The agreement you've mentioned is what Nimbus had with Atari. Windows TV wrote:Tommo owns Humongous they can do what ever they choose to do with it. You seem to know quite a lot about the inner workings of HE, though. What seems the most likely is that they had received the source code, but decided to take the lazy route and use ScummVM's code as a basis instead due to it being more port-friendly. Plus, Mistic Software clearly had the tools to edit the games, and used higher quality versions of some HE music tracks for their menus. If Atari themselves had ordered this move, then that would be even worse, especially considering they threatened to counter-sue the ScummVM team for reverse-engineering their games after the truth was uncovered. It was always implied that their plagiarism of ScummVM was entirely their decision, with Atari not even knowing about it. I'm not aware of there being any programmers among them.īut it would also be extremely surprising if Mistic Software really didn't get the HE SCUMM source code. To my understanding, that was just a tiny sub-division of Atari consisting of a handful of former HE employees who had some limited involvement with anything HE-related the company did for a couple years. I recently ordered a copy of the 2007 version of Freddi Fish 1, so I should be able to confirm who was responsible for them once it's arrived. I thought I remembered Mistic Software being involved in the 2007 rereleases, but I could be wrong about that.
