ScummVM provides none of the original assets for the games it supports, and expects the user to properly own the original game's media so as to use the software legally. ScummVM is a program that supports numerous adventure game engines via virtual machines, allowing the user to play supported adventure games on their platform of choice. The team behind it also add improvements such as bug-fixes and translations and works with commercial companies such as GOG.com about re-releases. ScummVM is a re-implementation 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, it also supports a variety of non-SCUMM games by companies like Revolution Software and Adventure Soft.
