I've been playing the Humongous junior adventures with my four year old. They're so good. Funny, charming, beautifully animated, and with great lead characters that are excellent role models for kids. Tami and co did an incredible job on them, and I hope to shine a light on that in the documentary.
Another of our initial batch of confirmed cast members is Tami Borowick, a co-writer on Monkey Island 2 and a key figure from Humongous Entertainment's "Junior Adventures" series. Her favourite HE character is Freddi Fish. "I lived in her fins for her first three games," Tami told me over email.

Some of you will have already heard, but I'm delighted to share that @davidbfox.com will be in our cast of interviewees for the SCUMM documentary. He was there right at the beginning of SCUMM and helped out on all the early LucasArts adventures, as well as leading the design of Zak McKracken.

The newest stable version of ScummVM has been released. Among numerous improvements, the program now natively supports game data from Special Editions of Monkey Island 1/2, meaning that you can now play classic version of these games with speech without having to build "Ultimate Talkie" versions.
ScummVM :: Latest Developments :: ScummVM 2026.1.0 "Like a Version" is finally released
Another year has gone by, therefore we are releasing a new ScummVM version. As you may notice right away, we are changing our version numbering schema, but that’s not all! We are also planning on more...

This cover of FM Towns #ZakMcKracken still bugs me. We got Fujitsu to put more clothes on Annie Larris, but they wouldn't change the damsel in distress/fawning pose. I made sure to make all the women in Zak to be self-sufficient, strong, smart, problem-solving, and this totally went against that.
The Japanese FM Towns box art for Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders re-imagines the game's visual style under a totally different cultural tradition. Painted by Hikaru Yuzuki.

Zak McKracken designer David Fox popping in with a bit of trivia about the FM Towns box cover.
This was the "tamed down" version of the cover. The original had Annie Larris wearing a micro-mini skirt. My wife @anniefox.com, who the character was named for, was not having it, and I agreed. We got them to put more clothes on her (still hated the out-of-character damsel in distress pose).

It's Guybrush-ception. Very clever, loving triple self-portrait from t-shirt designer and graphic artist jasesa.

Indy's office in #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade is filled with Easter eggs from our earlier #SCUMM games... how many can you spot?
Years before they Hit the Road, Sam & Max made their on-screen debut as wooden totems in Dr Jones's office in the first Indy adventure game. Their creator Steve Purcell worked as a background artist and animator (and also the cover artist) on the game.

I still get the giggles every time I see or play the Mad Marty dialogue from Secret of Monkey Island.
He's Maaaad Marty, and he's mad about getting your clothes the cleanest they can be. He doesn’t hear or see so well, though.

There's a secret animation hidden in the data files for Freddi Fish and the Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds where Freddi lets Eddie eat Luther. Artist Tom Verre drew this one day to let off steam. You can enable it by modifying the game's HEINI file.
