Engine interpreters, source ports, wrappers, etc.

Here are some I’ve come across over the years, in case people want / need to play games of a given engine in a system other than the supported ones, or (points at a physical copy of Monkey Island I have) if the game is having trouble running on the supported system.

Also, considering if I should include more game-specific tools too, since Aquaria is pretty close there already, and if I should add how to identify the engines.

Also disclaimer, not all are FOSS / OSS.

ScummVM

Too many engines to reasonably list them, so as an exception, listing ScummVM instead of its supported engines.
