[Screwtape]

I have an old Mac, the kind that you can't just install XP on, and although I'd hoped that Knytt Stories, being a simple not-resource-intensive game, would work rather nicely in a PC emulator. I was wrong.

For a start, KS requires at least Windows 2000 rather than the svelte Win98 (I never thought I'd say that about 98... sheesh). Once I installed a copy of Windows 2000, did the service-pack dance and messed around with crazy DLLs as mentioned earlier in the thread, Knytt Stories installed and ran.... but rather sluggishly in any room with animation in it (like the rain in the tutorial area, or waterfalls), and an infuriating 15-second delay every time you move from one screen to the next... kind of kill the chill-out vibe that Knytt tries to set up.

Of course, that was in the better of the two PC emulators I had to hand. In the lesser PC emulator, I got bored of holding down the arrow keys, waiting for my avatar to move even a single pixel...

So, yes, very much natural-Windows-PC-only.
