The Dink Network

I'm an American, disabled and retired early, living in Mexico. I'm not the only Dinker here, though, because I've lived with an indigenous Huichol family as my houseguests for the past eight years, and the two boys love Dink! Even though they can't read any of the text. Their baby sister will probably develop her own Dink fanatacism - given time. They love Dink, even if all they can do is roam around splatting monsters. I have to keep the more lewd stuff out of their reach, though.

No, Dink doesn't keep running by himself. It happens when I'm trying to get him out of the scenery he got stuck in. When he reaches an edge of the screen, he enters another screen in the game, sometimes where he has already been, sometimes where he has yet to go to. I send him back to where he got stuck, usually, but at times it piques my curiosity to see the places I can send him to. Often he can get into a lot of screens. I might as well experiment with the situation, since, for me, the game is over until I close it down and reboot, then start the game all over again.

I'm glad it hasn't happened to you. It's very frustrating. I seem to remember that there was either a cheat or it was incorporated into one of the DMODs, where you can elect to move Dink, sort of like jumping, from one part of the screen to another. But I forget where I found this feature.

I really enjoy the fine epic DMODs, the ones with good story and good craftsmanship. What these people can do is WAY beyond me, and I have respect for them. What's sad is that not all of them will play on my old OS. Nor, being rather poor, do I imagine that will change any time soon.
