We reported on a classic Lucasarts game being available yesterday. As it turned out, it was a developer who simply took someone's work and tried to make a few bucks out of it so we took down that story.

But what to do if you want to play classics like Indiana Jones, Day of the Tentacle and more on your iDevice and without Jailbreaking? Well, turns out there's a way thanks to the trusty engine Scumm.

See, Scumm is the engine that powers all these adventure games and it so happens that on PC you can use it to run them all. Well, someone also ported it on iOS and thanks to iOS 9's unsigned code, you can also use it to get any Scumm game on your device.

You'll need a Mac though, that's pretty much the only problem that you might run into. Oh and every game that you'll run must be owned of course. You'll need to follow this well-written guide to get them up and running and you should be able to play The Dig, Day of the Tentacle and more legally.
