no you have to start from scratch - no saving.
I would be interested in getting hold of some old adventure games as my son would like to play them. Being blind there are very few games out there which he can enjoy, but his screen reader could cope with text based adventure games pretty easily.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

It was a great day when I finally finished The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I got my life back.
Nowadays I have to put up with things like Ratchet & Clank.Comment

I played the game years ago, but never got close to finishing it and my copy is on a 5.25 floppy (yes I am that old).
Another game that I loved but never finished was Zak McKraken and the Alien Mind benders. Would love a copy of that to finish. (No good to you as not text).I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Ahhhh, I remember Adventure well. I did actually manage to get to the end of it once and won. Sign of a mispent youth I suspect
Way back in the mists of time, I recall playing it on a teletype terminal (Old Decwriter III as far as I can remember). You youngun's probably don't know what I'm talking about but it was a computer terminal which had no screen but simply a large, large box of paper feeding into it onto which everything you typed (and the computer responses) was printed.
Thanks for the link whoever it was put it up. I shall probably have a sneaky go when no-ones watching .....
Nostalgia - what would we do without it? The old ones really are the best...
