I just bought this game since i remember it beeing a great title. I fully expected it to have aged poorly but to my surprise i was still impressed by it.

Anyone currently reviewing this one? If not ill have a go at it. Though im a slow writer and player. I have completed the game previously but would like to do so again before writing anything.

Oh, and ill need some help editing the text prior to posting swell :)

Thx

Genesis or Sega CD version? Either one is ok for reviewing. No one has it covered, so feel free to tackle it! I can handle the proofreading once it's done. I'll send it back to you for approval before it goes up.

Yep. Damn, three versions and not a single review.

Take your pick Max, they're all yours!

Well, I only have the Genesis (MD) version. Too bad, it would have been cool to compare the 3 versions.

Anyway, knowing how bad a player I am nowadays ill get starting with this lil bugger ASAP so that we actually might get a review done before the end of the year :)

Shockingly enough im pretty much done already :)

Ill read it through yet another time tomorrow before submitting it to Melf. Meanwhile ill try to get an english dictionary installed. Open Office really hates me though so im not sure ill be able to spellcheck it.

Game was as great as i remembered it and will receive a fairly high score.

1025 words so far.

They have a few programs on the open office website which will install any dictionary (for spell checking) for you. They make the install much easier. All you have to do is open the program and tell it which dictionaries you want. It downloads them and installs them for you. Here is a link.

I've used one of them before without any problems. I'm not sure which though. I think it might have been DicOOo Macro.

Thats what should happen yes, however, open office is crap and it wont allow me to change between languages after i installed swedish laguage support.

Im so going back to MS office.

I've used open office for about a year now and its always allowed me to change between the different languages that I have installed.

Dont know what is wrong. I tried all the setting i could find. I change it to English US, but every single time it just reverts back to swedish after the first wordcheck.

Anyway, ive already emailed it to Melf. Im not entierly pleased with the flow of the text, but its kinda hard to make it sound right. I can sense the problem when reading it but my english isnt good enough to correct it.

Have you tried under Tools>Options
Like this picture shows.

Thats how I've always been able to change the language.

You are supposed to be able to change the language under writing aides as well, but I've never actually tried to do it that way.

yeppers, tried that and under language aids.

Also tried Tools/Language and changing language after spellchecker starts.

Have you tried editing the spell checker preferences under writing aides.

Yeah, i called it laguage aides above thoug, my bad.

Well I'm out of suggestions. The only other thing I can think of would be installing a newer version of Open Office, but I doubt that that will solve your problem.

Thanx for the advice. I found another solution to the problem though. DC++
