{{EngineDescription|
The current Kyrandia engine in the ScummVM CVS can play through Kyrandia 1; some graphics glitches still exist and sound/music is not perfect yet. CD version (including voice output) is working. The data file (kyra.dat) needed can be found in the cvs module "engine-data" ([http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/scummvm/engine-data/kyra.dat latest version of kyra.dat]).
