A while ago we showed you ScummVM, a fantastic platform to run graphic adventures on any type of computer. After years and years of updates, ScummVM 2.0 finally arrives, the "emulator" of graphic adventures now with support for Sierra games. Although it is not an emulator per se, but a "virtual machine", ScummVM 2.0 allows you to play classic games that today do not work on modern computers due to incompatibility issues. And like any update, this new version adds support for twenty-three new games, which we will detail below:

While many of these games have been released in remastered versions, several users still keep the original version of the game, which today can only be played by running it in ScummVM 2.0. This new version of the platform also offers fixes and improvements, such as compatibility with joystick and audio latency, as well as compatibility for several of the games on different platforms.
ScummVM 2.0 is available for free download on computers (Windows, Mac and Linux) as well as consoles and portables (Dreamcast, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita). Without a doubt the ideal gift for fans of graphic adventures to enjoy great classics this holiday season.
