Brian Glover was a lovely man. When he was filming Kes he was still a teacher but also subsidising his income by being a "baddy" wrestler in Paris.

# Sadly it's in that annoying valley
between being too old to run on a current machine, and being too new to emulate. I wonder if it's on ScummVM's to-do list...

You could try installing windows 95 via www.virtualbox.org/, and then run it in that.

Should work.

also the SCUMMVM (http://www.scummvm.org/) team are working on a version that runs games based on that engine under new operating systems (and linux / mac / iphone / android etc) its updated regually but at the moment its unplayable, but it is worth keeping an eye on it - residual.sourceforge.net/
but yeah that was one hell of a good game.
