If by "1995 deluxe version" you mean the one with speech, it does exist for both DOS and Windows. I have it from the Roberta Williams Anthology, and I used to play it under DOS on my 3.1 machine. (EDIT: And no, I'm not mixing up the AGI version with the SCI/speech version!) I'm sure that ...

Double-check that there is no DOS version on the disk - there should be one or more of INSTALL.BAT, INSTALL.EXE or one of the DOS SCI interpreters (most likely SCIHUDV.EXE here). Wait, are you telling me that I should have these files or that I shouldn't? What do I need to do with them? If there is...

I'm not sure. Those are both DOS emulators, are they not? This is the Windows only version.

Mother Goose?

Hello, everybody. Recently I purchased a copy of Mixed-Up Mother Goose Deluxe for my sister to play with her young daughter. The game works just fine on my Win98 machine, but doesn't work on her XP machine. It starts fine, but the first voice sample is clipped (when asking you to pick a child), and ...

A question of privacy

I hope this doesn't cross the border of controvercial topics. Yesterday, I was at a memorial service for a member of my church. As it turns out, she was the wife of a rather famous country music star. During the days following her death, a local TV channel broadcast their home address and phone numb...

Beyond social ramifications, GTA is a fun game that allows one to experience an alternate reality, where doing such forbidden things as stealing cars can be accomplished at will. It is, sadly, human nature to wish to try things that are forbidden. This game is a fantasy; which should be left at the...

Tragic that the defining game of our generation is all about committing unending acts of meaningless violence and lewdness. Kind of says something about our society, doesn't it?

I'm afraid that I cannot see Swift's sig or avatar.

As to what qualifies as an RPG, one only need look at the term itself: "Role Playing Game". Hence, it is a game in which one must play a role. In other words, get into the character. Quid pro quo.

This is a little crude, but it's something that was told to a guy I work with when his wife was about to give birth.

He said to put some chocolate between her legs. All kids love candy, so when they smell the chocolate, they'll just come right out!
