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. + +{{< image class="centered" alt="Screenshot ScummVM running Monkey Island 2" file="scummvm.png" >}} +Monkey Island 2 running on ScummVM +{{< /image >}} |
