+
+[ScummVM](https://www.scummvm.org/) started as a way to run classic LucasArts point-and-click adventure games on modern hardware.
+Today is has grown to a general runner for classic adventure games.
+If ScummVM is supported on your OS, you have a huge selection of games to choose from - just check the [compatibility list](https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/)!
+
+Luckly for us, FreeBSD has a ready port and a prebuilt package. All we need to do is to
+
+```sh
+pkg install scummvm
+```
+
+Note, that ScummVM is not **only** a runner, but it's the best way to experience supported games.
+Not only does it provide a modern save system, but it also fixes all problems, like synchronization of audio/video.
+
+Since ScummVM abstracts the OS from the game, any problems you may experience should not be FreeBSD specific, so finding help should be easy.
+
+Getting the games may be problematic.
+Most modern remakes are not using the classic engines, so they may not work.
