Literally every game you've listed here has already been remade for modern PCs.
So... 20 years of wasted effort. Cheers to the birthday boy!!

Hi Barebooh,
ScummVM supports more than 250 games overall. Not all of those titles have been remastered, not even remotely.

The game illustrated is Monkey Island Special Edition, which is the only version of the game NOT playable through ScummVM.  :)

And, Barebooh, that very same Monkey Island SE is currently not playable or available on Apple platforms for example. It used to be, but now it's "technologically obsolete", 32bit x86 etc.
Incidentally, ScummVM (and all of its supported games) runs just fine on newest, and older, Macs, among countless other platforms, including the Rasperry Pi etc.
