Hello, fellow fans!

Hey there, my name is Devon and I'm 22 years old! I don't remember how I got this game back in the day, but I remember absolutely loving it and have been looking for it for a while now. I finally found it, grabbed myself a copy, and got back into playing it. This forum helped me get it up and running on Windows 10, but it started crashing a lot so I sought out another way to run it, and managed to get DosBox running Windows 95 with the game injected into it. I will be writing up a tutorial over the next few days, complete with screenshots, and putting it here

I have not had the experience of Gruntz crashing under 64-bit Windows 10, but there have been shortcomings that make it a major trial to play most Questz. The worst problem (IMHO) is the limitation on the map dimensions ... there is a width such that the map is not allowed to scroll right. (Somewhere around 75 tiles in width.) And puzzles with (extremely) repetitive actions (3D Lava II) and/or timing issues (the more recent Golf Challenge) suffer from a lag in mouse control.

So I (for one) will be looking forward to your 'tutorial' along with your evaluation of play-ability of the game using your method!

I'm in the middle of trying to migrate my files to a new storage system and then doing a complete re-install of Windows 10, so I won't be posting the tutorial as soon as I'd hoped. I have about 1/4th of the tutorial written up already, so I'm hoping that once I do get this done (it should take another day or two at most) I can get the tutorial finished up!
