A long time ago, in 2013, Kamil Zbróg and Łukasz Wątka, a GSoC student, were working on support for the game *The Prince and the Coward* or *Książę i Tchórz*, as it was called originally in Polish. The game engine sat in limbo, however, because we were trying to work on the English translation. Unfortunately, that work is only about ¼th done, and we need your help. Nevertheless, we would like to announce support for this game. All released versions are supported, including Polish original, German release and the Russian translation. Take your copy of the game and give it a try. You will need a [daily development build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) for that. As always, please submit the bug reports to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/). Also, if you happen to know Polish, German, or Russian, you are welcome to help us with the translation. The short instructions are provided [here](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Prince#Translation). Powodzenia!
We need you! Join the Supernova crew for an unforgettable journey to witness the death of a star. Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut? Being abandoned on your own on a broken spaceship? Dying asphyxiated? Being electrocuted? Being shot at? Getting lost in a pyramid? Being caught stealing a dinosaur's head and being sent to prison? And if that is not enough you can even disable the improved mode in ScummVM and experience the frustration of clicking and pointing your way through a twenty-five years old computer game. We are proud to announce that *Mission Supernova Teil 1: Das Schicksal des Horst Hummel* and *Mission Supernova Teil 2: Der Doppelgänger* are now both supported in ScummVM. In addition we have also translated both games to English and you can decide to play either in German or English. The games can be downloaded for free [on the developer's website](http://outpost.simplicity.de/), so you have no reason not to play it! Please help us test the games and report any bugs or translation issue you find on [our issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/). You will need [a recent version of ScummVM](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) and [the supernova.dat file](https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/dists/engine-data/supernova.dat) (if it is not included in the ScummVM package for your platform).

*Duckman: The Graphic Adventures of a Private Dick* is an obscure point and click game based on the TV show of the same name. You control the wise cracking detective Duckman as he attempts to regain his identity after being unceremoniously dumped from his own TV show. The game's release for Windows in 1997 unfortunately coincided with the TV show being cancelled, which limited the distribution of the game. After a long time in development, the ScummVM team is happy to announce support for the game. Make sure to grab [a recent build](https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots) and give it a try. Please report any bugs that you find to [our issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/). The English, German and Demo versions are supported. You just need the DATA/ directory from the original game to play.
