"I know at times, some designers felt that SCUMM was confining. One described using SCUMM as being like trying to push an elephant with a pencil eraser."

When you talk about of the heyday of LucasArts adventure games, you have to talk about SCUMM, the "Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion" that powers some of the most memorable games ever made, such as Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit the Road, and, of course, Maniac Mansion.

Aric Wilmunder, along with famed game designer Ron Gilbert, built SCUMM, in effect providing a way for games like these to exist. And back in 2013, Wilmunder spoke with journalist Mike Bevan over email, discussing SCUMM and the stories around it.

Here are choice pieces of that conversation, all in the words of Wilmunder, over in the blog section over at Game Developer.
