TIL you can run Longest Journey with SCUMMVM! That's so cool. I remember the retail release on disc being quite fickle to run properly.

Runs perfectly. Arguably better than the Steam version directly (though that's where I bought it through) which kept crashing for me. Add on the mods recommended in the Steam community page and it gives it a big boost too. Highly recommended.

First time I had to use a xp virtual machine. The latest time, it was almost out of the box on the steam deck. Nice to know that scumm might be the best way now.
