Was ist ScummVM?

ScummVM ist ein Programm, welches Ihnen ermöglicht, zahlreiche Adventures und RPGs auszuführen, vorausgesetzt, Sie sind im Besitz der passenden Spieldateien. ScummVM ersetzt dabei die ausführbaren Programmdateien, die ursprünglich mit dem Spiel mitgeliefert wurden. Dadurch können diese Spiele auf Systemen gespielt werden, für welche sie nie entwickelt wurden! ScummVM ist eine komplette Re-Implementierung der Programm-Dateien und kein Emulator.

ScummVM unterstützt eine umfangreiche Bibliothek von über 325 Adventure-Spielen - darunter viele Klassiker legendärer Studios wie LucasArts, Sierra On-Line, Revolution Software, Cyan, Inc. und Westwood Studios. Neben bahnbrechenden Titeln wie der Monkey Island-Serie, Baphomets Fluch, Myst, Blade Runner und unzähligen weiteren Spielen werden Sie auch einige wirklich merkwürdige Abenteuer und versteckte Schätze entdecken.

Sie finden eine komplette Liste mit allen Informationen darüber, welche Spiele unterstützt werden auf der Kompatibilitätsseite. Da ScummVM laufend verbessert wird, lohnt es sich, häufiger vorbeizuschauen. Zu den Systemen, auf welchen Sie diese Spiele spielen können, gehören Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, PS Vita, Switch, Dreamcast, AmigaOS, Atari/FreeMiNT, RISC OS, Haiku, PSP, PS3, Maemo, GCW Zero und viele mehr...

Unser Forum und unser Discord-Server sind offen für Kommentare und Vorschläge. Bitte lesen Sie unsere häufig gestellten Fragen (FAQ), bevor Sie einen Eintrag dort verfassen.

Sie können das Projekt unterstützen, indem Sie Ihrer Begeisterung in Form einer Spende über PayPal Ausdruck verleihen. Wir würden uns jedoch noch wesentlich mehr darüber freuen, wenn Sie etwas Programmcode beisteuern könnten.

We are happy to announce that Tex Murphy 2: Martian Memorandum is now ready for testing in ScummVM.

Martian Memorandum is the second game in the Tex Murphy series, set in a dark version of the future circa 2039. You play private investigator Tex Murphy, who has been hired by the founder of TerraForm Corporation, Marshall Alexander, to locate his missing daughter Alexis. It seems like it might be a simple kidnapping, but the clues quickly lead to a much bigger mystery.

This is the second game in ScummVM using the Access Software engine – the first, Amazon: Guardians of Eden, was added nearly 10 years ago.

To test Martian Memorandum you’ll need the game files (available from GOG or Steam) and a daily development build. Be sure to check the notes on the wiki for the game, and please report any bugs on our issue tracker.

geschrieben von Helco

Dr. Bacterio has a new invention, and it's your job to test it. Work your way through classic Hollywood films while somehow finding the time to save the real world from the mummy.

Whether you have the Spanish Mortadelo y Filemón: Aventura de Cine Edición especial or the German Clever & Smart: A Movie Adventure (check out the demo here), the daily build will transport you to the world of Film Noir in no time. The ScummVM Team would be grateful for any feedback you could share on your journey to meet Billy the Kid or Freddy Krueger.

Just a quick reminder that the Steam version has English subtitles for players who don't speak Spanish or German.

Before you start your test run, please read through our testing guidelines and take some screenshots along the way.

Now don't let the Super wait!

The ScummVM team is happy to announce full support for the first-person survival adventure Penumbra: Overture!

Step into the boots of Philip, who is drawn to Greenland in search of answers after receiving a letter from his long-lost father. Once there, you find yourself trapped inside an abandoned mine… with no way out but deeper in.

The game is fully 3D and presented in a first-person perspective, featuring elements of stealth and physics-based puzzle-solving.

If you own a copy of the game and want to help test this release, download a daily build and be sure to read our testing guidelines.

Don’t forget your torch. You’re going to need it.

22.08.2025: Announcing support for World Builder-based games
geschrieben von Alikhan

After many years of development, games made with World Builder are ready for testing. The World Builder creation system was released for the original Macintosh and was extremely popular among developers. As such, we're announcing that over 160 games built on the engine are ready for public testing in ScummVM. Notable games made with World Builder include:

  • Ray's Maze. The game follows Frank Farley, a part-time adventurer, who finds himself in a Maze full of dangerous monsters and deadly traps. The objective of the game is to solve puzzles and escape the maze.
  • Radical Castle. You are given the role of a squire, who must bring back the stolen "Oracle" to the King to escape a fatal punishment.
  • Enchanced Scepters. The first game created using World Builder, and one of the few commercial games made with it. The player must find fire, earth, air, and water scepters and bring them back to the castle.

Most games made with WAGE are either freeware or shareware, and for your convenience we've collected all titles with these types into one big downloadable archive. So grab it from our game downloads page, get yourself a daily development build, and start your journey. As always, if you happen to have any issues, please submit the bug reports to our issue tracker. Lastly, contact us if you have some other unrecognised games or a new demo.
