Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the cease and desist email sent by LucasArts to the ScummVM developers, asking for the project to be taken down. My first exposure to ScummVM was Slashdot reporting on that story.
The first game that ScummVM supported was Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, which was released 11 years earlier. It will turn 33 later this year.
11, 22, 33... There's a nice symmetry here, but boy does it make me feel old.
