Désolé, c'est pour Windows seulement

Used a translator page; I don't understand French.

Can you not use Boot Camp to run Windows. Admittedly it would be best if the software could run on all major OSs and one might be reluctant to run MS stuff, but...?

Google translate:
Pouvez-vous pas utiliser Boot Camp pour exécuter Windows. Certes, il serait mieux si le logiciel peut fonctionner sur tous les principaux systèmes d'exploitation et l'on pourrait être réticentes à trucs MS, mais ...?

Don't really understand the point of this...since no matter what you pick it's the same outcome (except for the obvious instant game-over choices.) Why put choices in at all if you weren't going to allow them to play out? If the player wants to comment on her knockers, why not? Let's see the consequences to such a bone-headed move instead of playing things out as if you had never picked it. Oh, and the ending? Crap.

I did a verification on the upload, and, in addition to the two quick 'game over' endings, a player CAN reach any of three 'major endings' depending on menu choices the player makes.

Sorry Fleet,
Your games looks nice, BUT my video card doesn't allow me to play
I test many of them & i always receive the same error !!

What does the error message say (please be specific)?

If the error message is something like "Failed to create Direct3D device" it's probably the video card. The Novelty program requires graphics hardware that fully supports DirectX 9.0c.

If the error message is something else, there might be a software solution.
Very respectfully,

Josefus,
Since I don't speak German, I ran this through a translation web site.
"Strong play. Likes me very well. Good Storie. Clean work."

Danke (thank you)

jfrancois323,
I am very sorry that you could not get the game to play.

On a happier note, people have downloaded Arnie and the Hitchhiker over 3000 times in less than a week. Thank you!

Since this is by far the most popular visual novel, I've decided to re-issue it with better graphics, an additional ending (there are now six endings), more in-game animated sex scenes, more game-play, and expanded one of the endings.

I've finished the beta version, but now I need two or three beta testers. Beta testers should be proficient in English so they can clearly identify and communicate to me any typographical errors, incorrectly spelled words, incorrect grammar and punctuation, and game-play glitches. Playing time to reach all six endings is over an hour.

System requirements: Computer running Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7, and a video card or chip capable of running Directx9c.
If you encounter text truncation (Vista/Windows 7) reset the font in your preferences to the default.
If you get a message about needing a dll file, you can get it at
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=8109
Uncompress the compressed file using 7zip, winzip, winrar, or your favorite archiver. You may install the game in any folder on your hard drive.
To run the game, run the exe file.
If you encounter any difficulties, let me know.


I need the results of your beta test not later than 20 October. Beta testers will have their user names shown on the credits page. Send me a private message if you want to be a beta tester and I will reply with a link to the Beta release. Serious inquiries only, please.

very respectfully,

I need one more beta tester. See preceding post for requirements and additional information.

I guess I am one more. We have a typo. In hospital, during discussion with nurse, he asks, "I'm being releaed tomorrow?" An "s" is necessary in the word released. 8-)

Hi. You "Beta tested" the old release.
In my request for beta testers I said, "Send me a private message if you want to be a beta tester and I will reply with a link to the Beta release."
The typo you found has been corrected in the release I want Beta tested. I'll send you the link to the 'to be tested' release.
Very respectfully,
