OK, so I got the game for Trogday, and I'm up to the point immediately after clearing the ghosts from Strong Bad's house. After that was done, I went to play the fruitboarder game, because I figured I needed something red and translucent from that game.

However, when I clicked on the game and Strong Bad fired it up, I wasn't able to do anything. It said to press "S" to start the game. I mashed "S", and nothing happened. So I tried to quit the game by hitting "Q". That did nothing. Then I went for broke and hit every key on my keyboard in turn to try to get something to respond. Nothing.

Everything else in the game so far has worked. It's just that one part of the game that doesn't respond. It's not that the game freezes; the gel-arshie game keeps scrolling the instructions on a loop, but I can't do anything with it.

Anyone know of a way to fix this problem?

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to do that. It's part of the game.

So... what is it I'm supposed to do? Do I just leave the thing scrolling the instructions over and over untill... what? Strong Bad realizes the game's bugged or something?

Oh. Uh...sorry. Didn't quite know what you meant. Have you been in the Trogdor cabinet yet?

Yeah, been to all the game worlds I can go to so far.

I'm starting to think it may be a problem with my computer itself, because if I remember correctly, I've never had to use the keyboard for this game until this point. I'm using a MacBook, and playing the game by using CrossOver Games.

are there any other keyboard-based commands I can try to see if that's the problem? Like perhaps a key I can type to go to the menu or something?

Yeah, that's probably it. Still, have you solved the Pro Fruitboarder-themed puzzle? (i.e.; Gel-Arshie joined your party?)

No, because I can't make the fruitboarder game start. I've set it on Hard and switched the pineapples with fruit, but I can't start the game because pressing "s" does nothing. I'm afraid that I'm stuck if I can't fix this.
Are there any other keyboard based commands that I can try in order to test if it is my keyboard that's not responding?
