You found a copy of The Neverhood that works?! Please do go on!

A few pages back I mentioned finding an OSX port of The Neverhood and finally (after many frustrating failures during my childhood years) beating the thing.The OSX port works flawlessly. If anyone wants it, just google: "Neverhood OSX" should find a torrent or two (it is an unofficial port, nothing you can optain legally. The game itself is "abandonware" with original CD-ROMs selling for around $100 bucks as collectors items). Windows versions of the game have always been really easy to find online (I have an original disc, probably in a box somewhere in my parents basement where I will never see it again).

The last time I tried to play The Neverhood on a PC was through Windows XP, but I've never had any problems in the slightest that I can recall. I take it by your comment that it doesn't work so well on Vista or 7?

You can play with a touchpad?! That's awesome!

I've been a strict laptop user since I was 14. Other than X-Wing, Dark Forces, Sim City 2000, and the old adventure games I played as a kid, all of my PC gaming has been done on a laptop with its built in keyboard and touchpad mouse. Using a real mouse to do anything always feels weird, and typing on a full sized keyboard with those ridiculously large keys that jut out almost an inch always throws off my stride.

 

FPS games I've beaten with a touchpad include (just off the top of my head) Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Half-Life (when it first game out), Star Trek: Elite Force,  a few older Metal of Honor titles, and quite a few others.
