[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.
