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.

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 Disney even republished Maniac Mansion on a toasterSteam using an outdated version of ScummVM.
