Hmm, I like the swimming, and the ability to stop before getting cactussed. the only strange thing is sometimes the turn order in the game goes a litle weerdly ----- if I've just jumped aa  barrier or swum a river, I can press space to get another turn, bt then I'm not allowd to move on my next turn ----- I assume this is what the manual ment by dirty tactics, bt it does seem to make weerd things happen with the game, like not being able to check your horse position.

I also wish the damned computer would be better at swimming rivers! I've been really winning, then the stupid fool goes and drowns themselves!

Maybe, when you next update the game, you could make it so that when the computer falls of a cliff or drowns, they just start again from the beginning rather than completely ending the race?

All round though it's A good update, and I like the enthusiastic new comontator.

something happened in the horse racing game which was rather weird, i chose blacky, and my opponent was blaky too. and it didn't announce the turns for some reason.

Arjan, I saw the same thing with the readme, but it's easily fixed. Click "Brouse" then find the horse racing game directory (probably C:Programme files\the horse racing game. In there is a folder labled data, in which is another folder labled dox, which contains the readme file, just select that file and it'll work fine.

D&D, when you fall in a river, quicly press the right and left arrow keys to swim across.

I can't say anything about winning races though, sinse the damn computer always seems to drown before iether of us makes it to the finish ----- which is now starting to get on my whic a litle.

Yes, we updated our pages, and also, we released thrg 1.6!
Lots of releases, lots of versions, but this version (1.5) contained lots of bugs, but thanks to your help guys, we fixed all of them (hopefully), and version 1.6 is out!
And, we also added a test speakers feature, and for dark empathy's "request", we also tweaked a bit the computer player, so, hopefully he'll can swim across it, without any harming effects.
You can get it at our website, i guess you know it, its:

Have fun.

hi,
I got more than 120000 points in the game, the computer drowned in a

river, and why didn't I find the cheats.txt in my THRG directory and why wasn't I taken to the bonus level?
and why couldn't I win the race?
dd

hmm, stopping by clithes and cactus plants? i didn't see it in the manual... is it a secret?

I'm not sure about that one Arjan, but I'm sorry to report that the thing where the program completely locs up when the computer passes space 100 occurred once again! And this time I had 128000 points too. This was especially irritating sinse I was on space 99, just trying to roll that extra one.

Oh well, so it goes.

that sounds good Robjoy. I'm afraid that when I click on the link to download The Horse racing game v1.61, I get a "Page not found" message.

Sorry about the complaint.

It seems we had server problems, but from now everything works.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

i beat the game with 20000 points but the game locked up! i thought i would be taken to the bonus level... but it seems not!
and i know it's no one's fault. it's only an accident. the exclamation marks are there because it means you didn't expect it.

hi,
I've said this 2 times but can you please try to fix this Lighttech Interactive?
when I am at square 98 I press space, I here the horse going but I don't win the race
and then I can move my horse again
do you know why this is happening?
dd

Hello,
dd: in v1.5 and 1.6, it was a bug, because you could move from square 98, then you could move again and again, but this is now fixed, in 1.61, if you move from 98, and you didn't roll 2 for 100, then the computer will roll, then you again, and so on, like in normal situations.

The game locking up, that is a bit interesting. Have you got jaws loaded when you play the game?
Allthough, the game supports jfw as the score announcement, and stuff, the game could be a bit slow, especialy after a river, where, since jfw uses scripts to track the cursor, it tries to move it right and left, without success.
And until jfw finishes the moves (because of rapid arrow keys), you can't do anything about it, just wait.
For the best performance, i recommend unloading jaws, and switch to sapi. If the game still locks up, please let me know.
