ScummVM is an open-source platform that enables users to play classic adventure and RPG games. Originally designed to run games created with the SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) engine by LucasArts, ScummVM has expanded to support a wide range of titles from different developers.
Instead of emulating the original hardware, ScummVM attempts to recreate the game engines underlying the games. This allows for better performance and compatibility across platforms while avoiding bugs that may be associated with original executables.
ScummVM offers features such as save state capabilities, improved graphics and audio settings, and support for modern control schemes such as touch screens. It is a great tool for gaming enthusiasts who wish to revisit classic titles on modern hardware.
