== Sub Engines of SCUMM ==
The SCUMM virtual machine is made up of a number of sub engines working together. Strictly, the term SCUMM only refers to the scripting language itself. The official term for the virtual machine as a whole is SPUTM --- but getting people to change is probably a lost cause.
Here are all the engines used by the SCUMM virtual machine.
; SPUTM : The 'real' name for the engine.
; SCUMM : The actual scripting language.
; IMUSE : The MIDI control system, allowing dynamic music.
; SMUSH : A movie compression format and player.
; INSANE : The event management system used in V7+ games.
; MMUCAS : The memory allocation system used in The Curse of Monkey Island. V8 only.
== SCUMM Versions ==
The Program version is simply a string found within the SCUMM interpreters included with each game.
