=== About === | |||
Residual is a [[About|ScummVM]] sub-project to play [[LucasArts]]' [http://www.lua.org LUA]-based 3D adventures. [[Grim Fandango]] support is in progress, but gameplay is still incomplete and unstable. There is no support for [[Escape from Monkey Island]]. Support for this game may be added in the distant future, but this is far from promised. | |||
=== | The main ScummVM program can run LucasArts 2D [[SCUMM]] adventures (among others). Residual is named such as it aims to do the same for the residual (remaining) games. It is also a word pun, as the engine used in these LUA-based adventures is called GrimE (as opposed to SCUMM). Grime is a type of residue. | ||
Basic gameplay works, including cutscenes, but many features are either missing or unstable. Save/load support is incomplete. | |||
