 About:
-------
-ScummVM is an implementation of the SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for
-Maniac Mansion) engine used in various Lucas Arts games such as Monkey
-Island and Day of the Tentacle. At this time ScummVM should be considered
-ALPHA software, as it's still under heavy development. Be aware that while
-many games will work with few major bugs, crashes can happen. Also note
-that saved games can, and probably will, be incompatible between releases.

-Also ScummVM is capable of playing several non-SCUMM games, at the moment
-this includes Simon The Sorcerer.
