I prefer SCUMM. GrimE just doesn't feel as natural to me.

Both are LucasArts engines, SCUMM was used for Monkey Island etc, and GrimE was used for Grim Fandango, and as far as I remember SCUMM stands for "Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion" because it was first used and developed for Maniac Mansion.. as for GrimE, I can't remember what that stands for.. shall post if I find out.. ;P


Edit: GrimE stands for "Grim Edit".. :D

I think GrimE was also used for Escape from Monkey Island.

Scumm, not in the least because it's been ported as a vm for Linux. 8)
