"Can we run the old AITD games??" = "Can we play the games?"

"can i run??" = "Can I make the character run?"

Ah, the importance of grammar. Or is it grammer? Whichever, it's important.

At any rate - you can, but I never figured out how. Supposedly you can run if you double-tap a direction key, but it never really worked for me.

It's most certainly grammar, but it's one of those many misspelled words, like definitely that is so prolific we don't usually bother correcting them anymore. Ah, the wonderful world of apathy. But you're right, Rui, Ray-O's post is only vaguely legible. It could've been a lot better worded, but at least it got the point across, after a fashion. At least I think I'm responding to the right question.

So, Ray-O, I'm fairly certain that you could run in Alone in the Dark. I remember playing that ol' thing when I was twelve. So many floppies... Anyway, running is covered on page seven of the game's manual. If you've lost your manual, you can see it here. As Rui said, it's essentially a double-tap of the direction you want to move, if you don't want to bother RTFM-ing, as it were - though a quick read through the documentation often works wonders, and is great nostalgia.

Now, I'm also fairly certain that this thread belongs in the hints and tips forum, but I'm no moderator, so I shan't complain. I also wonder: Why bother writing an acronym, if you plan on typing out the meaning right after anyway?

I don't really think this belongs anywhere but here since it's about a game that has nothing to do with AGS.  Also running is possible with Alone in the Dark, and after a short search it works by double tapping a directional key and then holding the key down.
