@ Malfhok. . . . . I did get the external keyboard for my iPad today, and nothing happens when it's used guess it was taken out.

Actually, even if Mystdee said something... I wouldn't be able to tell you. To be honest, I never heard of Cyan Worlds until Myst (didn't have a computer until late win 95 era) and I haven't had a chance to sync my iPod yet. I'm syncing now though.

Malfhok,
LOL, I have played the PC version but never saw that one. . .. . .cute!!
it isn't there in the iPod/iPad version, just checked it on my iPad. . . no keyboard so no trigger. . .maybe if I had the external keyboard/dock, which I haven't decided if I want yet it would . . . If I get it I'll check it out

Details in spoiler:

In the CD edition, when riding Wall Russ' elevator, if you type on the keyboard, the elevator comes to a grinding halt and Wall Russ berates you for breaking his elevator by playing with the keyboard while the elevator was moving. Then you can fix the elevator by playing with the elevator buttons.

I was wondering if that joke was entirely removed from the iOS edition because of the lack of a keyboard, or if it was rerecorded and modified.

Malfok, I am not 100% sure what you are referring to in your spoiler question. . . can you be more specific? maybe I can answer your question then. I have the PC version installed and also the iPod/IPad/iPhone version

Tanshin, can you tell me about my question in the spoiler above? I'm just curious about what they did with it.

Ooh, this is a lovely surprise after a long day! I'm just a few cents short in my iTunes account... but I have money in my checking account... so I'm gonna get it and let the overflow be billed

It's worth it though.

Not really trying to get into a grammar debate here, but object is the subject of the sentence, while the other two words are modifying adjectives. A comma between an adjective and the noun it modifies is not correct.

But if they did it on purpose, then by all means, they should leave it.

(Pssst… @Cyan, you have a grammar error on the description."…beneath what appears to be just an average, everyday, manhole" should be "average, everyday manhole."

comma-separated adjectives for emphasis ... Not necessarily a grammatical error. You'll understand the intent if you read the sentence out loud and pause at the commas.

Aaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnd it's here! I already have the CD-ROM edition so I likely won't go for the iPhone edition (lack of my own device helps, too), but I would recommend it to anybody looking for a whimsical world for the young and young at heart.

Oh, come to think of it…

Did you have to remove the keyboard elevator joke/thing? That was my favorite part when I used to play The Manhole Masterpiece as a child! (Say it with me: "Argh, look what you've done!"
