The list of games supported by the most recent stable version of ScummVM can be found on the [http://www.scummvm.org/compatibility.php?version={{StableVersion}} Compatibility page], or the games supported by the current unstable version can be found on the [http://www.scummvm.org/compatibility.php SVN Compatibility page].

The [[Engines|Engines page]] in the wiki also lists these things, along with the engines that are still work-in-progress.


Finally the [[Datafiles]] page is worth a look as it lists all the files needed for each game to play the game with ScummVM (i.e. the files you need to copy on your hard disk).
