![]() ![]() ![]() Now that you’re pumped and ready to get playing your retro favorites, let’s review what we need and get started. ![]() As long as you have the data from the point-and-click games (even if you can’t run the original game on your computer) you can import them into ScummVM. ScummVM essentially replaces the executable that launches the original game with a shinier, more efficient, and feature packed interface that allows for everything from custom support for individual games to enhanced gaming saving. The result of that overlap is the ScummVM project-a multi-platform game engine that acts as a modern front end for old game scripts. Thankfully, there is a sizeable overlap between the realms of skilled programmers and die-hard point-and-click adventure fans. If you can even get the old games to run in compatibility mode they are plagued with graphics and audio issues that radically decrease playability and put a definite dent in your nostalgia fix. If thoughts of playing Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island, Kings Quest, and other classic point-and-click adventures sends tingles of nostalgia to your mouse hand, read on as we show you how to enjoy the classics on your computer with ScummVM.Īs any fan of old-school point-and-click adventures can tell you, installing and running the retro classics from the 1980s and 90s on a modern computer is a complete and utter crapshot. ![]()
