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 game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
ScummVM lets you run these adventures: Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system. SCUMM is used for many games, including Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. Compatibility with supported games is continually improving, so check back often.
Among the systems on which you can play those games are Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2, SymbianOS/EPOC and many more...

Scumm VM wurde eintlich nur von Lucas arts für die eigenen alten games entwickelt damit die auf den neuen systemen laufen und die wieder kohle mit den games verdienen
Von LucasArts ist es auch nicht, schaut auf Wikipedia für mehr Infos
Ich selber habe Simon the Sorcerer damit gespielt und das ist wirklich gut das Programm. Auch Monkey Island etc. läuft einwandfrei. Denn die Kompatiblität einstellen reicht sogut wie nie aus um die Spiele dann vernünftig spielen zu können.
