Hello people.
Having now got an actual desk and an actual desk chair, I'm thinking I might delve into a few old school PC games.
The main ones I'd like to dig into old point and clicks like Phantasmagoria and Gabriel Knight (I remember being fascinated by these but was too young to play them at the time).
I see that on GOG, these games are listed as Windows only, e.g. https://www.gog.com/game/gabriel_kni...of_the_fathers
However, about halfway down the page for both titles, it says 'Powered by SCUMMVM'.
SCUMMVM is obviously on Mac. I was wondering, if I buy these games, will I be able to open them in the Mac SCUMMVM? Presumably not by default but is there some jiggery pokery I can do to achieve it?
Any guidance much appreciated.
PS I know I can Boot Camp Windows or install virtualisation software, but I'm never going to get round to playing these games if I have to do the former, and my Core M3 processor probably isn't up to playing even an extremely old game via the latter.
