SCUMM stands for +'Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion', which was the first game for +which LucasArts designed this system. And much later it gave its name to +ScummVM ('VM' meaning Virtual Machine). + +Over time support for a lot of non-SCUMM games has been added, and ScummVM now +also supports many of Sierra's AGI and SCI games (such as King's Quest 1-6, +Space Quest 1-5, ...), Discworld 1 and 2, Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Beneath A +Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Broken Sword I and II, Flight of the Amazon +Queen, Gobliiins 1-3, The Legend of Kyrandia series, many of Humongous +Entertainment's children's SCUMM games (including Freddi Fish and Putt Putt +games) and many more. You can find a full list with details on which adventures +are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually +improving, so check back often. + +To build the debugging symbols use: + DEBUG=1 ./scummvm-libretro.SlackBuild |
