Another ScummVM port ruining old games
The one star is for the ScummVM ports GOG uses. I just played Larry 1 here on GoG. It turned out you can steal things and walk out of the shop, and the shopkeeper doesn't shoot you like he does in the original DOS version. That's enough. It tells you everything you need to know. After having seen a bunch of other games (Space Quest, Lure Of The Temptress, etc.) that also use ScummVM... I can guarantee you that the game is broken and you won't have the authentic experience. Why? Well, any adventure game that's not made by LucasArts, that is, any game that has any hint of simulation - NPCs going around, reacting to your actions, any adventure game in which it matters where you step and when you do stuff, any game that has more conditions and consequences than a LucasArts game, has broken scripts that don't trigger and has its systems broken by the ScummVM ports. I have to make the conclusion that we should avoid the ScummVM logo like the plague. It's so incredibly wrong that ScummVM (a messy hobby project) is now the official, highly trusted thing that Steam and GoG use for their "museum" versions of the games for more than a decade. I paid for the games because that's the right thing to do, but sadly, to experience them correctly, you should get them from an abandonware site and use DOSBox.
