+
+ScummVM is a collection of interpreters, capable of emulating several
+adventure game engines. ScummVM mainly supports engines created using
+SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion), used in various
+LucasArts games such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and others.
+
+ScummVM also contains interpreters for several non-SCUMM games. Currently
+these are Beneath a Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 \& 2, Flight of the Amazon Queen,
+Gobliiins, Inherit the Earth, Simon the Sorcerer 1 \& 2 and The Legend of
+Kyrandia.
+
+At this time ScummVM should be considered beta software, and is still
+under heavy development. Be aware that whilst we attempt to make sure
+that many games can be completed with few major bugs, crashes can happen.
+
+If you enjoy ScummVM feel free to donate using the PayPal button on the
+ScummVM homepage. This will help us buy utilities needed to develop ScummVM
+easier and quicker. If you cannot donate, help and contribute a patch!
