To pedantically correct a thing you said, SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) was an adventure game engine, and was used for early LucasArts titles (absolutely no Sierra games!).

ScummVM is a program that bundles a lot of reimplementations of different game engines together, such that you can play pretty much any game in the "point and click adventure" category from the late 80s through early 2000s on modern platforms so long as you provide the data-files for it yourself. As you might guess from the name, some scope creep has happened since its origin.

Thanks for the correction! Fixed above. Early morning. :)

FM/YI, here's the mapping of games to engines: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Engines

Apparently the Sierra engines were AGI and then SCI. https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=AGI https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=SCI
