Anybody know how to get games for scumm? Are we talking sailing the high seas or are there legal downloads somewhere?

MyAbandonware maybe

GOG has most of them. A couple are even free. They used to have an official list of every title they carried that was compatible with ScummVM but the page appears to be gone now :/

Can’t look for it on mobile, but I’m sure the Wayback machine has it saved.

Perfect! Thank you so much for this! Now to figure out how to extract zip files to a spesific folder on iPhone.

You can legally download some of the games for free.

Ooh! Beneath a Steel Sky came with my first cd rom kit (or at least I got it at the same time). It was gruesomely hard for me as I hadn’t learned English properly yet. That’s gonna be a fun walk down memory lane.

Most of them are still available from GOG and Steam. Many of them actually use ScummVM under the hood to be able to work on modern systems.

I was thinking of using the iPhone app so I need to get the files to access from scumm directly somehow.

You still get the files when you buy from GOG or Steam.
