No way was it your fault, Omuletzu. You did the best you could with the OS you had - and, as you said, you clearly indicated on your review that you hadn't tested it with winxp. You did a great job, Omuletzu, both with your superb review and fabulous screenshots.

I've found a patch for it that might work on XP. If not, I've got another version that Puffin is testing on her system. Thanks, Puff!

I'm not prepared to test the games as well. (I don't have winxp, anyway) It already takes me many hours to do each update, and there aren't enough hours in the day. But if a game needs more or new screenshots, then I'll download it and play to get those. If someone/s wants to put up their hand to be the official Abandonia Tester, that's great! But this should be what the reviewer does - not only write a review but test the game with whatever their system is - and then just do what Omuletzu did - say in the review what system you tested it on.

This game isn't put in any genre (actually it's in genre "puzzl" instead of "puzzle") so you can only open game link from news page!

Fixed. This must have happened because of the problems with the game having apostrophes in the name. Initially it didn't show up on the site at all and Kosta had to do something so it would be accepted. When it did show up, some game information was missing. I noticed it wasn't in a genre and thought this might be because Kosta had taken it offline.

Btw, someone has just told me that they downloaded the HOTU version and experienced EXACTLY the same problems with it as they did with this version.

I'm a bit confused, here. Now there's a patch available from the Abandonia games site, but the game itself is not available, there.

I've uploaded the patch for when the game is restored...and/or for those who have d/l a copy and might be having this particular problem. Also there are a few people testing the game who can access the patch from here as part of the testing process.

it's removed (not sure if it comes back) due to amount of problems that xp people have with it.
