Perchance, are you thinking of the DOD Travellers' Guide (http://www.lois.co.uk/dod-guide/map.html)? It's a pity old Sam isn't still around (I mean the forums...I presume he's still sucking air), and that he never drew the comic we'd worked up (I st...  [Read More]

Try it and see. :p At the very least, the processor speed could cause problems in year three; specifically, with the conveyor belt. Another potential difficulty is the operating system, which you didn't mention. Older games can sometimes be cranky...  [Read More]

One thing to try is to use the 'pick up' command on the characters, objects that can't be picked up, or to use the 'use' command on objects that can't be used. Trying to 'pick up' Velasco and Naranja is especially funny. So is trying to pick up or us...  [Read More]
