History
The ScummVM project was started as a way to play LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) games Maniac Mansion (1988) through The Curse of Monkey Island (1997), and the Humungous Entertainment's adventure learning games using the SCUMM engine. It allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this is that ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed.
ScummVM was ported by Marcus Comstedt (known for DreamSNES) to the Dreamcast in 2002 (using Libronin (instead of KallistiOS).
While it began as an interpreter for the SCUMM engine games, ScummVM now has modules which support games from a variety of engines. These games include Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and 2, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth, Coktel Vision's Gobliiins series, Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia series, and more...
The SCUMM engine games, Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Gobliiins 1 - 3, Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff & Shnibble, and Lure of the Temptress were all reverse engineered by examining the game's executables and datafiles. The copyright holders of Beneath a Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and 2, and Flight of the Amazon Queen allowed the ScummVM team to use the sourcecode to their games in their engine reimplementations.
The graphic adventure projects Sarien, and FreeSCI, have been discontinued in favor of the modular approach used by ScummVM, and their supported games have been, or are being, merged into the ScummVM project.
Known issues
- Possible audio lag in "cdda" enabled versions of games.
- Possible voice lag in the "talkie" versions of games.
- Due to system requirements 'The Curse of Monkey Island', and the 'The Dig' are not compatible with the Dreamcast ScummVM. For the same reason, 'Full Throttle' is not completable at this point.
