'''ScummVM''' is an open-source program which allows the running collection of several LucasArts point-[[game engine recreations and-click source ports]] based around various adventure gamesand RPGs from the late 80s and 90s, which ran using the SCUMM and supports over 280 games (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansionover 1800 if you count text adventures) system. It has been ported to a wide variety , making it the biggest project of devices and operating systemsits kind.

SCUMM is notable for its portability, having originally been designed for the Commodore 64, and then later ported to the Apple II and IBM PC. The technique of using a virtual machine for game development is not new, as it was previously used for text adventure games in the form of the [[wikipedia:Z-machine|Z-machine]]. But LucasArts also used it for manipulating graphics and sound, as doing so alleviated the burden of having to redevelop Maniac Mansion from scratch, and save time on getting subsequent ports to market. ScummVM is similar; the simplicity of the engine makes it portable to a wide variety of platforms. Unlike a full-fledged system emulator, ScummVM only uses the resources it needs to run the games, like the original SCUMM (though the codebase does have emulators for hardware like sound cards), making the system requirements ''very'' modest and forgiving. Multiple versions of the same game are often supported, such as PC and console ports. Support for many games in ScummVM has even been contributed by official developers. Disney even republished Maniac Mansion on Steam using an outdated version of ScummVM. On October 9, 2020, in a similar precedent to [[MAME]] and its fork MESS, the ScummVM Team merged the sister project [[ResidualVM]] into the ScummVM repository<ref>[httphttps://buildbotwww.scummvm.org/buildsnews/20201009 A merger] ScummVM news - Oct 9, 2020</ref>.html Nightly  ==Supported games==ScummVM supports over 250 games from many publishers and Stable Buildsdevelopers.
