I've played Pegasus Prime for a little while now and play it using the Sheepshaver emulator.
It's true the game is primarily keyboard based (that's how you navigate most menus), but it does certainly have mouse support, since that's how you interact with objects.

Add me to the list! I found number 3 years ago in a bargain bin, and I have been hunting for 1 and 2 since. So now I just need #1 so I can actually play the series from start to end, instead of end to middle.

They just released a new version for mac osx so they may try and get as much money from that as possible before putting that up here.
I don't know about JMAN 1

They're always after as many GOGs as they can get. In cases like this it's typically a licensing or incompatibility issue. But often the prequels get released eventually (e.g. Betrayal at Krondor).

Cool! That's good to know.

Does anyone know how JMP3 runs on Windows Vista / 7 systems? Because it's a pretty fun game, really, and I'd love to replay it.
I'd rather have one, all things considered - the third ditches the ability to die, which I find sort of odd - but the whole series brings back memories.

My guess would be that because Turbo is a 16-bit application GOG skipped it. After all it wouldn't work on 64-bit windows. However, I'd like to see Pegasus Prime released with a Macintosh emulator wrapper or a new native Windows executable. I played Turbo as a kid but I've never even seen Pegasus Prime, only heard of it. It would be a great way to relive the original. As for Legacy of Time, It had this annoying sound bug with hardware accelerated sound boards, it would have this loud static hissing over the game's audio. My work around was to disable hardware sound in DirectX whenever I went to play JMP3, but this functionality was removed in DX10 so Vista/7 users are out of luck. I imagine that the boys at Presto could probably rewrite this stuff in their sleep though, wonder if they were brought on board in any capacity for the Buried in Time re-release.

I think you can probably run turbo in a virtual box, but I guess GOG can't expect everyone to do that, huh?

I'm absolutely positive that I had Turbo running on a 32-bit Vista machine just a few months ago using some patch I found and messing with the compatibility mode settings (no virtual machine involved though).
My memory is really bad, (probably was late at night, too ;-) ), but it was definitely running -- I remember travelling to the space station on Mars and escaping the android. I think I gave up on it because it did have a tendency to crash every ten minutes or so...

As for Legacy of Time, I still have the original 4 CD Windows version lying around. Tried installing it on an XP machine a while back, and as far as I remember, no luck...

Just a curiosity, but I have Legacy of Time original discs (JMP3) running perfectly in crossover (wine) in ubuntu 10.04.1 64bit with no problems at all, but I couldn't get it to work in any usable condition and in most cases not at all, in XP, Vista or win 7, 32 or 64 bit versions of each on different hardware.

Good to know. I have a Ubuntu install running via VMware player anyway. A bit backwards to run a Windows game in Wine in Ubuntu in Windows 7, but whatever works...

Really I'm holding out for a stable version of Turbo though...

Pegasus Prime is a pretty faithful remake of Turbo, but it includes the actors from Buried in Time, reprising their old rolls. Arthur, obviously, isn't in it, but they implemented a similar hint/walk through in the form of a monotone on-board suite AI. I still like Buried in Time better, but its close, and Pegasus Prime has more of a sci-fi feel since you're almost always in the future, even when you go 'back' in time. Legacy of Time was my favorite though, even if Gage got a new, less greasy, actor.

New year, new GOG's; It's time for JP3 and as a bonus: JP1

I do believe that this can work. the patches are here... http://presto.tommyyune.com/presto/journeymanturbo/jmphints.html

I believe it is basically a patch for the newer versions (post win 95) of windows media player. The original game contains a warning to uninstall the new version on newer machines.
Also, successfully running the game may still require some video mode trickery and may not work on everyone's setup with everyone's drivers.

However, I own the Orig. JMP disk, and I can confirm that it is both 1) a 16bit executable and therefore unplayable on conventional 64 bit OSs (read: without a VM) AND 2) It will not run on a 32bit version of Win 7 or Vista. (I have not tested XP)
You can start the game, but it crashes randomly and frequently making it unplayable.
There does not appear to be any patch available for the original version of the game, only for Turbo.

having said all of that, i think it's important to note that all of the disks have both windows and mac versions on them, so they can more easily be run (and with better results) with Mac OS VMs.

JP1 will play on WinXP x86 (never tested x64), but without some sort of VM configuration it will not natively play on Vista/7 of any version. It has something to do with the windows core rewrite that made lots of other things incompatible when Vista was released. Note that 7 is built on the same core as Vista.
