scummVM is a "gameVM" written by LucasArts.
"Another World" did something similar.
So it was pretty common on old days (near '90).
- jayd16 5y agoIts still pretty common to create a scripting language, especially when you need loop holes around AOT compiles. Although its not the only language and usually not from scratch. For a while "some kind of LUA" was pretty popular.
- city41 5y agoSierra games of the era also did this, very similar to how scummVM works.
- kayamon 5y agoScumm etc are only writing the game in their own language, not the entire engine. The engine remains in C/asm/whatever.
