Another World was integrated for a short period of time causing a brief but heated discussion, ranging from emotional to purely technical aspects. Some felt it was more of an action game than an adventure game, others worried that ScummVM, being geared towards bitmapped graphics, really was not the ideal platform for a polygon-based game. The discussion was rendered moot when the raw project was officially closed by its author, at the request of Eric Chahi.

Possible future games The following games will be supported once the team receives the source code: Discworld 1 & 2 were accepted as future supported games in ScummVM, and they will be implemented after the developers receive the source code. All legal negotiations have been completed, but there have been problems obtaining the source code from the only person currently known to have it.

AGI engine addition At 2006-05-24 the Adventure Game Interpreter engine was added. It's based on Sarien code, an AGI interpreter, but sadly outdated and known for being buggy in some ways (that now it's being solved in the new ScummVM engine). The ScummVM's AGI engine is in an early phase of converting to C++ and improving it in many ways (like fixing bugs). Sarien project stopped its development, continuing the development into ScummVM's AGI engine. There has also been discussions regarding the possible implementation of TrollVM into ScummVM, for playing pre-AGI games. 2006 (MMVI) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Getting the games Due to copyright restrictions, ScummVM does not include the game data, so users have to own copies of the games. The age of the original releases means that many of them are available in relatively cheap compilations, such as the LucasArts Classics collection.
During the development cycle leading up to the 0.5.0 release on August 2, 2003, game manufacturer Revolution Software not only helped ScummVM developers add support for their adventure Beneath a Steel Sky by supplying them with the original source code, but also decided to release both the CD and the floppy version of the game as freeware, available for download on the ScummVM website. A few months later, the owners of Flight of the Amazon Queen made it freeware in very much the same way.

Unfortunately the cut scenes from Broken Sword 1 and 2 do not work "out of the box". This is due to their cut scenes being encoded in the Smacker format, which requires specialised software to be decoded. RAD Game Tools is unwilling to open up the older versions of the Smacker video format and has asked the ScummVM team to not reverse-engineer it[citation needed]. Revolution Software however, has allowed the re-encoded versions of these cut scenes to be downloaded for free from the ScummVM website.
