RE: Entrpoy demos in Parallax
An Entropy menu is started by holding down a certain set of keys while booting. When Colin found out about this he requested it removed - which is what the 'Parallax' fix on Fred 25 (in the 'Bits' section) ALSO does. I'd found it before (having run into the crash) and had created my own patcher (which does not destroy the hidden menu)... I'm bound to have it on one of my floppy disks somewhere in the basement. If I find it I'll let you know.

RE: Entrpoy demos in Parallax
And just viewing the parallax.fix file (on Fred 25) in SimCoupe shows the following, hehe: HERE, USED TO BE SOME ENTROPY DEMOS - AND YOU CAN STILL GET TO THEM IF YOU POKE THE JUMP JUST ABOVE WITH 16607... COOKIE! Which saves me a trip to the basement...
