Version for older Macs?

I've got an older Mac, a Performa 6320 with 120MHz processor and 48MB RAM, and Mac OS 8.1. Is there any version of ScummVM that will run on a machine with these specs, and is compatible with the old HE adventure games?

(No, don't worry, I don't use this outdated atrocity as my main computer. We're going to set it up for my younger brother with a ton of educational games and such, like Reading Maze, but the only HE game we have the mac version of is Putt-Putt & Fatty Bear's Activity Pack, and we were hoping to put the other ones we have on here too.)

It's a machine from mid nineties, so I wouldn't count on ScummVM running on it, but why use an emulator if you can run original Mac titles? Unless you only own DOS / Windows ones.

You hit the nail on the head there. I've only got the Mac version of one game (Putt&Fatty's ActPack), the other Humongous Entertainment games I've got are all Windows or DOS versions.

It's not a huge deal if there's no version of scummvm that'll run on this hardware, because I've got a massive collection of other Mac games that it will run, but I was hoping that maybe it just might work

No, ScummVM was never ported to MacOS 9. SO, no luck there.

As of HE games, yes, original ones, from HE, and some from Infogrames were running on MacOS 9 natively (the CD-ROMs were dual Win/MacOS). Only at Atari time they stopped to provide those.
