Overview
Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion Virtual Machine (ScummVM) first released october 8, 2001. It was originally designed to play LucasArts adventure games that use the SCUMM system, since then a lot of adventures games from other companies has been added. Lately they have also started allowing game engines for RPGs. As of october 9, 2020 they merged the 3d adventure game focused sister project ResidualVM into ScummVM[1], thereby making game engines for both adventure games and RPGs allowed in the project, whether they are 2D or 3D, point-and-click or not. Over 250 games are currently supported including games from Sierra's AGI and SCI games, Humongous Entertainment, Adventuresoft, and many others.
ScummVM works by replacing or modifying certain game executables, allowing the user to play on originally unintended/modern hardware. Compared to regular emulation this makes the hardware requirements very modest, you can basically run older ScummVM games on a toaster.
ScummVM is released with the free software GNU GPLv2 license and has been ported to a wide variety of devices and operating systems.
