Adventure interpreter: ScummVM 2.2.0
The developer 'NovaCoder' has been porting the adventure interpreter ScummVM to AmigaOS 3 for a long time: while there are current implementations of version 1.9 for RTG Amigas and AGA Amigas with 68060 processor, the version for AGA Amigas with 68030 processor (and up) is based on version 1.5 and dates from 2015.

Now there is another approach: the English developer Robin 'betajaen' Southern has created a fork based on the build of 'mheyer32' and released versions of ScummVM 2.2.0 for AmigaOS 3 (030, 040 and 060 processor). As he writes, he does not want to hinder 'NovaCoders' work. He added support for arrow keys, GAME tooltypes and EGA palette changes to the 'mheyer32' build and reduced the start-up time. Furthermore, he said, he is focusing on Sierra's game engine SCI, as he plays Police Quest 2 on Twitch, which requires arrow keys for gameplay. Joysticks are also supported.

In separate executables he has also included support for AGI and SCUMM. The developer has more or less tested the following games with an Amiga 1200 (Vampire) under AmigaOS 3.2.1:
  • SCI - Police Quest 2
  • SCI - Colonel's Bequest
  • SCI - Codename: Iceman
  • SCI - Kings' Quest IV
  • AGI - Police Quest 1
  • AGI - King's Quest III
  • SCUMM - Maniac Mansion
  • SCUMM - Zak McKracken
  • SCUMM - Monkey Island 1
  • SCUMM - Monkey Island 2
  • SCUMM - Fate of Atlantis
