We used to have it on a diskette but at least I didn&#8217;t find it anymore (Dad had an old disk formatting frenzy a while ago) so I pouted a little and started looking for it. Luckily I did find it, and in the process I found a lovely site for abandoned games (and old games in general), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abandonia.com\">Abandonia<\/a>. I downloaded the DosBox that helps running old games on modern machines and also a couple of games I haven&#8217;t really tried properly yet.<\/p>\n<p>But I did play Indiana today. I&#8217;ve never played it from beginning to finish because we didn&#8217;t have the manual and I never got the hang of fighting. (Instead, I played a little of the beginning and then loaded a save game at the temple in Iskenderun.) After talking to Mac, I found out that one does not have to fight the guards when fleeing Iskenderun. So of course I wanted to try it that way! When I was at the castle, I first tried to be very clever and gave Donovan <em>Indy&#8217;s<\/em> &#8220;Grail Diary&#8221; instead of Henry&#8217;s (Indy&#8217;s dad), but then Henry didn&#8217;t want to go to Berlin which was a must if I wanted to avoid getting caught at guard posts. Finally I met the F&uuml;hrer and got my easy travelling. I even managed to fly the biplane this time! But I&#8217;ll probably play it a second time because I want to fly in the zeppelin, too.<\/p>\n<p>As if I didn&#8217;t have enough games to play, I downloaded some old games from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abandonia.com\">Abandonia<\/a>. But I think Vampire is my #1 priority. (I got past a couple of difficult fights again on Wednesday\/Thursday &#8212; all I can say is, Katana is great!! Slash slash slash and enemies go down like&#8230; hay!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From a conversation with Mac I got a bad itch to play Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
