Living books scummvm3/6/2023 Now that I finally got the Mac platform for the V1.0 version of The New Kid on the Block, I've uploaded the four V1.0s for the Mac here on MEGA. I also have the Macintosh platforms for the four V1.0s. I've uploaded V1.0s for all the first four titles in their MPC Windows platforms on MEGA. The original V1.0 versions predate the hybrid format, so the MPC Windows and Macintosh versions were shipped on separate discs. The Tortoise and the Hare V1.0 has been uploaded to. The Ruff's Bone preview also had one difference from the later version of the preview: Towards the end, a line was changed from "Then get Broderbund's Living Book, Ruff's Bone!" to "Then get Living Books' Ruff's Bone!" due to the series turning into a joint venture with Random House. The first two games had previews for Arthur's Teacher Trouble and The Tortoise and the Hare. V1.0 releases of the first four games (1992-1993)ĭespite the 1994 re-releases by Random House being available on eBay, the original V1.0 Broderbund releases of the first four games from 1992-1993 are becoming hard to find online. It finally came in the mail last night, so I've uploaded the game itself as an ISO image, along with scans of the covers and CD label, to MEGA. This version, however was very scarce to find on eBay, and I have recently bought it and will upload that one on MEGA as well. This was only an international release, and it is stated that it has become extinct because it only appeared in the magazine of the same name. Now you're gonna have to run the game on a Windows XP computer because this version of the game won't work on ScummVM.Īrthur's Teacher Trouble (Found PC Guide version, 1999)ĭespite the V1.0 version of the game that can be found on eBay, Living Books Wiki stated there is also a PC Guide version released in 1999. Editing the outline file, I also included the Arthur's Teacher Trouble preview at the end of the story because there was no Previews button on the Options page. EXE application "LBPLAY" doesn't work on any Windows computer, so I injected the "DIB" device driver, the "GRANDMA.EXE" application, "FILE.DLL", "RSRC.DLL" and the "PAGES" 512 outline file from the 1992 512x384 MPC platform to replace the original files to make it playable on Windows XP. I bought the game on eBay in late 2015 and have uploaded the full game (also with scans of the box, CD label, and user guide packed in the file folder) on MEGA. Only scans of the front and back of the box as well as the CD label had been found on The Old Computer website. This version was so scarce to find on any auction sites like eBay or Amazon, and it has not made its way online ever since, nor has anyone made playthroughs of this version. It has a smaller 320x200 resolution like many other older MS-DOS games and also had a few differences in the graphics and sound. The very first edition of the first Living Book, Just Grandma and Me, was originally released for the Tandy Video Information System (VIS) video game console.
