It is unfortunately only beta version but I presume that it could work on these systems. □ This case is probably more frustrating, I´ve never heard about someone who developed satisfactory platonic relationship with the game that refuses to work. □ Hmm, but there is at least space for a platonic relationship, even a little chit chat (if she is not a notorious sleeper) about computer games etc. You´ve chosen a peculiar comparison, if you are a woman. The patch at this moment is just as useful as finding the bedroom key to where the most attractive woman sleeps, sneaking in and realizing that you have no dick. (I also tested the chess and bookcase puzzles and the game crashes at both of them.) The patch at this moment is just as useful as finding the bedroom key to where the most attractive woman sleeps, sneaking in and realizing that you have no dick. Other than that, I don't know what the patch is good for anyway if the game freezes at any puzzle and the game is built on puzzles, that is what it's mainly about. It runs if I set the mode to NT, but crashes anyway (which is especially odd, since the patch is said to be for 95/98/NT), just as if I start it under Win2000 mode (under Win2000 -stupid, huh?). mode to 95 or 98 it doesn't even run at all. The game crashes for me if I simply start v32win.exe, and by starting it with APCOMPAT setting comp. Yes, Jiri, this is more than ironic, I bet you have XP, and apparently the compatibility mode 'emulates' Win2000 better than Win2000 itself. Sorry for not writing earlier (damn exams.). (Size: 202Kb)Īlso, if anyone has any ideas how to get the sequel to the game, 11th Hour run, please give a reply, since DosBox does not yet support it, it doesn't seem to be working anyhow under Win2000, and I'd love to play it. In case the only source closes down, I have the file, so if anyone wants it badly, I may upload it somewhere, or send it to them. You may get it from here, and follow the instructions in the zipped readme file. The only page I found it available is this. Unfortunately, the company has gone bankrupt (see ), consequently their homepage is also down for good, from which one could download the patch. Trilobyte created a 7th Guest patch, which enables the game to run in Win95/98/NT environment, but I was reported that the patch also works for XP, and I am currently testing it under Win2000 (it's not perfect, but seems to be working right and enjoyable so far). Unfortunately, DosBox (ver.0.60) does not yet fully give an optional performance of this game (I wasn't able to run it under Win2000, and I also understand that on the DosBox game compatibility page the guy who tested it reports limited compatibility), so I suggest that until it does, you do the following. I hope you can figure out what the Maps and Tips sections are for.In case anyone's interested, and wants to run this great spooky Trilobyte game under any of the above mentioned systems, there is an easy solution. The glossary proves handy when you need to figure out what in the world that strange-sounding word means, while the Lore and Sights sections will fill you in on the popular myths of Scotland. Not only does it have a spot for saved games, but also a tips section, maps, lore, photos, and a glossary. The Guidebook will become your constant friend and companion. All the saved game photos are lined up, so that you can easily choose the one you want. The photos are then saved in the Guidebook, under the photos section (naturally). When you click on the camera icon and then click on save, the camera will flash and take a still picture of where you are. Clandestiny has a unique way of saving a game, one that I found to be quite fun. Perseverance, in this world, is rewarded with more video scenes of Clandestiny's 40-minute animated story. I enjoy a challenge, and while some of the games were fairly easy to figure out, there were a number that had me stumped for a while. The difficulty levels range from nervous to cowardly to brave - basically from "my 5 year old could solve this in one move" to "what in the world is my goal here?" This reviewer tried the game on all three settings and decided that the brave level was the one for me. The "games" in Clandestiny include logic puzzles, AI games, and door riddles.
