Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Lucasfilm Games Adventure C64 port gets an update!

Can't we have at least get a Zac McKracken for ourselves?

What do you think? Is the CPC not capable to handle even the most primal of the SCUMM offerings?

Sure it is... Just require to seriously work on the project.  :-\
Personally, I think the best will be to port SCUMM instead of redo each "Lucas games".

Or at least, any "adventure maker" pc-IDE that let us create scumm style aventures, a lot of people have said before that they want to do point & click adventures on CPC.

Orion Prime is a superb point & click adventure, it was a good start... but we really need an integrated IDE where the important thing is the script and the graphics, and let the hardwork of coding to the IDE itself...

I'm pretty sure that if such an IDE exist, then a lot of lucas adventures will be converted by nature...

Hmm, do you think the Fate of Atlantis for C64 is running on SCUMM? Or is it stand-alone?

Based on the annotations on the video, it looks like they're implementing the game themselves, based on the original.

Porting SCUMM would be quite difficult I think.
