The Secret of Monkey Island

Yay, I'm playing again! :-D (it's a holiday here in Portugal and I don't feel like doing anything useful :-| )

Say, you wouldn't happen to know how to save/load games in it, would you? :-\ Because I'm kind of lost here... :-)

Apparently, I have to press F5 to get to the menu... the problem is, I'm on a Mac, and F5 only increases the sound level...

There must be a way...

Does "fn F5" do the trick? Of course, I'm just learning the Mac myself, so I could be way off.

Yes, that was it :-) I just found it too :-) I found it by trying everything, of course O:-)

This always bugged me. Now I use uControl to reverse this so F5 is F5, and fn+F5 is volume up.

The idea sure looks nice, except that uControl says it "can only be safely installed on Mac OS X 10.3.1, 10.3.2 and 10.3.3"...

Mine is 10.3.7 :-\

The page hasn't been updated since 10.3.3 was newest. I use uControl on the latest patchlevel'd Panther.

Duh!!!

I've been playing Monkey 2 :) Graphics are better, plot is thicker and tons of more stuff to hide the fact that I mixed up the 2 titles :)

I don't care. I've already beaten the Swordmaster now O:-)
