SCUMM
From Monkey Island wiki
Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion or simply SCUMM is the game-engine used by the majority of LucasArts's adventure games. The engine was originally developed for the game Maniac Mansion and has been used in a total of 12 LucasArts games. A pre-SCUMM era adventure game by LucasArts, Labyrinth (based on a movie by the same name), used a different code altogether. Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island, LucasArts's last two adventure games, utilized a wholly different engine.
