History

ScummVM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion Virtual Machine) began in 2001 as a project to run LucasArts adventure games on modern systems. It has since grown to support over 300 games across dozens of engines, from Sierra's AGI/SCI to Revolution Software's Virtual Theatre. The games available here — from Beneath a Steel Sky to Flight of the Amazon Queen — represent the golden age of point & click adventures (1992–1996).

Gameplay Tips

Click on everything — Adventure games reward thorough exploration. Look at, pick up, and talk to everything you can.
Save often — Use F5 to save your progress. Some puzzles have time limits or points of no return.
Combine inventory items — If you're stuck, try combining items in your inventory. The solution is often creative.
Talk to everyone twice — NPCs sometimes have new dialogue after story events. Exhaust all conversation options.

Did You Know?

Beneath a Steel Sky (1994) was made freeware by Revolution Software in 2003 — it was one of the first commercial games given away for free by its creators.
ScummVM's name references SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion), the engine LucasArts created for their classic adventures starting in 1987.
Lure of the Temptress (1992) pioneered the "Virtual Theatre" system where NPCs moved independently through the game world — a remarkably advanced concept for its time.
