Portability is a design goal of the project. 5 Support from game companies and freeware releases of adventure games.ScummVM is a reimplementation of the part of the software used to interpret the scripting languages such games used to describe the game world rather than emulating the hardware the games ran on as such, ScummVM allows the games it supports to be played on platforms other than those for which they were originally released. Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, ScummVM is free software. It was originally written by Ludvig Strigeus. Originally designed to play LucasArts adventure games that use the SCUMM system (the VM in the name stands for virtual machine), it also supports a variety of non-SCUMM games by companies like Revolution Software and Adventure Soft. ScummVM is a collection of game engine recreations.
