AGStinger Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Remember all the craziness when I named Pepper's Adventures in Time #19 on the Top 20 Adventure Games of All-Time? Now, you can see what the fuss is all about: game producer Mark Seibert has posted the game (in the form of .zip files for each of the floppy disks) for download on his website. http://www.markseibert.com/the_full_game.htm I know that it works on Windows ME if you use MoSlo; I have not tried it on Windows XP. Have fun! ~stinger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosferatu Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Thanks for the info, Stinger! Know I will have something to fall back on if I don't have enough time to dig out my copy from storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomStLeger Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Thats really cool! But it's still technically Abandonware isn't it? Or has Sierra allowed him to release his game for free? Oh and anyone know what type of game the company he is working for now, Gentle Revolution Software, is making? Edit: Space Station Sim. Not an ag, but seems interesting. http://www.gentlerevolutionsoftware.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJKO Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 For those having graphical problems: You need to use 256 colour mode. It's in the Control Panel - Display - Settings, Colors(change that to 256) But I'm having another error, when Uncle Fred's about to change Ben Franklin's history the game gives me the error message: "Out of heap space." and then exits. Anyone know what's wrong? EDIT: Thanks to Dom, the problem's solved. A slow-down program is needed to get rid of that Heap Space error. I'm running Win2k, so I can confirm the the game works on Win2k with a slow-down application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingzjester Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 I don't have a disk drive. Actually, I do. It is attached to the machine. But it is the same floppy drive that migrated from my old 486 from ten years ago through all the computers I had since. And it doesn't work. Besides, a spider lives inside.

Wajus Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 You don't need disk drive for Pepper's at all. If that's what you mean of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJKO Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Yes, despite what Mark's website says, it's not neccessary to unzip everything to floppy disks and installing from them. It's enough to just unzip them to the root of your hard drive(normally, C:\ ) using the default folders (Disk1, Disk2, etc.) and then directing the installer to the directories on your hard drive when it asks for the disks.

It works for everybody... except for me! But if I intall if from disk the installation works fine... only doesn't the game want to start... no error, no nothing...

curacao Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Originally posted by scabb heh, I wonder if this is "warez" or not? stinger wouldn't link to it if it were warez/abandonware - I can say that with certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you need to do is run it with VDMS. Make sure you get a copy of Mo'slo when you get to Fred's, set it to be run in 256 colour, and run with VDMS and you should be able to beat the game then.
