Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Opus 5, both running in Claude Code, play the Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars demo side by side, from the same starting point, for fifteen minutes each. Neither one gets a keyboard or a mouse: each drives the game only through a ScummVM MCP server, reading the room as structured data and commenting on every move. Both were also allowed to take screenshots of the game whenever a scene was hard to read.
Models:
- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5, harness Claude Code
- Anthropic Claude Opus 5, harness Claude Code
This is using this MCP server built on top of ScummVM: https://github.com/xavierhardy/scummvm-mcp
