Dammit, it’s looking like I’m going to have to format and re-install my OS again.
But — I finally got a copy of Alice II. I finally got it to work with my hinky hardware on a particular instance of OS installation.
And, I finally got past the point where I was stuck forever; the kind of sticky place in a PC game that I used to pay my son three bucks to get me past when he was about ten years old.
(How did I get past it this time, you ask? Well, he’s grown up now, and he did it for free. :D)
Is there any way of saving my game progress to another drive? This game is very much unlike the oldschool games I’m familiar with – I don’t even know if it has a “savegame” file.
