Walks so slooooow, and I couldn't change the speed.

I wanted to hide the mouse cursor in the corner, which I did a couple of times, but it pops back up automatically every now and then so didn't bother moving it back down.

13:10 - several places in this game where you have to wait for quite some time. It took about 1 minute for the droid to appear, so edited out most of the waiting.

13:36 - now the droid is moving around looking for me. He moved around in the upper half for about 5 minutes before he came to the other half, where I can kill him. So, edited out the waiting part here as well.

23:34 - lame I can't go back where the holographic head (or "image" as the game halls it, still a head imo) sent me up to the surface. I had to walk all the way back instead.

28:51 - thought the slot was the thingy on the right side as there is a horizontal line and the walkthrough I followed inserted it on the right side, guess he was a TAD bit further to the left I guess.

31:04 - this part doesn't seem possible without save states or a speed +/- option like Sierra games usually have. Can't be bothered to check, but maybe it's just the first game in each series that doesn't have the speed change option. Don't know if you can save and restore game here, but even if you could it would be very tedious.

36:34 - lamest part of the game! I have to play till I reach $250 which was not easy. The combinations of symbols were pre-decided (pre-rolled? whatever....). I could save state, bet money, it could give me an eye, a diamond, and skull-thingy, then if I loaded the saved state, I would get the same result again. If I bet money 5 times in a row and loaded the state and bet money 5 times again, I would get the same 5 combos. I could exit with F10, fool around a bit, then use the machine again and SOMETIMES it would give me a new combo. The walkthough I watched (PC version) used the ingame save/restore and restoring a game causes a new roll of the combinations, so it's a better and faster way to do that instead, but it was annoying with the slow speed the Amiga version had so I just exited and entered over and over (using 'Warp mode'Wink till I won enough money. I edited out all the boring wins in between.

46:48 - more waiting edited out. -
