bstone VS scummvm

Thank you for your reply! I had also sent a message to the dev. He responded with a fix and after a pull request it compiles now!

There is a very good source port now which I hope redresses the balance a bit.

So basically I have Blake Stone Aliens of Gold imported from GOG. But I have been playing it using the BStone source port. I would like to know how I can make Playnite launch the source port instead of the original shortcut from GOG.

BStone - Blake Stone series

Can't speak to ROTT, but for Blake Stone: https://github.com/bibendovsky/bstone

u/d10sfan has added BStone source port for Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold and Blake Stone: Planet Strike; rottexpr source port for Rise of the Triad that are part of The Apogee Throwback Pack to Luxtorpeda repos. Thanks to that, native Linux ports of those games can be played as Steam games.

ScummVM - Engine to run DOS Point & Click Adventure games. C++, SDL2, OpenGL

They're now affiliated with ZoomPlatform, if you want to both buy DRM-free and support ScummVM: https://www.scummvm.org/news/20230830/ , https://www.scummvm.org/ (link on right under PayPal)

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.
