That makes sense...by the same notion, someone with the European 'non-microwavable hamster' version should be able to play a rom of the American 'microwavable hamster' version.

Aye, I shan't give up quite yet. Only when all avenues of information have been exhausted will I quit.

OK, Dave Warhol replied, but he doesn't have it either. Here's his reply: I'm glad to hear the game is of lasting interest! I don't have any cartridges, sorry to say, but I don't understand why someone would need a cartridge if you have the ROM image. I would be surprised if the SCUMM code ran or ra...

Mr Crockford replied surprisingly fast and gave me this breif message:

I don't have one. You might ask Dave Warhol at Realtime Associates.

The journey continues...

Hmmm...I might drop him a line and ask him, and if he responds, refer him back here. I'll see what I can do!

It's basically the same as the regular version, but with the bits that were cut out, such as the statue in the hallway and the posters in Ted's room, still intact. I know where you can find it online, would that h...

Greetings, This is probably going to sound fairly 'n00bish'...however, I am given to understand that it is possible to compress COMI's two CD's worth of data files in order to better fit them on a smaller PSP memory card, at some expense of speed. What programs are required to perform this compressi...
