iPhone

A port of ScummVM for the iPhone / iPod Touch. Look here for the latest changes.

A note for those coming from blogs

The official site for ScummVM is www.scummvm.org. This is only a port-specific page.

You need original disks to run the games. We will not give support to anyone using illegal copies of the games. The only two games which are legal to download (Flight of the Amazon Queen and Beneath a Steel Sky) can be found at our downloads page. A number of games are still on sale, and for games not in the list go to eBay, into your attic or sometimes they're still in local bargain bins.

ScummVM is not an emulator, and the project is not only about LucasArts games since 2002 (i.e. today we support over 150 different games by a number of different game software companies).

Vinterstum created just one of 30 ScummVM ports, and ScummVM is a work for over 40+ active developers.
