It's a bit more serious and has a sci-fi theme, but "The Dig" is also a very good Scumm Engine adventure with a cinematic presenation, great animation and epic cutscenes (for the time). Main character is voiced by Robert Patrick btw (from Terminator 2).
It's an adventure game that was originally a movie concept from Steven Spielberg, but was to expensive (special effects) to do as a movie. Therefor Lucas Arts stepped in and created the game. ILM did the special effects and 3d-animation for the game and the whole game has a "Full Throttle"-ish look to it, same style of character sprites and animation, just a little bit more "realistic" (no over the top broad chested guys). The World you explore is very imaginitive and has a great atmosphere, lil background sounds like a distant thunderstorm, water, "birds" and the superb music all make it a living breathing world. It has some great humor, plot twists, amazing puzzles and you'll be curious what lies beyond the closed doors and obstacles. I have the soundtrack too, very relaxing tunes to listen to, if you want a sample, just add me on msn messenger: [email protected].
But if you're not really into Sci-Fi and were looking for more "Biker gang" themed like adventures... then no, this is not for you.
