In Khazakstan we have problem with Mountain Dews, so we lure down with bag of peanuts and sell to illegal Nepalese markets.

Well, I wouldn't be the one playing MM with a keyboard and no mouse. ;)

Actualy, this is a screenshot from the extended version of MM. The original C64 version was much more ugly...

That's so awesome!
I think someone needs to build a computer in a book. Kind of like how in movies there are always secret disks or a button in a little cut-out compartment of a large book. o.o

Oh, it's very real and very C64 compatible, thus much better than the iPhone thingy, which is a phone and not a C64.
There's also a miiature joystick to go along... Have a look here:

Nice :)
But I have to agree, no mouse would really be a pain in the butt for adventure games.
This
is my solution at the moment.
It's got a touchcreen with stylus... oooooooh...... aaaaah...... :)
