ScummVM

So, if you're feeling a bit nostalgic about those classic point-and-click games like Indiana Jones and the Curse of Atlantis, The Secret of Monkey Island, or Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, you’re in luck! ScummVM is here to help you out. This awesome emulator lets you play those old favorites on modern computers and operating systems.

Easy to Install ScummVM

ScummVM comes in both an installer version and a portable one, which makes it super simple to set up and start playing your games. Just keep in mind that this app doesn’t come with any games pre-installed, and there’s no online library for free downloads.

Getting Your Games Ready

If you want to play, you'll need to have your own copies of the games. The good news is that there’s an online collection of free-to-try demos. You can download these demos and import them into ScummVM to see how everything works before diving into the classics!

A Retro Feel with a User-Friendly Interface

The app has a cool retro vibe, which fits perfectly with the old-school point-and-click genre. You can add games to your library by locating the folder where all game data is stored. It might take a little time since the file navigator isn’t the best, but it's nothing we can't handle!

Add Multiple Games Easily

You can add several games at once, which makes switching between them super easy! You also get to customize things like setting a display name for each game, picking your language if there are options available, and choosing from various engines like DOS, Apple II, 3DO, Amiga, Nintendo Wii, Windows, Linux, Macintosh—you name it!

Tweak Your Settings for Better Gameplay

You have control over graphic settings too! You can change things like graphics mode, aspect ratio, fullscreen options, music devices—basically everything that affects your gaming experience including sound effects and speech volume.

Smooth Performance on Modern Systems

I tried it out on Windows 10 with some demos I grabbed from their website. Everything ran smoothly! Overall, ScummVM is definitely a must-have app for gamers who want to revisit those iconic point-and-click adventures that really shaped gaming history. Plus, it's totally free and open-source—no programming skills required!
