Eternam!

Awesome game btw.

I doubt that East Train station and Central Train station will be the same

@dkh
It would be much easier to pick you up from one of the two SBahn stations I mailed around. From your place you can simply take the S5 to Neuenhagen (Direction Strausberg Nord) and wait there for your pickup.
Isn't it also possible to exit at Ostkreuz instead of Ostbahnhof? From there on you can take the S3 to Friedrichshagen (Direction Erkner) and possible group up with other mitteneers.

If think right-hand traffic isn't a problem for you... That car badge I was talking about to Arjon is about the low emission zone in Berlin. Those badges make sure that your car doesn't emit too much respirable dust and such. If you rent a car, this won't be an issue for you.

The fee should be 3,90 euro, if I get their website right, here's an english version.

I'm pretty sure that most people do speak English in Berlin - at least enough to talk about public transportation

Kconan is right! Please provide the next fix

@Esseb
Without having done the route myself, try this:
1) TXL (Express Bus) to Beusselstr.
2) S41 to Ostkreuz
3) S3 to Friedrichshagen (Direction Erkner)
4) This is as close as you can get, call one of us car owners to get picked up.

Okay, lets start this week with something easy:

1) I haven't found out if there's a bus from our place to one of the S-Bahn stations yet. But getting to Berlin main station and back takes about 30 minutes via S-Bahn, so that's the preferred way.

2) I better hope so. The previous tenants leave at 10.am and we get the keys at 15:00 - so they have 5 hours to fix everything the others broke Volume limited internet rates are still quite uncommon in Germany. The biggest carrier recently announced one, but it will be introduced in 2015 so we should be safe. But prosecution of dubious file sharing activities is a problem. Better leave those bit torrent clients at home


Christina and I need about 1 hour to be at the Hamburg Airport and we plan to reach Berlin at 14:00. So everything between 08:00 and 10:30 pm should be fine.

Coooould this be by the same guys who did ZZT? I think I even had this on a shareware disk

That midi sounds terrific btw. - a lot better than what I was used to hear from Epic Megagames.
--edit:

oh well, I try to solve it:
Is it Dare to Dream?

Could this be a Windows 3.x game?

Sorry for the delay, of course Scavenger is right!
@Gribbler I have to admit that I also had my "computer scientist moments" with the Amiga

Hey, that's an impressively long time span! I ditched the Amiga around '92, after my A2000 died of the leaking battery.
It didn't have an HDD anyway, so playing Indy 4 and MI2 would have been a disk swapping nightmare.

Then I bought a used A1200 in 2000 because there still wasn't a great pixel painter on the PC (hooray for DPaint V).
The game I'm looking for was only two years old by the time I bought the A1200 (hint#2). And yes, it's a commercial title and I was pretty stunned, that the "old" machine had an adventure, you couldn't have on the PC
And hint#3 - it's a german/italien co-production, I even found a review from Amiga Magazyn on the interwebs
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/HnmmT8B.jpg[/imgzoom]

I bet at the time this game was release you've dumped the Amiga long ago
You also needed an AGA chipset for this one (A1200, CD32 etc).

Hint #1 - it's a late Amiga title

Will it be possible we get picked up from the railway station when we arrive on Saturday?

Of course, just tell me your time of arrival at Friedrichshagen and I'll be there.

@AGA We just need to make all excursions until thursday and recover afterwards

@everyone else: If you haven't supplied you times of arrival, please consider it. It'll save lots of phone costs on Saturday

Well, the urban railway station are 5 to 7 km from our place.
We have two cars with four free seats (each) at a time, so it is possible to get us all going - it just takes longer. We also have 10 bikes at the house, even though I don't know if locks are included.

Ja, sehr gut und Glück gehabt.
Aaanyway I've just sent out the payment informations to those who haven't payed full.

Btw. Is anyone else coming by car? Because here's a little drawback: You need a green environmental badge to drive in Berlin downtown. Christina's car doesn't have one, so we're just bringing one car.

@Arjon and Tamara: I'm afraid you need this badge, if you plan to drive around in Berlin. So please visit this site to order one (or hope not to get caught )

Ah, sorry for the confusion. It's a typo, here's what they said as copy and paste.

Zak McKracken?

from the palette I guess it's a Coktel Vision game, but which?
