Mr. Eight-Three-One | Putt-Putt Joins the Parade (MS-DOS Floppy Version) Walkthrough @MrEightThreeOne | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
And a year later, here we are with the DOS floppy version of Putt-Putt Joins the Parade. As soon as I saw this on eBay for a reasonable price, I was not going to hesitate. If you've already seen my walkthrough of the Macintosh floppy version, you're not getting much else out of seeing this one, maybe aside from the lack of ear-bleeding MIDI, but it's still cool to get both versions perserved!
I'm not going to bother detailing the differences this time, as I went into them in greater detail in my Macintosh walkthrough (see it here -- youtube.com/watch?v=xYthEct6dBU ), but here's a rundown of what has changed...
* The dialogue has been heavily cut, shortened, and altered to squeeze the game onto a set of only five 1.44MB disks. Much greater use of mad libs is used, the neighbors all have generic voices, some less useful dialogue is entirely gone, Baby Beep outright has no voice...there's quite a bit to see here.
* The joke tellers and the puzzle cube in the toy store are replaced with the "Box o' Blocks" click point
* There is no saving in this version (though there also isn't in CD version 1.0 either)
* The game must be installed to the hard drive; the CD version's install program is only for configuring the audio
And since this is my fifth time walkthroughing this game (seriously, it's been that many times), I decided to do a whole LOT more screwing around for this one. I know some people will hate me for that, but after you play this game so many times, you have to do a lot more things to keep it unique. I tried showing more dialogue and such, and tried doing some things in a weird order...and I also did little things like throwing a coin into the machine when you don't have enough money. I also tried to click "yes" at the end of the game, but that...didn't exactly go according to plan. I'll let you see what happened when I tried.
Enjoy this walkthrough! Obviously not quite as interesting since you've probably already seen this once, but hey, it's something, right?
