I really want to play all of LucasArts' adventure games but the fiddle with dosbox whatnot have discouraged me :/ though might give it a go again, now that the scummVM has been ported to the idevices.

You don't need to use dosbox at all when you have scummvm, no?!

I have a confession to make...
I did play DotT but I don't adore it. I love adventures and LucasArts adventures have a special place in my heart but I found DotT to be flawed gameplaywise.
You have three characters that need to interchange items to solve puzzles. A lot of them are based on crazy humor and require you to try using all objects you have on all available hotspots until something funny happens. So far business as usual, but due to the three characters mechanic you need to give all objects to each character to try them out all over the game world. This requires you to walk to the time machine and back to a new hotspot with all characters dozens of times to swap items for the trial and error gameplay.
I ended up looking into a FAQ a lot, not because trying all combinations is too difficult but because the walking to the time machines and swapping items back and forth takes too much time.

Yeah I have to admit, I have a fair share of guilt in that one as I knew that he didn't play DOTT before he became a VIP  Sorry guys for letting ALL of you down
