+'''ScummVM''' is a [[virtual machine]] created to run several classic graphical point-and-click adventure games.
+ScummVM is written and programmed to run specific games and series. It is not a generic tool or an emulator, like [http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ Dosbox] is.
+ScummVM is designed to run:
+* [[Adventure Soft]]'s [[Simon the Sorcerer]] 1 and 2;
+* [[Revolution]]'s [[Beneath a Steel Sky]], [[Broken Sword 1]] and [[Broken Sword 2]];
+* [[Flight of the Amazon Queen]] by John Passfield and Steve Stamatiadis;
+* and games based on [[LucasArts]]' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system. [[SCUMM]] is used for many games, including [[Monkey Island]], [[Day of the Tentacle]], [[Sam and Max]] and more.
