## ScummVM at a Glance ScummVM is a modern reimplementation of various game engines. Once you transfer the original game data to your device, it endeavors to use it to faithfully recreate the original gaming experience. ScummVM isn't your typical emulator of DOS, Windows, or some console. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, it takes a meticulous route, implementing the precise game logic for each specific title or engine it supports. ScummVM will not work with game engines it does not support. ScummVM is developed by a team of volunteers and is free software. We lack an extensive testing team, possess only a limited range of devices, and cannot always address every request. We also do not run advertisements or sell you anything. Please be mindful of this when you submit a complaint or a bug report. ## Where to get the games Visit [our Wiki](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Where_to_get_the_games) for a list ofdetailed list of supported games and where to purchase them.
