Maybe the team could make a list of games they want to support in future, sorted by priority, that would prevent our questions about it.

Wow! I had no idea there was a Hook adventure game. I wonder if it's any good...
The screenshots remind me of the art/rendering style from the Gobliiiins series, whether or not that means anything.

For this to happen you at least need someone who has the game to be willing and capable to write the ScummVM code.
The Wikipedia entry on this game is a one-liner and the DOS version is not for sale on Ebay atm. This game appears to be really obscure. The chances of ScummVM support happening are not that big then.

You personally know people in the development team, sev? Sounds pretty awesome!
I actually bought an original PC copy of this on eBay a while back for a fairly hefty sum (roughly £32!), but was rather annoyed to find that I can't get it working properly under DOSBox atm. The installation program keeps reporting an error after it finishes installing the files (the disks are 100% perfect from the way I've been able to copy everything off them I think), and I think it may be linked to the problem after you start the game where everything runs rather slow, your inventory looks empty (you're supposed to start off with four items usually), and you can't leave the first area at all. Not sure if this is an obscure protection check or not. Might ask on VOGONS about it.
BTW, a DOS copy can still be sought after on here for the time being. I personally think the Amiga version is better though (and I've yet to try the ST port).

I had the Amiga version back in the day, I'm sure.
If I remember right, I wasn't expecting very much from it (big movie tie-ins are often quickly thrown together without bothering much about the quality), but I ended up really enjoying it. Definitely worth playing if you can track it down.
