jazzfishI'm looking for a young girl. She is being escorted by two groboclones.
It's all![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
uilos's fault. She reminded me that the happy-wiggle originated with the happy-Twinsen-dance. (You know, the one where you find a cool item, and you stand in place while waving your arms and wobbling from side to side? "You've recovered your Holomap!" "You got back all your items!" Et cetera.)
So I dug in my Box O'CD-ROMs, and pounded on DOSBox and poked around on the Internet, and found this, which appears to do the trick.
Stop squirming, prisoner Twinsen!
Man. This is taking me back.
. . . dammit, I'd forgotten you take damage from running into the walls.
. . . and how bloody difficult it is to aim the magic ball.
. . . and how Twinsen is too drunk to walk in a straight line.
You just jump into the garbage and be VERY DISCREET about it.
Too late. I'm hooked.
