Finding out the real meaning of drafts is half the fun.<br /><br />Tip: Pressing ALT+F5 key combination opens the original load/save menu in ScummVM version. Game manual mentions F5 only but actually it opens the interpreter-like menu which is anticlimactic, especially for this game. Please bear in mind that you cannot enable original menu via ScummVM option (last verified on 1.8.1).<br />qwertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747798871196421602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-67691196165508803802016-10-13T20:21:44.788+11:002016-10-13T20:21:44.788+11:00Not sure whether it occurs only in a FM-Towns vers...Not sure whether it occurs only in a FM-Towns version but you can ignore the egg and try to exit the scene.

For one thing it will increase the number of posts on this blog which gives me more interesting reading material.<br /><br />Another advantage is that we'd probably get to the classics quicker. I'd expect that knowing that readers could pick up the slack, less games will be moved from Disregarded/borderline for Trickster to play, giving him more time to play the genuine classics while someone else plays the more obscure games.
