#### ResidualVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic adventure games with 3D graphics

ResidualVM is a cross-platform 3D game interpreter which allows you to play several 3D adventure games, provided you already have their data files. ResidualVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Currently supported are "Grim Fandango" and" Escape from Monkey Island "by LucasArts, Presto Studio's "Myst 3 - Exile" and Funcom's "The Longest Journey".
