I just did my own mini speedrun to get to the insult swordfighting part as quickly as possible, to confirm for the post above that the troll-insult really is available immediately. I was frustrated even doing that and it still took ages, so hats off to the real speedrunners who can get through the whole game in half an hour while streaming. Of course, my run was slightly impeded by thinking "pot? I don't need that" while running through the SCUMM Bar kitchen, before remembering that money is useful for buying a sword and paying Captain Smirk. Waiting for the cook to emerge on the second attempt somehow took an incredibly long time.

It's true! You can use the dog insult straight away in the swordfighting bit if you get him to say this. This whole piece of conversation acts as a bit of a primer to the insult swordfighting concept, really. You can either "defeat" the troll with an insult he has no comeback for, "lose" with "Oh yeah?" (which ends the conversation) or end up with a middle result, where he gives you the insult above. It has no impact on how you get past him, of course!

It would be interesting to know if some of the weirder glitches happen in the original interpreters as well as in ScummVM, like the one where the shopkeeper walks directly up to the safe instead of going up the staircase, and the one where you can "warp" to the beach if you click in the right place. In theory they should be the same if ScummVM is a perfect interpreter, but as you say I bet it's subtly different!

What, you're too good to open ScummVM yourself now? Got to get your minions to do your dirty work? 😡 Well, luckily for you it's been a long time since I played Passport to Adventure, and I was intrigued! The other doors do work as shortcuts, apart from the one that gets you onto the town walls and the one housing the mysterious rubber chicken shoppe. Which is awesome, and a thing I'd totally forgotten happens! Super cool.

I watched the top video yesterday. It's really good! Great to see it going into so much depth and being so well-produced - I assume the guy used the ultimate talkie edition to get the clips of the game with voiceover. I learned a few surface level, simple things I didn't realise about MI1. Sometimes when you first visit the shop, the shopkeeper is already gone? Didn't know that! And you can learn one of the swordfighting insults from the troll? Didn't know that either! And some of the responses can be used on multiple insults? Hmm, I might have realised that in the past, but good to see it confirmed! I liked the revelation that taking the "shortcut" doors through Melee town is actually a trap, because it's slower than taking the long way around - unless you use the Ctrl+R trick to snap the screen into place (and I didn't know you could do that either). It's always felt like using the doors doesn't save you much time, but I've always done it anyway because it's fun.

Phew! Remi tried his best to throw me off track with fake yellows, but I still got there in the end. 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 6/6 💛💚🖤💚💚 🖤💚🖤💚💚 🖤💚💛💚💚 🖤💚🖤💚💚 🖤💚💚💚💚 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

I've just tried it in ScummVM and you can't go back there. I'd say this is a Spiffy the Dog scenario - something that used to be in the game, but temporal agents have travelled back in time to remove it in order to avert some unforeseen disaster arising from its inclusion - but I don't remember being able to revisit the docks when I first played the game, either.

There's an interesting bit in the comments (always read the comments!) that says the site in question is known for offering copyright infringing copies of real items, so it looks like that's what the reviewer got. Which means there must be a legit item out there somewhere - the diary contents are quite impressive if the item is a pure scam, after all - it's just a question of finding it. Your life's work begins here, TP.
