About:
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games (such as those by LucasArts, Sierra, and Revolution Software) provided you already have their data files. It is a reimplementation of the original interpreters, allowing these games to run on modern hardware and operating systems where they were never officially released.
Key Features:
  • Broad compatibility with classic adventure game engines (SCUMM, Sierra's AGI/SCI, etc.)
  • Support for a wide range of platforms including modern desktops, mobile, and consoles
  • Enhancements like graphical smoothing, MT-32 emulator, and modern save/load systems
  • Open-source and actively maintained with a large community
Use Cases:
  • Replaying classic 90s adventure games on a modern Mac or Linux system
  • Porting classic games to platforms they were never released on, like Android or Raspberry Pi
Alternatives:
  • ResidualVM – Fork focused on 3D games like Myst III and IV; now merged back into ScummVM.
