I had no idea ScummVM supported so many games and engines! I only knew it as the LucasArts games and what I assumed would be homebrew games using the same engine. If you were like me, check it out and play a really great variety of games!

How do you find all the games (besides the 10 freeware I see under Games in the link)? Buying from Good Old Games etc?

Most of the games ScummVM supports are abandonware at this point, so there's no legal way to buy them apart from digging up used copies. Otherwise, as with most abandonware, they can be found floating around the internet.

For a lot of the text adventure systems that it now supports, this site will let you search by language - https://ifdb.tads.org/
