Ok GOG its February.... Where's Pegasus Prime ???????????????????????????????????
HNNNNNGNGNGGGGGHHHHHHH
WAAAAANT


HHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNGGGH


*SITS ON HANDS*

MUST HAVE COMPLETE TRILOGY.
It will never be complete until the original Journeyman Project/Turbo is released alongside the remake and the other two games.
Which won't happen any time soon since the game runs on code and calls that haven't existed since Windows XP.
As far as I know no fans have sat down to try make an emulator for it?
The problem is that the original Journeyman Project game is a 16-bit program. 16-bit programs aren't supported on any 64-bit version of Windows, which is what the vast majority of users have right now.

You can get it to run by having a DOSBox install that has Windows 3.1 to run it through, but then any release of the game would have to include Windows 3.1 as well, which isn't terribly workable from a legal and financial point of view.

I suppose at the theoretical level something could be whipped up to emulate it through Scumm VM or whatever, but all the work right now is focusing on getting Pegasus Prime released, which is superior to the original version of the game in pretty much every conceivable way.

I'm not sure how ScummVM actually works, so I don't know if someone couldn't just sit down and code functionality into ScummVM, like how they're doing with Pegasus Prime. Currently, your choices for playing the game are an actual Windows XP machine, Windows XP mode for 7, or installing Windows 3.1 in a DosBox environment, then installing the game and playing it that way.
I already run it trhough a Dosbox emulated Windows 3.1. It works great. I've heard it works well on WIndows 7 XP mode as well, but have not tested it out.

But it would be nice for people who don't have luxury to actually access windows 3.1 up to XP to have access to it int he future.

Also its not just that Pegasus Prime might be technically better there are always reasons to play old vs new games. For art style changes, changes in voice actors, changes in cutscenes, changes in puzzles. This is a reason why I always recommend people play old vs remade Sierra games for example..

According to the ScummVM forums, it's going to be REALLY hard to get JMP Turbo working on ScummVM without the original source code, which no longer exists. Granted, those comments were made two years ago, but I doubt much has changed if they've been working full steam ahead getting Pegasus Prime running.
