It has nothing to do with the letters of the words. It has to do with the properties/definitions of the words themselves.

The guy's email from 2001 in the readme is no longer valid. I found another game that guy made and he was using a guest account on the forums. I think contacting him will be impossible.

I'd say if you can fix it then feel free, it can only be a good thing. I finally got the game running by using PCem with windows 98, I needed help to set that up, and I had to play it using a laggy keyboard for mouse, which is a problem specific to my computer.

Might I suggest some sort of NSFW tag on Davy Jones C'est Mort or a warning? I am worried about keeping my full stream on twitch because of a certain scene there which may violate Twitch's guidelines, a bit of a warning about that kind of a scene that it isn't kid-friendly or SFW might be nice to have.

As I was playing/streaming the first 9 games I noticed some characters appearing in game that weren't listed on the game description pages. Should all characters that appear be listed as "Featured Characters"? And if so would it be helpful if I listed them? If so I can make a list as I come across them.

I'm gonna have to say 0 points.

Not sure but it looks like a goomba turned into a cube-shaped dog.

Hint for those who want it:

Spoiler

The rule isn't mathematical in nature.

I solved the error that only seemed to be affecting me, I put in the solution in case it happens to anyone else.

Now there are just 2 games left that I can't run (besides the RON quiz that isn't so important), but again for some reason the dialogue in that game seems to only be affecting me.

Kumpel: 3 points, and I tend to do that sorry

dayowlron: 2 points

You would execute this statement in repeatedly_execute or repeatedly_execute_always:

if (IsTimerExpired(1) == 1) {
oObjectX.Visible = False
Character.LoseInventory(InventoryItem ItemX);
}

Otherwise it seems logically sound to me.

I am getting a new laptop in 3 days in which case I'll have to re-test these.

Invasion of the Space Aliens is weird because if I try to change the settings with winsetup, even if I don't change any values causes crashes and the default settings result in an empty dialogue/game freeze when I talk to anyone in Scid's.

Thanks!

Updated those 2 games with the list.

[Working in DOSBox]

I have downloaded all of the RotN games and would like to play them in order as they appear on the games page. I downloaded them all and tested them, and have come up with a list of all games that don't function or are missing or that require special setups to use in modern OS (Windows 10, 64 bit.) I thought it might be useful to see which games are not working and if anyone has fixes for them or can locate the missing files.

Working in DOSBox

Game 3- The Soviet Union Strikes Back
Game 19- Scoop Da Poop (Press control-z after inputting game name according to the readme file)
Game 20- Punk Allen Trilogy (Press control-z after inputting game name according to the readme file)
Game 21- Strange Days (Press control-z after inputting game name according to the readme file)
Game 10- Nightwatch

If you get a DPMI error with these games:
Download this https://sourceforge.net/projects/ucon64/files/ucon64misc/ucon64misc/csdpmi5b.zip/download?use_mirror=netix&download=
And put CWSDPMI.EXE in the game folder

Fix for modern system issues

This fix is for if you have a game such as the one I had in Game 29- Invasion of the Space Aliens, where certain dialogue was appearing blank and causing game freezes.
Might work for other issues too, but that particular one had me stumped because it was ONLY affecting my 2 gaming laptops and worked for everyone else.

Right click the game executable, details, version, and look at the version. This is the version of the DOS engine you'll need. Get a working engine with that version or maybe the version above if that doesn't work from AGS archives or AGS Wiki, copy over acdos.exe to the game folder.

Finally make a .bat file with the text

Code: ags

acdos.exe gamename.exe

replacing gamename.exe with the name of the executable and it should then run.

Weird error/fix

If you get the following error with any game:



It means that your folder/path name is too long, shorten it and it should solve your problem.

Other Problematic Games

Game 63- Zombie Hill gives the following message, and won't run anywhere, just crashes:



Game 39- ROTN Quiz Game 2

This game was missing a dll on my computer, I had to download it from Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/EN-US/help/180071
Then the dll that it came with, Gif89.dll, I couldn't manage to register.

Should I start giving hints?
