About

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.

Problem

Classic graphical adventure and RPG games cannot run on modern operating systems without their original executables being replaced or emulated.
