Hey guys,

This site has a write up about some Lucasarts games. There is info on how The Dig came to be, as well as lots of differences between different versions of some games. Interesting read.

Check it out at http://home.comcast.net/~ervind/

FM Towns was a Fujitsu PC system (released around 1989) which had more multimedia capabilities than other systems at the time. Seems that it only gained any popularity in Japan for a short while.

See more at http://www.old-computers.com/museum/...asp?c=968&st=1

Actually there were some nice upgrades made to games targeted for FM Towns. I know there was a Ultima VI version out that had speech in it. Check http://originmuseum.solsector.net/beuche/

I'd seen all them. And from a better looking site. In fact that's where they got them from. Except for that Mac Loom. It doesn't suit the game. The font I mean.

I have it. The original with Full Throttle and Dark Forces demo. (Yes, the game and demo came with it. How odd.)
