==Overview==
ScummVM was originally a reverse engineered reimplementation of <abbr title="Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion Virtual Machine (ScummVM) first ">SCUMM</abbr>, the game engine used in the adventure game Maniac Mansion, and it released october on October 8, 2001. It was SCUMM is notable for its portability, having originally been designed to play LucasArts adventure games that use for the SCUMM systemCommodore 64, since and then later ported to the Apple II and IBM PC. The technique of using a lot of adventures games from other companies has been added. Lately they have also started allowing virtual machine for game engines development is not new, as it was previously used for RPGs. As text adventure games in the form of october 9, 2020 they merged the 3d adventure game focused sister project [[ResidualVMwikipedia:Z-machine|Z-machine]] into ScummVM<ref>https://www.scummvm.org/news/20201009/</ref>, thereby making game engines But LucasArts also used it for both adventure games manipulating graphics and RPGs allowed in sound, as doing so alleviated the project, whether they are 2D or 3D, point-and-click or not. Over 250 games are currently supported including games burden of having to redevelop Maniac Mansion from Sierra's AGI and SCI games, Humongous Entertainment, Adventuresoftscratch, and many otherssave time on getting subsequent ports to market.
ScummVM works by replacing or modifying certain game executables, allowing is similar; the simplicity of the user engine makes it portable to play on originally unintended/modern hardwarea wide variety of platforms. Compared Unlike a full-fledged system emulator, ScummVM only uses the resources it needs to regular emulation this makes run the games, like the original SCUMM (though the codebase does have emulators for hardware like sound cards), making the system requirements ''very '' modestand forgiving. Multiple versions of the same game are often supported, you can basically run older such as PC and console ports. Support for many games in ScummVM games has even been contributed by official developers. Disney even republished Maniac Mansion on a toasterSteam using an outdated version of ScummVM.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>[https://www.scummvm.org/news/20201009 A merger] ScummVM is released with news - Oct 9, 2020</ref>. ==Supported games==ScummVM supports over 250 games from many publishers and developers.
