I also remember playing Sam & Max and Full Throttle on Palm and Pocket PC PDA's via SCUMM ports ... sweet stuff! It is interesting how other companies are getting in on the 'good old games' theme - GamersGate and Direct2Drive and Steam and Impulse all have a selection of older games for cheap money. An older Russian RPG called 'Evil Islands' came up in a discussion the other day and I found it for $9.99 at GamersGate ... it isn't great, but it is decent fun and well worth the money.

Heck some of these even work on Android or any platform that has SCUMMVM! I love gog.com! By the way some of the Lucas Films games and more will work in Linux under SCUMMVM.
