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.

Games

Status

  • Linux full version and demo are completable
  • Windows demos 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 and Spanish versions are yet to be tested, because they are not owned by developers
  • OS/2 and BeOS may contain specific glitches. They don't require the Doom-like level and may be completable. They require a playthrough.
  • Testing on a BE system is yet to be done. Based on current tests, RGB issues during intro and some slowdown music issues have been detected. More tests required.
