Editing SCUMM (section)

== References and in-jokes ==
In-joke references were a common feature of [[LucasArts adventure games]]. Developers used the name of their engine for comic effect in several games.

''Razor and the Scummettes'', a punk band mentioned in ''[[Maniac Mansion]]'', and the ''SCUMM bar'' in the ''[[Monkey Island (series)|Monkey Island]]'' series are both named after the scripting language. In ''[[Escape from Monkey Island]]'', victim of a hostile takeover, the ''SCUMM bar'' becomes the ''[[Lua (programming language)|Lua]] bar'', a reference to the programming language which replaced the engine used for the prior games. SCUMM is also listed in the ingredients of grog in ''[[The Secret of Monkey Island]]''.
