Hi all. Well for christmas I got future boy, here are my first impressions. 1. the manuals. Good you need to get textpal from www.empowermentzone.com/palsetup.exe if you are going to have any hope of getting a readable file. If you don't then you will get lines running together, there is also a garbage line at the top of the document which could be some ansi code that tp does not recognise, you can safely delete it. NOt that you really need the manual.
The registration page is weird. when you get to the part about which os, how do you put a check mark in the form, I just put my os on the first line of the os section and answered yes in the bracketed fields although I'd have thought that there actually be a registration program not a manual one. Oh since i have brought the game what are the benifits on registering the game its not like you need to put in any activation key or anything. 2. the game. Its real good, and the hints are good with all the humor. One note is that the game does not display all hints only on a situation by situation basis. Thats fine unless you forget what the heck you need or you are not aware on what you need. This has lead after 4 hours of game play to me doing something out of order because I had no idea of the order at the time and I had to restart because I now am missing something I needed before. And unfortunately this will now have to wait for another time as there are more selebrations to go to and being boxing day and all the sales I actually need new shoes and things. I am also dissapointed that there is no sapi5 or better support. Do not use sapi4 unless you have something remotely good like viavoice or something, actually its easier to use hal orpheus. And thats another thing., I can't get the game to read in jaws 6.20, only hal. There is also a graphics menu at the start which I mannaged to somehow get to stay off the screen. I also turned graphics off. My over all opinion is this game is worth playing, and buying, hugo is the most accessible engine I can see. The game play area seems to be above the menus though which is a godsend for hal. Also is the fact that only the current screen of text is shown. The game has shortcommings however, however I wish there were more like it, maybe I will be getting more hugo adventures from now on, Previously I had pc exe files dos, frotz and tads, but getting access in the os windows reminds me more of the os than the game, as I need to focus on navigation rather than actual gameplay and I can't get emerced in the actual gameplay. Another note to viewing the trailers and things. Don't view the trailer file view the normal file. I presume that most of you use mediaplayer classic in the klite mega codec pack, the large file will not view, I've tried it. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
