AG Community Playthrough: Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon
My brand new boxed copy of the game (version 1.0 with Windows set up disc for XP, Vista & 7) arrived. I’ve been trying to get it installed on my iMac using Boxer, but so far, no luck due to sound problems. I have an email in to the creator of Boxer to see what can be done. If I can get it running, I’ll catch up as soon as I can. If not, I’ll have a nice copy of the game to pass on to someone.

Well, this is definitely worth making an account for.
Got 2,3,4,5,9,10 down so far…
.....oh,yeah-that means I would like to join the playthrough.
Sorry everyone, I had late shift this week which means no play time. I will hopefully get some time this week to get the game installed and get playing!
The real problem with reality is the lack of background music.

Music is what feelings sound like…
Ok people!!
Time to (officially) start to help friends!!
You know what to do!!
Go and get Pyotr to Callahan’s!!
You have until 17/2 to finish this first chapter. 2 weeks is plenty of time.
Don’t forget to try everything with/to everyone!!
For those (few, from what I see) people who got stuck on the word contest or haven’t started the game yet, there is still plenty of time to catch up with the others. Remember: There is always a chance that the answer is something totally unknown to you. Google is your friend.

Your presence is a curse on this playthrough. Welcome however. 
I managed to solve the quiz.
Never ever heard of no. 1 before. And I could use the same name for 6 and 10 (I guess that I didn’t get the right name for no. 10 ...)
Time for my free drink(s) now! Cheers!

For the record…
No 10 Thud+ores= The Doors
Many thanks!
Well, actually with knowing the solution it looks rather easy to guess… somehow…

They all do in hindsight.
Have you tried talking to Doc after solving the contest? He can give you a few more to solve (although I have to say that they’re a LOT more obscure - I had never heard of the first one)...

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Yes, I was about to ask if anyone managed to solve any of these… (not me!)
Woot! I got the game running in Boxer and played for about a half hour in the bar. Solved the riddles - a nice brain exercize for a Sunday morning - and met Mickey Finn and Squish. I’ll get back into it tonight. I love the voice acting, by the way.

Excellent news for all Mac users!! Perhaps you would like to share with us how you managed to make it run Lady K? (mostly for future reference)
Boxer is a very easy to use DOS emulator for OS X, Sefir. I’ve never dealt with DOS before, but the creator of Boxer has it spelled out very nicely in his ReadMe file. It creates a folder that mimics the C drive, and from there it’s a matter of picking the recommended sound and music files, installing the game, choosing the created file to start the game, and playing.

I’m glad you got it sort it out LK! 
As for myself, I won’t be able to play much in the next two weeks or so, so I’m happy with the slow tempo for the playthrough chunks Sefir proposed. I couldn’t resist after getting the game after more than 10 years, and I’ve played through the quiz - it was as hard as when I first time played it. 
I totally forgot how you need to put the answer together by respelling pronunciations (if I got the term right) rather than just putting the synonyms next to each other. 
Also, as I loved Fien’s feature “Quote of the Day”, here’s mine:
“We won’t get into outer space in my pickup unless it explodes.”
(yeap, I quickly started Squish’s emp-tel uh, I mean, case 
BTW, I’d like to hear Josh’s, Jim’s and others opinion about order of things, because somehow I presumed Squish should be done first as he was standing there in front of you waiting for you to click him after solving the quiz Even though it’s likely to guess that the game is non-linear in that regard)

Oh, such lovely puns! I have spent the past hour just clicking on things to hear/read the comments. I finally found a hotspot I needed at Pyotr’s house and am now in Transylvania. The trap driver there is a riot! I had to force myself to quit or I’d be up half the night. Great game!
