Yes, it was almost worse than figuring out puzzles in a game. I played it on 
the weekend -nearly finished. Are you finished it?

There were three things in the game I didn't like, but all in all, it's a 
good game and nice graphics and acting is much like the original BS games. I 
like the point and click games that you don't use the keyboard. I just 
finished re-playing "Relentless" (North American name) -Little Big Adventure 
1, in UK and Europe. It's an adventure/action type game made in early mid 
90's. I played it when it came out and once a long time ago.its a long game, 
and very difficult IMO. Completely different type game than BS
("real" adventure games :). The saved game feature in LB1 is bad, but around 
the second half of the game, it saved smaller segments and was more 
"forgiving", so if you can get past the early parts of the game, I found the 
game interesting and challenging with good acting and some cute characters. 
Twinsen's Odyssey (LBA 2) is the sequel and you can save games when you 
want. Both games are good with many fans.

Have you played LBA 1 or 2? and have you used Dosbox? BTW, both those games 
are available on Gog.com. for $5.99 each (Win XP,Vista and Win 7) which is a 
good price and we don't have to worry about mailing the game. Games are 
downloadable. I've bought a few games there.

I tried Win Rar a few times and found it more confusing than WinZip. Winzip 
has "extract" and "add " and "view". I used extracted but maybe could have 
used "add" but if they didn't need any extracting, but wouldn't extract 
anyway.

I don't like touch screens. Good that you have a good system now. I bought a 
laptop last year. Laptops are much better than they were even a few years 
ago. It has win 7 which I don't much care for. But I mostly use my desktop 
bought 2.5 years ago. It had Vista in it when I bought it which is OK, but I 
installed Win XP which I like better. I used win 98 for a long time too -I 
liked it best.
