About ScummVM

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run a wide variety of classic

graphical point-and-click adventure games and role-playing games,

provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this:

ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game,

allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Currently, ScummVM supports a huge library of adventures with over 250 games in total.

It supports many classics published by legendary studios like LucasArts, Sierra On-Line,

Revolution Software, Cyan, Inc. and Westwood Studios.

Next to ground-breaking titles like the Monkey Island series, Broken Sword,

Myst, Blade Runner and countless other games you will find

some really obscure adventures and truly hidden gems to explore.
