[[Humongous Entertainment]] used it for every single game they made, such as the [[Putt-Putt]], [[Freddi Fish]], [[Pajama Sam]], [[Spy Fox]], and [[Backyard Sports]] series. Went through 11 versions, each one adding more features. Also popular for fanmade games, thanks to [http://www.scummvm.org/ ScummVM].
