Mantzy81 comments on [ScummVM], the best tool for playing obscure old PC games now supports the sublime FMV cheese of Crime Patrol 2: Drug Wars and [Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness], a Lovecraftian adventure one YouTuber scored a 'terribly low 2/10'

I use it for The Longest Journey. Means you can add mods to make text more legible for example

TIL you can run Longest Journey with SCUMMVM! That's so cool. I remember the retail release on disc being quite fickle to run properly.

Runs perfectly. Arguably better than the Steam version directly (though that's where I bought it through) which kept crashing for me. Add on the mods recommended in the Steam community page and it gives it a big boost too. Highly recommended.

First time I had to use a xp virtual machine. The latest time, it was almost out of the box on the steam deck. Nice to know that scumm might be the best way now.
