I just find it hilarious that such an old game gets new versions. It's something you don't see often (not counting the id software open sourcing)

As I wrote programs and games are for the masses and not for anal (sorry, I don't mean to offend you with this) users. The masses just use defaults, so the defaults need to be hassle free for the masses.

Savegames are user specific files generated on request (or not if there are savepoints ;)) and should be treated as such. In case of a system used by multiple users it makes sense for them to be in the user space. (So other users can't bork your game) And if you make games for the masses you use a …

Correct! The only reason it gets really messy is because there was no strict guideline by MS where in the user folder to put things, so you have them all over the place because every game figures out their own default. And defaults are good because normal users shouldn't have to worry where things …

It's long been a standard to only store write once stuff in program files and other stuff in either shared or user space. MS recommendations are not clear on where but ever since they tightened the hold on c:/program files it really makes sense. After switching from Dos/windows 3.x I was very anal …

Getting TV series or movies in original English language was one of the few reasons I went to PB. It's still not easy to get them close to release if you ever get to see them in original language (without waiting ages for DVD release and pay more for importing the UK or US version - not to mention …

Do not use an emulation in an emulation (to simplify things). It's known to cause problems, especially with mouse stuff. Your level3 problem is probably caused by a wrong installtion, meaning it needs to be installed in Dosbox and run with exactly the same mountings.

Seek professional help! And as curios as it may seem, don't oversleep, meaning don't sleep more than 8 hours, try to catch as much sun as possible. Especially the college days that have you live mostly at night and sleep during day do not help with depressions. Also something lately discovered, a …
