I wouldn't sweat 'real names'. Unless the tracks are on the CD I don't think there's any way to know if the pieces have actual titles. When I made my own GF soundtrack I just made up what I needed. For example, the music that plays when you're at th...  [Read More]

It's 'SCUMM Hacking', so the scope is a little broader than just ScummRev. Besides which, you can't expect people to read your mind. Be specific when you ask a question. If you just pop into a room full of complete strangers and blurt 'How about a Li...  [Read More]

The patch does nothing for this problem, I'm afraid. You've got two options here. First, load a saved game from before you got onto the belt and--before you have to get back on it again--flip the switch beside it so it runs in the other direction. I...  [Read More]

There's no way to really know what happened at the party. There are a few pieces of dialog that give a general idea of what happened. Manny -- So... you going to the Christmas party? Eva -- After the spectacle you made of yourself last year? I would...  [Read More]
