_backup.php?table=griffonlegend) herunterladen.

A new release of ScummVM is ready. This is a thrilling one because we are embracing adventure games as far back as 1976! That’s right, the infamous _Colossal Cave Adventure_, the very first Interactive Fiction game, is now supported by ScummVM.

Besides that (and about 1594 other IF games), we now added 3 more game engines and extended another 4, thus adding the following games to the supported list:

* _Blazing Dragons_
* _Eye of the Beholder - Sega CD version_
* _Griffon Legend_
* _Interactive Fiction games_
* _Operation Stealth_
* _Police Quest: SWAT_
* _Prince and the Coward, English translation_
* _Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar_
* _Ultima VI - The False Prophet_
* _Ultima VIII - Pagan_

As you can see, we continue our exploration into the world of RPGs.

Other notable changes are: a fully rewritten MorphOS port; a new subsystem for automatic saves present in nearly every engine we support; Right-To-Left display support in our GUI; updated MT-32 emulation code and Discord Rich Presence.

We now support additional different game versions, and have noticeable improvements to Illusions, Kyra, Lab, Queen, Titanic, Xeen and ZVision engines. There is also improved support for Maniac Mansion, NES and Apple //gs versions. As usual, we continue fixing original SCI script bugs in over 30 games and added Roland D-110 soundtrack support to these games.

Of course, you can find the comprehensive Release Notes [here](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.2.0/ReleaseNotes.html).

Grab your copy from [our downloads page](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads), or, on Windows or macOS, let the automatic updater fetch it for you.

In addition, we will be releasing a new Android port into the Beta Channel and will need your help with testing. That would be great for us to get your feedback at [the Android Port subforum](https://forums.scummvm.org/viewforum.php?f=17).

Time to dive into a nice Interactive Fiction or fry some monsters in Ultima with a Blazing Fire, if you’re a dragon of course.
Eine neue Version von ScummVM steht bereit. Diese Version ist besonders spannend, denn wir reisen heute in das Jahr 1976 zurück! Richtig, das berühmte _Colossal Cave Adventure_, das erste Interactive Fiction-Spiel, wird ab sofort in ScummVM unterstützt.

Zusätzlich (neben ungefähr 1594 weiteren IF-Spielen) haben wir die Unterstützung für 3 weitere Spiele-Engines hinzugefügt und 4 bereits bestehende Engines erweitert. Damit können wir folgende Spiele zu unserer Kompatibilitätsliste hinzugefügen:

* _Blazing Dragons_
* _Eye of the Beholder - Sega CD version_
* _Griffon Legend_
* _Interactive Fiction games_
* _Operation Stealth_
* _Police Quest: SWAT_
* _Prince and the Coward, (englischsprachige Version)_
* _Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar_
* _Ultima VI - The False Prophet_
* _Ultima VIII - Pagan_

Wie du sehen kannst, arbeiten wir uns weiter in die Welt der RPGs ein.

Weitere nennenswerte Änderungen sind: Eine komplett neu entwickelte Portierung auf MorphOS; ein neues Subsystem für automatische Speicherstände, welches für nahezu jede unterstützte Spiele-Engine zur Verfügung steht; unsere Benutzeroberfläche unterstützt nun Sprachen, die von rechts nach links geschrieben werden; eine aktualisierte MT-32-Emulation und eine Discord-Integration über die Rich Presence-API.

Wir unterstützen nun zusätzliche Spiele-Versionen und haben der Illusions-, Kyra-, Lab-, Queen-, Titanic-, Xeen- und ZVision-Engines einige Verbesserungen spendiert. Zusätzlich wurde die Unterstützung für die NES- und Apple //gs-Versionen von Maniac Mansion verbessert. Wie üblich arbeiten wir auch weiter daran, Fehler in den Original-Skripten von über 30 SCI-Spielen zu korrigieren und haben für diese Spiele auch die Unterstützung für einen Roland D-110-Soundtrack entwickelt.

Eine umfangreiche Liste aller Änderungen findest du [hier](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scummvm/scummvm/v2.2.0/doc/de/NEUES.md).

Lade ScummVM gleich von unserer [Website](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads) herunter oder lass - sofern du Windows oder macOS nutzt - die automatische Aktualisierungsfunktion diese Aufgabe für dich erledigen.

Zusätzlich werden wir eine neue Android-Portierung im Beta-Channel des Play Store veröffentlichen und benötigen hier deine Unterstützung. Es wäre großartig, wenn du uns in unserem [Android-Forum](https://forums.scummvm.org/viewforum.php?f=17) über deine Erfahrungen mit der neuen Version berichten könntest.

Zeit, in die Tiefen der Interactive Fiction einzutauchen oder in Ultima mit einem Feuersturm einige Monster zu braten - natürlich nur, wenn du ein Drache bist.

*“Sorry for the wait Mr. Flores, I’m ready to take you now”*– Grim Fandango.

Today is a special day, special in a number of ways. First of all, we hit a milestone with 19 years of ScummVM. Our first-ever public release, ScummVM version 0.0.1, happened on October 8th, 2001. And second, something else finally happened, something which has been in the talks for a long time: The ScummVM project is officially merging with the ResidualVM project.

For a long time ScummVM limited itself to 2D point-and-click adventure games, and so ResidualVM was born as a sister project to support 3D games. But from now on, there will be no more confusion about which project a game belongs to. ScummVM now embraces adventure games and RPGs, whether they are 2D or 3D, point-and-click or not. It is a natural step for both projects which have been developed alongside each other and cross-pollinating each other with ideas, patches and design decisions. Moreover, several developers belonged to both projects.

With this merger, ScummVM adds several games to our supported list: _Grim Fandango_, _Escape from Monkey Island_, _Myst III - Exile_, _The Longest Journey_ and an unfinished engine for _In Cold Blood_, as well as Wintermute 3D engine.

We’re excited to embrace most of the ResidualVM team and will continue development together.

Of course, there are still more things to do and, in the coming weeks, you will see more project resources merging like forums, wikis, etc.

Stay tuned and go 3D!
*"Tut mir leid, dass Sie warten mussten, Mr. Flores. Ich habe jetzt Zeit für Sie"* – Grim Fandango.

Der heutige Tag ist in vielerlei Hinsicht ein ganz besonderer Tag. Vor 19 Jahren, am 08. Oktober 2001, haben wir mit ScummVM 0.0.1 die erste öffentliche Version von ScummVM veröffentlicht. Und etwas anderes geschieht heute - etwas, um das sich seit geraumer Zeit Gerüchte ranken, wird heute Wirklichkeit: ScummVM und ResidualVM schließen sich zusammen.

Für lange Zeit hat sich das ScummVM-Projekt auf die Unterstützung von 2D-Point-and-Click-Adventures beschränkt, weshalb ResidualVM als Schwersterprojekt geboren wurde, um die Unterstützung von 3D-Spielen zu verwirklichen. Jetzt gibt es keine Unterscheidung mehr, welches Spiel zu welchem der beiden Projekte gehört.

ScummVM unterstützt Adventures und RPGs, ganz gleich, ob 2D oder 3D; ob Point-and-Click oder nicht.

Für beide Projekte, die in der Vergangenheit eng zusammengearbeitet, gegenseitig Ideen eingebracht, Patches beigesteuert und Design-Entscheidungen getroffen haben, ist dieser Zusammenschluss der nächste natürliche Entwicklungsschritt.

Mit dieser Ankündigung wird die Liste der von ScummVM unterstützten Spiele um _Grim Fandango_, _Escape from Monkey Island_, _Myst III - Exile_, _The Longes Journey_ und eine noch nicht fertiggestellte Engine für _In Cold Blood_ erweitert. Wir freuen uns, die meisten Mitglieder des ResidualVM-Teams bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen und gemeinsam mit ihnen an der Weiterentwicklung des Projektes zu arbeiten.

Natürlich gibt es jetzt noch einiges zu tun. In den nächsten Wochen werden wir weiter daran arbeiten, zusätzliche Ressourcen wie unsere Foren und Wikis zusammenzuführen.

Sei dabei - jetzt auch in 3D!

Our new and shiny Android port for ScummVM v2.2.1 is now live on the Google Play Store. After quite a long period of dedicated work from our team developers, and a month of public beta testing by members of our community who helpfully reported quite a few issues for us to address, we are finally ready to give you the stable release for our ScummVM Android app.

This app has been significantly re-written and tested on modern Android devices, running up to Android 10+. It includes new features which bring it up to speed with the desktop ScummVM application, such as FluidSynth support, Cloud Saves and more localization choices for the UI. Also included is the Local File Server (LAN) feature, whereby your device can act as a temporary file server allowing you to download files (eg. save files and even the config file) or upload new ones (eg. game data) using a web browser from a PC or another client.

With this release we have resolved a few long standing issues such as:

* upgrading from previous versions without losing access to your previous configuration and save files
* folder navigation (based on storage access permission settings)
* Working special keys on the virtual keyboard (such as F-keys) as well as handling of repeated keys

Other significant improvements have been made to the interface of the application, such as the ability to choose whether the GUI will feature filtered graphics (bilinear scaling) or not (nearest neighbor scaling), several fixes for the virtual keyboard behavior to make it more responsive and closer emulate the behavior of a physical keyboard, and support for virtual mouse control using the analogue joystick from your controller.

By upgrading to the new 2.2.1 version you will be able to enjoy support for all the game engines that have been introduced on ScummVM since 2.0.0, such as Blade Runner, Ultima IV, Quest for Glory IV, as well as all the bug fixes and improvements made to the existing ones.

Of course we continue to monitor our community’s feedback and welcome any suggestions for improvement. As always, please report any bugs you encounter on the ScummVM [bug tracker site](https://bugs.scummvm.org).

We thank all our beta testers for their most valuable feedback and hope that you enjoy this version of ScummVM Android.
Unsere neue Android-Portierung von ScummVM v2.2.1 ist nun über den Google Play Store erhältlich. Nach einer langen Phase harter Arbeit unserer Entwickler und einer Testphase von einem Monat durch die Mitglieder unserer Community, die uns durch ihr Feedback geholfen hat, einige Probleme zu beheben, sind wir nun endlich bereit, eine neue, stabile Version von ScummVM für Android freizugeben.

Die App wurde zu großen Teilen komplett neu geschrieben und auf aktuellen Android-Geräten mit einer Android-Version von 10 und höher getestet. Sie enthält nun auch einige Features, die uns näher an die Desktop-Version von ScummVM bringen, wie beispielsweise Unterstützung für FluidSynth, Cloud-Spielstände und weitere Lokalisierungs-Optionen für die Benutzeroberfläche. Neu hinzugekommen ist auch das LAN-Feature, mit dem dein Android-Gerät temporär als Fileserver arbeiten kann, sodass du über einen Web-Browser Dateien (Spielstände, die Konfigurationsdatei, Spiel-Daten) auf andere Geräte herunterladen kannst.

Diese Version behebt einige Probleme, die seit längerem bestehen.

* Ein Update von einer älteren Version behält nun deine Konfigurationsdatei und die Spielstände bei
* Verbesserte Unterstützung für die Verzeichnis-Navigation (basierend auf den Android-Berechtigungen)
* Funktionierende Sondertasten auf der virtuellen Tastatur (wie die F-Tasten) sowie die Behandlung wiederholter Tastendrücke

Zusätzlich haben wir noch weitere Verbesserungen an der App vorgenommen. So kannst du jetzt auswählen, ob die Benutzeroberfläche mit einem Grafikfilter dargestellt werden soll (bilineare Filterung) oder nicht; mehrere Verbesserungen an der virtuellen Tastatur lassen diese deutlich schneller arbeiten, sodass diese deutlich näher an dem Verhalten einer "echten" Tastatur ist. Die virtuelle Maus kann jetzt auch über den Analog-Stick deines Controllers angesteuert werden.

Durch das Update auf die neue Version 2.2.1 wirst du auch in den Genuss aller Spiele-Engines kommen, die seit der Version 2.0.0 zu ScummVM hinzugekommen sind. Darunter fallen etwa Blade Runner, Ultima IV, Quest for Glory IV sowie alle Fehlerbehebungen und Verbesserungen an allen anderen Engines.

Natürlich beobachten wir das Feedback unserer Community genau und freuen uns sehr über alle Verbesserungsvorschläge. Wie üblich solltest du alle Fehler direkt in unserem Bug-Tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org) melden.

Wir möchten allen Beta-Testern für ihr Feedback danken und hoffen, dass dir diese Android-Version von ScummVM gefällt.

Once upon a time in the past - around the year 1994 - a software company called Adeline Software International released a game titled “Little Big Adventure” or “Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure”. This game, a classic pseudo-3D action adventure game with an epic story set on a fantastic planet, has now entered the testing stage in ScummVM. Please, note that a few features of the original game are not implemented yet. However, we also added a few features which are new for the game.

Features not available yet and known issues:

* The holomap is not yet available
* Changing the rendering details is not supported yet
* The credits sequence has a few rendering bugs

New features:

* An option to disable wall collision damage
* Improved UI navigation

This was all made possible by the people behind the [TwinEngine](https://github.com/xesf/twin-e) project and the LBA community.

Please test the game with the latest [development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) and report any issues you find on our [bug tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

In 2019, Andrei Prykhodko (whiterandrek), a GSoC student, was working on support for the Red Comrades game series (Russian: Петька и Василий Иванович).

Red Comrades is a 2D adventure game played from a third-person perspective.
The game's protagonists are from Dmitri Furmanov's 1923 novel Chapaev: historical Russian military figure Vasiliy Chapayev, his aide Petka, and the machine gunner, Anka.

After a long time in development, the ScummVM team is happy to announce support for the first two games in the series: _Red Comrades 1: Save the Galaxy_ (Russian: _Петька и Василий Иванович спасают галактику_) and _Red Comrades 2: For the Great Justice_ (Russian: _Петька и Василий Иванович 2: Судный день_).

So break out your copies of the games and give them a try! Unfortunately, only the original Russian Windows versions are supported. The English versions for iOS and Android use a completely different engine.

If you don’t own a copy, you can get the demo from our [demos section](https://www.scummvm.org/demos/). You will need a [daily development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots). As always, please submit the bug reports to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

It's time to announce testing for a further two Glk subengines. The first is the Glulx interpreter, for which there are many free games available at [the IF-Archive](https://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXglulx.html).

The second is the Comprehend engine games developed by Polarware. Here's where things get a bit more complicated. At the moment, only the first three Comprehend games are ready for testing - Transylvania, Crimson Crown, and OO-Topos. These three are also freely available at [the IF-Archive](https://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archive/games/pc/penguin/). There is also, however, a re-release of Transylvania also available for free from the Graphics Magician website which isn't yet supported.

As for the other Comprehend games, Talisman will likely be supported in the future, but it requires significant further work. The other remaining games like Transylvania III use a completely different engine, so will remain out of scope for the foreseeable future.

So if any of you are interested, try downloading the relevant games and give them a try. You will need a [daily development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots). As always, please submit the bug reports to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

We are thrilled to announce that the ScummVM project was once again accepted for Google Summer of Code. This is always an exciting part of the year for us and this year is no different. For 2021 the GSoC program has been revamped by Google to be focused on smaller tasks and eligibility criteria for the students were relaxed.

With this in mind, our team has several exciting ideas for prospective applicants to explore, all of which can be found on our [ideas page](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2021). Please review the [information we expect in your application](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=GSoC_Application) before submitting it.

You can learn more about the GSoC program and the tasks our cohorts contributed to in previous years in our [Google Summer of Code miniportal](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code).

So join us in 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.

Google Summer of Code 2021: On

Exciting news! Thanks to the tremendous effort of Damiano Gerli and the generosity of original game authors, Marco Caprelli, Paolo Costabel, Massimo Magnasciutti and producer Bruno Boz, we are happy to announce the freeware release of the game _Nippon Safes Inc._.

This is a small but fun game created in 1992 by the small Italian studio DYNABYTE divisione EUCLIDEA s.r.l. You can read about the game and the history of Dynabyte in more detail on Damiano’s Blog, [the Genesis Temple](https://genesistemple.com/the-big-italian-adventure-the-history-of-dynabyte-software).

Both DOS and Amiga versions have been declared freeware, with permission to modify the files, which makes it possible to disable the manual protection. Nevertheless, we are distributing scanned copies of the manual as well. You can grab your copies from our [games page](/games).

The game itself has been supported since ScummVM 0.10.0, which was released in 2007.

Have fun and enjoy another great freeware point-and-click adventure!

PS. If you happen to own boxes of _The Big Red Adventure_ and _Tequila & Boom Boom_ titles from the same developer and have the ability to provide high-res scans of those, please contact sev.

A new release of ScummVM is ready. This is a thrilling one because we are embracing adventure games as far back as 1976! That’s right, the infamous _Colossal Cave Adventure_, the very first Interactive Fiction game, is now supported by ScummVM.

Besides that (and about 1594 other IF games), we now added 3 more game engines and extended another 4, thus adding the following games to the supported list:

* _Blazing Dragons_
* _Eye of the Beholder - Sega CD version_
* _Griffon Legend_
* _Interactive Fiction games_
* _Operation Stealth_
* _Police Quest: SWAT_
* _Prince and the Coward, English translation_
* _Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar_
* _Ultima VI - The False Prophet_
* _Ultima VIII - Pagan_

As you can see, we continue our exploration into the world of RPGs.

Other notable changes are: a fully rewritten MorphOS port; a new subsystem for automatic saves present in nearly every engine we support; Right-To-Left display support in our GUI; updated MT-32 emulation code and Discord Rich Presence.

We now support additional different game versions, and have noticeable improvements to Illusions, Kyra, Lab, Queen, Titanic, Xeen and ZVision engines. There is also improved support for Maniac Mansion, NES and Apple //gs versions. As usual, we continue fixing original SCI script bugs in over 30 games and added Roland D-110 soundtrack support to these games.

Of course, you can find the comprehensive Release Notes [here](https://wwwdownloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.2.0/ReleaseNotes.html).

Grab your copy from [our downloads page](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads), or, on Windows or macOS, let the automatic updater fetch it for you.

In addition, we will be releasing a new Android port into the Beta Channel and will need your help with testing. That would be great for us to get your feedback at [the Android Port subforum](https://forums.scummvm.org/viewforum.php?f=17).

Time to dive into a nice Interactive Fiction or fry some monsters in Ultima with a Blazing Fire, if you’re a dragon of course.

Eine neue Version von ScummVM steht bereit. Diese Version ist besonders spannend, denn wir reisen heute in das Jahr 1976 zurück! Richtig, das berühmte _Colossal Cave Adventure_, das erste Interactive Fiction-Spiel, wird ab sofort in ScummVM unterstützt.

Zusätzlich (neben ungefähr 1594 weiteren IF-Spielen) haben wir die Unterstützung für 3 weitere Spiele-Engines hinzugefügt und 4 bereits bestehende Engines erweitert. Damit können wir folgende Spiele zu unserer Kompatibilitätsliste hinzugefügen:

* _Blazing Dragons_
* _Eye of the Beholder - Sega CD version_
* _Griffon Legend_
* _Interactive Fiction games_
* _Operation Stealth_
* _Police Quest: SWAT_
* _Prince and the Coward, (englischsprachige Version)_
* _Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar_
* _Ultima VI - The False Prophet_
* _Ultima VIII - Pagan_

Wie du sehen kannst, arbeiten wir uns weiter in die Welt der RPGs ein.

Weitere nennenswerte Änderungen sind: Eine komplett neu entwickelte Portierung auf MorphOS; ein neues Subsystem für automatische Speicherstände, welches für nahezu jede unterstützte Spiele-Engine zur Verfügung steht; unsere Benutzeroberfläche unterstützt nun Sprachen, die von rechts nach links geschrieben werden; eine aktualisierte MT-32-Emulation und eine Discord-Integration über die Rich Presence-API.

Wir unterstützen nun zusätzliche Spiele-Versionen und haben der Illusions-, Kyra-, Lab-, Queen-, Titanic-, Xeen- und ZVision-Engines einige Verbesserungen spendiert. Zusätzlich wurde die Unterstützung für die NES- und Apple //gs-Versionen von Maniac Mansion verbessert. Wie üblich arbeiten wir auch weiter daran, Fehler in den Original-Skripten von über 30 SCI-Spielen zu korrigieren und haben für diese Spiele auch die Unterstützung für einen Roland D-110-Soundtrack entwickelt.

Eine umfangreiche Liste aller Änderungen findest du [hier](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scummvm/scummvm/v2.2.0/doc/de/NEUES.md).

Lade ScummVM gleich von unserer [Website](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads) herunter oder lass - sofern du Windows oder macOS nutzt - die automatische Aktualisierungsfunktion diese Aufgabe für dich erledigen.

Zusätzlich werden wir eine neue Android-Portierung im Beta-Channel des Play Store veröffentlichen und benötigen hier deine Unterstützung. Es wäre großartig, wenn du uns in unserem [Android-Forum](https://forums.scummvm.org/viewforum.php?f=17) über deine Erfahrungen mit der neuen Version berichten könntest.

Zeit, in die Tiefen der Interactive Fiction einzutauchen oder in Ultima mit einem Feuersturm einige Monster zu braten - natürlich nur, wenn du ein Drache bist.
