  • ScummVM ☛ Off to Adibou's Land of Sciences!

    We are happy to announce that ScummVM now supports Adibou 2: Nature & Sciences, a 1998 expansion of Coktel Vision's Adibou 2.

    While the original Adibou 2 game focused on reading and mathematics, Nature & Sciences explores new topics: history, geography, science & technology, the countryside, and everyday life. Each subject features six playful educational activities. Please note that the 3D car driving minigame is unfortunately not supported in our ScummVM reimplementation, as it was based on a different engine from the rest of the game.
