401: Classic LucasArts Adventures: The SCUMM Engine's Development Pt 2 - The Retro Hour EP401

In part two of our epic interview with the SCUMM Engine's co-creator Aric Wilmunder, we venture further into its evolution through the lens of iconic titles. Aric reminisces on the technical and collaborative strides from 'Monkey Island 2', 'Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis', and shares intriguing insights on the friendly rivalry with Sierra. We explore the auditory dimension added by Skywalker Sounds, the engine shuffle in 'The Dig', and how the INSANE video engine accelerated 'Full Throttle's development. As 'The Curse of Monkey Island' marks the engine’s finale, Aric reflects on SCUMM’s legacy, the ScummVM project, and his current endeavours in the gaming arena.
