Date added to ScummVM 2013-02-24
First release containing it N/A

The Hopkins engine was used by MP Entertainment for the game Hopkins FBI, the only game they ever published. The game was released for several different operating systems, and due to a fortunate oversight, debug information (names of variables and methods) was left embedded in most of the applications. This made it much easier to reverse engineer and implement a ScummVM engine.

Status

  • All full and demo versions are completable
  • Windows full version is completable, but the Doom-like maze isn't implemented. Instead, the game draws it's own very basic map screen.
  • Polish, Russian and Spanish versions are yet to be tested, because they are not owned by developers
  • A complete test on a BE system is yet to be done. There's a reported glitch on the mouse cursor, when displaying an icon. More tests required.

TODO

TODO list

Original bugs fixed

  • In the "Empty Lot", the animation when searching the empty box was corrupted and was crashing the game
  • In the FBI Lab, a STE opcode was missing, which means the savegames were problematic in the lab
  • In the factory, the animation when searching the desk was corrupted and crashing the game
  • The credit file is missing on the CD of the BeOS version
  • In Samantha's Office and in the factory's surveillance room, several hotspots were erroneously active and displaying a description
