ScummVM
Run classic adventure and RPG games on modern systems
ScummVM is an open-source program that lets users play classic graphical adventure and role-playing games on modern platforms by replacing the original game executables. It supports a wide and growing library of titles, requiring users to supply their own original game data files. The project is community-driven, with over 900 contributors and nearly 25 years of development history.
ScummVM rewrites the executables of supported games, allowing users to run them on modern systems using their original game data files.
