Reader Rabbit, Windows floppy versions:
1: Works on Windows 2000, untested on 98
2: Crashes on 98 and 2000!
3: Works on 98, crashes on 2000
Floppy 1.0 actually has the same behaviour as CD 1.0 (I think this is literally just CD 1.0 with the voice acting removed, it feels otherwise identical), back in the day I had to use 9x to play this game, it crashed on XP
weirdly I think this game runs on NT4 (more testing required!)
RR2 crashing on 98 is fascinating! I wonder if it's a CPU speed bug like Treasure Mathstorm Windows 1.0 running at warp speed on too new PCs
unfortunately for proper regression testing I will require either a faster Windows 95 system or a slower Windows 98 system
Windows 95, P-90: seems fine
Windows 98, P2-333: crash
maybe I should test my laptop, it has a faster Pentium than I can emulate
I forget if these games require a sound card. maybe not? in which case I should test these games on entii now that it supports 256 colour mode
floppy also seems to support 16 colour mode as well as 256
bought a CD drive? you'd better fucking have a SVGA card!
reader rabbit 3 complains it requires 256 colours in 16 colour mode. guess I remember wrong
that does match the CD counterpart
but reader rabbit 2 runs now, huh??
blueknob sounds like a british variant of blueballs
the answer isn't motorboat
@onfy Bluetooth? I don't think they had that back in the 1990s... Why is it a bird? 
@vaporeon_ @onfy the term is quite old https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Bluetooth
@noiob @vaporeon_ I don't think people were talking so much about him before wireless technology
