CHIPS.EXE, Tile World, or Tile World 2?

[mobius]

I still use CHIPS.EXE in a Windows XP virtual machine (because, like almost everyone else, I have a 64 bit computer).

I use TW1 when playing sets in Lynx. I rarely use TWMS because I have CHIPS.EXE and because I think Chip looks like a robot.

I don't use TW2 because it doesn't work with CCEdit, because it takes too much memory to run, because it doesn't work in Linux, because I think the death messages are sometimes stupid and impossible to modify without getting the source code (and that is very hard to get) and because I don't like the interface.

what he said + it's annoying that the command line has to come up when it runs. If I understand correctly every program has this but it is normally hidden.

I don't use the MS program anymore because I have a 64 bit computer. But I like tileworld better for one thing; the movement is easier. I remember how in MS if you hold down a key and let go, chip moves 1 extra move after letting go. So you have to get used to letting go of the key early. From what it sounds like when I listen to LPs a lot of you don't hold down the keys at all. That would make my fingers tired. Anyway, TW does not have this problem. I do miss the nostalgia of the MS version though.

I have a virtual box which I've used to play games like Marble Drop (anybody hear of that one?) but I wouldn't use it to play CC. Too much hassle when TW is easier.
