After about two years of trying to get the old classic Twinsen to play on multiple versions of windows, I sat down and did a web search to see if anyone else had a solution. Apparently I am not alone in my love of Twinsens Adventure. There are whole chat sites devoted to it....and you can't get it to play under windows (its a DOS game). Unless of course you get the patch someone has written just so you can play it on the more advanced computers. They've even put a maximum speed limiter on it so the faster processors don't make it run too fast. Last night I played it for a whole hour (after reading some papers for my thesis).
The only issue I have is the very weird save game system that I'd forgotten about. Its very easy to screw something up and not be able to go back to an earlier version. You have to save a copy and then you play the original. If you screw up, make a copy of the copy before you play it or you could end up screwing up again and the original copy will be updated with the screw up.
Speaking of my thesis, I'm currently enjoying writing lit review and feeling frustrated if I have to go do something else....weird...must take advantage of this aberation and go write some more :)
