ScummVM v1.1.1 Classic Point and Click adventures on PSP

The ScummVM team have just released an update to their classic point and click adventure emulator. This latest version dubbed “Better Version” has increased support for games, as well as some bug fixes. If your an “old” gamer like myself (Still in my 20s) you would have played a few of these titles in their hay day.

I grew up playing classic point and click adventures on my trusty old Amiga 500, games like Lure of a Temptress, Beneath a Steel Sky, Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken etc.

Ahh the good old days, where games were in 2d and actually had good original stories behind them. Guess most of PSH fanbase is too young to even have heard of the half of these games.
