Orvina VS scummvm

Orvina Text Search is a FAST, multithreaded file text searching tool. The engine is also available as a nuget package if you want to integrate it into your own project or UI.

While working in Orvina, performance increased dramatically with a careful selection of locks to upgrade to spin locks - and the effort was less trouble than what was expected.

check out Orvina, one of the fastest grep like tools out there.

I worked on Orvina and built a custom, mini regex engine in .net 6. I'll have to try .net 7 and see if I can delete my code :)

Check out Orvina. Search all my text files for "lisa"

The newest version supports * and ? wildcards and case matching, enabling a more powerful text search without getting into the complexities of a full regex text search (grep).

u/d10sfan has added ScummVM port for Sanitarium to Luxtorpeda repos. Thanks to that, modern port of the game can be played as a Steam game.

SCUMM VM is now like that, plenty of Point and Click games https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm

It's a long shot, but some old games are available via https://www.scummvm.org/

Ultima 6 - I use ScummVM to play it. It's a great engine that provides a layer of UI compatibility over the game.

The game is "Beneath A Steel Sky", an old school point and click adventure. And though the graphics are pixel style, they are still very well done, and the game and story are still great. The emulator is ScummVM. There's some other games that were released as freeware.

ScummVM, which has been working on Adobe Director support, can detect the game (thank you @mistydemeo <3), but trying to run it will softlock you on the game's title screen, unable to click anything. It's likely this will be fixed in the future, but for now I can't recommend it for this particular game.
