Some of the supported games include Day of the Tentacle, Gabriel Knight I and II, the Monkey Island Series, Broken Sword I and II, as well as the Indiana Jones series. While the project concentrated on Lucas Arts adventure games in the beginning, hence the name ScummVM, it is now supporting a variety of classic games, including some of my all time favorite games.Ī list of all games currently supported is available here. ScummVM is an Open Source project that has been designed as an interface to make those old games playable again on modern PCs. Some came on CD on the other hand, but even those may not be playable right away due to changes in computer hardware and operating system. SCUMM games:: Alt+x - Quit Ctrl 0-9 and Alt 0-9 - Load and save game state Ctrl+d - Starts the debugger Ctrl+f - Toggle fast mode Ctrl+g - Runs in really REALLY. I have several of the old games still at home but cannot really play many of them considering that I do not have direct access to a floppy drive anymore. Alt+0-9 to save a game, Ctrl+the chosen number to load it. SCUMMVMMIDI The sequencer device to use with the seq MIDI driver. The game only works with the ScummVM hotkeys, the menu is rendered useless. Lucas Arts made that genre popular, today it is just a shadow of its former past. There are many more SCUMM and game-specific hotkeys. Default shortcuts are shown in the table. For game-specific controls, see the wiki entryfor the game you are playing. If a negative number is set, ScummVM does not access the CD drive. You know, the click and point type of adventure games where you had to pick an action and combine that action with something or someone on the screen. Keyboard shortcuts Edit on GitHub Keyboard shortcuts ScummVM supports various in-game keyboard and mouse shortcuts, and since version 2.2.0 these can be manually configured in the Keymaps tab, or in the configuration file. Sets which CD drive to play CD audio from (as a numeric index).

Ever since the release of Maniac Mansion on the Commodore C-64, and probably even earlier than that (Guild of Thieves for instance), I was fascinated by adventure games.
