ScummVM

A friend and I were talking about older point & click games we played when younger. So I told him that it is possible to play these games again, using ScummVM.

"ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!"

I used to have Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword series, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Monkey Island series, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max as a child. Nowadays, I can revive this point & click adventure on my Mac with ScummVM!

Ahh the good old days.

ScummVM can be found here.
