I played Zak FM-Towns half a year ago without problems, but haven't had the time or desire to play it again with the latest ScummVM.

Interestingly, Apple has approved a Commodore 64 emulator for an iPhone app . The makers had to remove the BASIC interpreter as it allowed for the running of arbitrary code, but it does have a built-in store of some kind. I'm not saying the ScummVM crew should now jump on making a formal iPhone app,...

Moonstone - A Hard Day's Knight.

I managed to finish that game only once. You could avoid the dragon with a potion, and if you were really good and well-armed, you could actually kill it (though usually, you would be eaten in a very comical fashion).

I dumped EPROMS on a prototype board connected to the LPT port on my PC. It took about four 74xx chips and a 5V power supply. Not exactly "expensive", but not for everyone either ;-) Also not something that the original makers of the console were very enamoured of. Though I have no idea i...

I didn't find another keyboard shortcut in the manual, but the two-button click works.

I can play now :). I hope the global shortcuts can still be fixed in a future version.

Thanks,

Re: Future Wars on OSX -> no saving?

Pressing both mouse buttons should bring up a system menu, but do Macs in general have two-button mice? (Most of my Macintosh knowledge comes from 80'ies.) I think there's a keyboard shortcut as well, but if so it should be mentioned in the game's manual. You can get mice with any number of buttons...

Future Wars on OSX -> no saving?

Dear ScummVM, I was trying to play Future Wars yesterday with the new and shiny v0.12 on OSX 10.4.11, and I found that none of the F5, alt 0-9 and ctrl 0-9 seemed to do anything for loading and saving in Future Wars. I think F5 gave me the operate command, like the manual said. Is this something any...
