ScummVM 2026.4.0 adds support for nearly 200 retro games
The open-source engine recreation project's new release covers the additions across 12 game engines.
ScummVM 2026.4.0 has been released, adding support for nearly 200 more retro games spread across 12 different game engines, according to gamingonlinux.com.
The update expands the list of titles the open-source project can run, with the new additions distributed over a dozen engines rather than a single platform.
ScummVM takes a different approach from conventional emulators: instead of emulating old computers, it recreates the original game engines, running classic titles from their original game files on modern hardware.
That method has long been used to bring games such as Monkey Island, Broken Sword and Day of the Tentacle to current systems.
