mac version available june 15th.

i might not be able to play it anyway tho, what with my rubbish old onboard graphics. we'll see.

i guess it was part of the agreement with kellogs.

i like dr fred's new/old look - i look forward to seeing how this turns out

1) try dosbox (or a mac version called boxer ) for running the dos games. i don't know if any of the games you're referring to are windows versions, if so that gets slightly trickier, but there are ways to do it if you have an intel mac. 2) yes, scummvm will play the pc versions of the adventure gam...

if ram and storage space aren't a concern, then the limiting factor is likely to be cpu speed. i'm sure monkey island 1 uses a fair bit more cpu power than maniac mansion, and i wouldn't be confident that the c64's old 8 bit cpu is up to the task. i expect someone else will be able to provide a more...

to be fair, the description of this forum is " General chat related to ScummVM, adventure gaming, and so on." which could easily encompass grim fandango. but it's true that grim-specific issues might be better handled in a grim-specific environment - then again, this board probably gets mo...

our first computer was an amstrad cpc which also ran off tapes (tho we got a floppy drive for it at a later date). my dad also had stacks of punch cards lying around, which were used by the mainframes when he worked at ibm years before. computer data actually represented by holes in pieces of card, ...

are you running the latest version of simbl?

yeah, left+right is also used in some games to skip cutscenes.
