   Appreciate the explanation! Still, great game for 1988 and at least we get to play it without load ttimes, so restarting isn't as big a problem.

   I don't want to search for this since I always inadvertently read spoilers. Does Maniac Mansion let you know you've reached a dead end? Are there a lot of dead ends in the game?

   If going the Deluxe route, do you recommend the original game or ScummVM?

   Which would you recommend playing first, Maniac Mansion or 5 Days a Stranger? I use an old 32-bit Windows 7 laptop for gaming. These should run fine on there, right? I also have an old macOS High Sierra 2010 MacBook Air, but I didn't find Mac instructions for any of these games.

9. What change would make you quit Tildes?

   ~tildes Ask (survey)

   I'm curious to see how many have as strong opinions as me about Tildes. I'll go first. I'd quit if the site shifted away from a text-only philosophy.

    Could you share which laptop this was exactly and from where? I'm seeing X13s going from the 100s to the 600s. Anything else you can share about the experience? Does it dock well, for example? I'm upgrading from a very old ThinkPad and too used to the eraserhead and CTRL key placement to consider anything else.
