There is nothing new under the sun.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Forty years after its original release, The Oregon Trail comes to the 3DS.

Does this count as part of the nostalgia boom?

Did you guys tweak the spell functions for the v2.0 release? I seem to remember being unable to remove spells from the original even with debug mode (or am I just remembering incorrectly?). In any case, I very much appreciate the ability to remove Zap from my honest Paladin-in-training hybrid. Of co...

The magic map is in the same place as the original; you just need to figure out where to click. It's worth three points. Dealing with Smaude in a peaceful manner requires a bit of daring. Why don't you try facing her directly? Petrifying her nets you two points while the peaceful method will give yo...

So then there are indeed six Klutz actions (three non-fatal falls, breaking Baby Behr's chair, walking into the anchor, and the faceplant)? In any case, I'd forgotten about the fall at the base of the mountain. That makes three Klutz actions that don't interfere with any other awards (the anchor req...

Blue Hedgehog is not necessarily incompatible with Rise and Shine; you just have to be REALLY fast and lucky. Sloth is not incompatible with Goldilocks but it is incompatible with Perfectionist, 'Enry the 'ermit, and Dolittle (due to the chickens). Lightweight is not incompatible with Perfectionist ...

The work is complete. I give you all the best result (so far as I can determine). Behold...nineteen awards! Of course, some awards can be switched (Legenimor and Lightweight, for example), but I don't think anyone can get more than nineteen at once, debug mode or no. However, if the chickens are eve...

MP3, no. OGG, yes.

Who's Medusa? Do you mean Smaude?

As TriniMage said, trying dealing with Smaude in a more peaceful manner.

Well, that's what I can remember, but I could be wrong. Please verify that I think you are. Unless there's some other interaction I'm missing (or you just caught a lucky glitch), I can't get Grudge by making the cookie during Manny's first journey, waking him from his nap, and then giving him the t...

At least is not like that SQ4 puzzle in which you have to save before buying a plug model, then play until you know which plug design you have to buy, then load your game and buy the correct one. :p Technically, that's just the "simpler" way to do it. You can get into the Super Computer, ...

But you also had to wait for him to return from a second trip, didn't you? If you wake him up manually, he won't ask for food, after all. This is interesting. If the trigger for Grudge is actually making the cookie before Manny returns from his first trip and not using it at the first meal, Grudge i...

It might be related to the awards. I never had this problem until I completed all of the awards. Now, the game always crashes at the end. Would you like me to ZIP and attach the crash dump and awards file?

Grudge - I got this even after Manannan went to sleep (but I woke him up), unless "sleep" doesn't count as journey So you missed the first journey, woke Manny up from his nap, and then gave him the tainted porridge after his second journey? Are you sure that worked for Grudge, because doe...

What?! Someone had to say it.

You do realize anyone without a Facebook account can't see that, right?

Heh-heh-heh...it's appropriate.

Not possible either. The code to open the lab is generated when you read the journal for the first time. Until then, no code will work. Yeah, Erpy? TriniMage noticed that the code is set when you pick up the book, not when you open it. I confirmed her work. Check here . You gotta love it when the e...

One new question I have is for the Dolittle Award. I noticed there are multiple conversations to overhear for some of the animals. Are all of them required, because I seem to have possibly found a bug. If Alex overhears the birds talking about the library first, I can never overhear them talking ab...

It seems possible to guess the code without the book except there are so many permutations... That is an understatement. Five possible entries in each of ten positions and alternately ordered repetitions are considered different entries. In other words, it's five to the tenth power - that's 9,765,6...

As has been said elsewhere, you can transfer the seawater from your cup to the flask. That lets you complete both the Flight and Music spells after heading down the mountain once and thus can cut you down to two trips down the mountain. If you're fast enough, you can pick up all the remaining ingred...
