ScummVM is a free and open source software that allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, assuming you have their data files. In other words, it replaces the original executables of the games, allowing you to play the games directly (without DOSBox like emulation) on new systems.

Unlike DOSBox, ScummVM provides custom emulation for each game and not for DOS itself. Of course, this means ScummVM emulates games in an opt-in fashion. That is, the developers choose which games would be supported, as opposed to DOSBox in which you can (at least try to) run anything that runs under DOS.
