Hopkins
Engine developer dreammaster, strangerke
Companies that used it MP Entertainment
Games that use it Hopkins FBI
Date added to ScummVM 2013-02-24
First release containing it 1.6.0

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.
