No need to get personal, 4ORE5iGHT, I wasn't trying to be holier than thou. In fact, you misunderstood me. I'm not saying most software companies aren't acting greedily and only care about making money from their games. But that doesn't change anything about the fact that it's their right to do so and the law is clearly on their side. And if they choose to hold on to the rights while at the same time making it as hard as possible for people to get and play those games, it may seem outrageously unfair to us, but that still doesn't give us the right to obtain and/or distribute those games illegally. The legal situation is pretty clear in that respect; just because few people (if any) are prosecuted for possessing an illegal copy of a computer game, that doesn't necessarily mean the law is "flexible". The excuse that "everybody does it" certainly wouldn't hold as a justification in court.

About the emulator games, I wouldn't know. I've never played any as far as I know. But again, even if a law is completely ludicrous, that doesn't give us the right to break it at will.

On topic again: wasn't it F5 which brought up the save menu in all Lucas Arts games anyway?

That's what I thought too.

Anybody else upset that LucasArts has redone their company store and it no longer offers the Sam&Max/Day of the Tentacle/Fate of Atlantis/etc. compilations? When did this happen? Does that mean that eBay is now the only place to find these games?

You can still get the games relatively cheap in the stores at least here in Sweden.

They haven't been translated into Swedish, though, have they? What a shame. It would have been such a great excuse: "No, I'm not playing computer games. I'm working on my Swedish vocabulary."

Hehe, nope and thank God for that. I absolutely hate it when they translate things from english into swedish. It sounds so corny. Luckily they seldom translate. Most swedes speak/read english.

*edit*

I once bought a translated (one of the few) version of the Longest Journey. It was HORRIBLE, listenening to the dialogues in that game. It was like watching a kiddie show. *shivers*. Luckily Xplosiv released an english version of the game for ?4 that I recently bought. It's nice to hear the dialouges as they were meant to be heard.

mdag , you are writing !

O Yeh :Brain:! I have a working copy of Day of the Tentacle in English with voices!

Hello. I have the game running in windows xp through Scummvm And I have background music sound effect and dialouge in the games cut scenes. But other than that the voices do not show up. I get subtitles even when they are not checked. I dont understand why the voices show up in the cut scenes like when u first go down the clock ect. Can somebody give me some advice on getting the voices working? thank you.

That could be because you're not playing the CD version. If I remember correctly, there was a version which came on a bunch of floppy discs and which didn't have speech throughout.
