The most impressive part of the story for me:
"Strigeus, who left in early 2002, went on to develop several more open-source projects, most notably OpenTTD—a remake and expansion of Chris Sawyer's classic sim game Transport Tycoon Deluxe. He also authored BitTorrent client µTorrent, which was purchased by BitTorrent, Inc. in 2006, and was chief architect of the Spotify beta."<p>It appears as though the only significant piece of software written by this guy which I haven't used extensively is Spotify, and that's just because it isn't supported in South Africa yet.
Does anybody know the name of this game, please?!<p><a href="http://static.arstechnica.com/scummvm-history/scummvm-android.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://static.arstechnica.com/scummvm-history/scummvm-androi...</a>
Kept adventure gaming alive? There have been plenty of great adventure games since 2001, but this article was mostly about life support...<p>(It's also always worth mentioning the continuing interactive fiction, the precursor for adventure games. <a href="http://pr-if.org/play/" rel="nofollow">http://pr-if.org/play/</a> is a good starting place.)
