Well, now I know what to do about 'X' but still no help. Should I go back to the lab, or the locked room? I think I need something for the thingy I found. At the moment I am in the office, but can't find anything to help here.

Let's see - the janitor has a side business. He'll give you a card with his number. You should hear a phone call related to his "business" Hmmmmm Maybe if you posed as a customer and called then he would go back and check on inventory..... COurse if you prepared the way - well then ....

Hi Laura, been there and done that. Got in the locked room, and then went to 'X' marks the spot, and found this 'thingy'. But it is at that point that I am stuck! The 'thingy' is empty, and I can't find anything to put in it. Was there something else that I was supposed to do in the 'locked' room? Where should I go from here?

Well I am devising a plan in chapter 3 - so let's see.

Have you looked at the thing and tried a button? Also have you been back to your friends office? You'll need something that is in the once locked room. There will be a note underneath it. Check near the door area - where the "thing" is. I love all this cryptic talk lol

You should have an idea of what you need after you try the button. After your friends office search you should have something to "capture" what you need to get an old item out of the "thing"

Also be sure and use your crucifix and put it in line with obejects to be cleaned back at the lab.

Thanks Laura. I really think I need a white cane here. I did put my crucifix in line and got that weird helper. I pushed the button and know what I need, but just need to find it.
I think I will now sleep on it. Perhaps the answer will come in a dream.
I wonder if Ladyyve made it to the museum? She has been awfully quiet. lol lol lol

You know I bet she is out of the museum - the little scamp laugh

OK sleep on it and if nothing comes - I'll check.

There is a key that has been cleaned that is lying on a small table/counter top to the left of the voice activated chamber. What you find there will open something in Clive's/your friends office. You'll see what that is - if you decide to get some reading material out of the way.

Ohh this is one part I was glad I played the demo last year. I never forgot this and it is a tough one. Uhmmm there is a theory that if you keep batteries in the fridge they last longer. I remembered it and that's the only reason I worked this out and it still took a long while. A long while... Maybe something where you have to use the recorder might do the same thing.

Well that stinks. frown Maybe it will get there today. My Fed ex tracking showed it as still in Cal 30 minutes before they knocked on my door in ATlanta. So maybe the fed ex site isn't updating correctly.

I haven't even gotten back to chapter 3 yet. I want to savor this game. It goes fast when you know what needs to be done.

If you need the coffee I assume you wrecked her lazer and mask.
You need to re-check the Mayan exhibit
Get what's there
Show it to the janitor
take it to the restoration lab
use the hand lathe
show it to the janitor
be sure and check the trash can upstairs just by CLive's office after your coffee gets dissed
then you should get coffee

This is a great game! I got to chapter 3 and am roaming around picking up everything on the bus and working on "my plan". Thought I would never get that coffee ground-tried to push those statues at least 50 times. Kept me up till 2 A.M.

Sorry about that. lol Too much kid lingo around my place.

Dissed is short for being dissmissive.

The janitor is quite picky about the style and packaging of what coffee he places in the machine. It has to look and appear to be the same as what he uses. smile

No problem. This problem involves a lot of baby steps back and forth. You have to find the coffee beans - oops not ground! Grind - take it back - ewwww not the stuff I use ---re-package it and bingo - he'll use it.

Howwwwwwwwwwwdy! Aha! At least a few people are still in the museum! <ahem> Yvonne spies Laura way out in the lead..... sorry, I fell asleep at the switch! LOL! Ok, I'm back now... and in the museum!!! I must be right on FlowerPower's tail, but I'm sure she's long gone, too, by now.

Let's see, I'm in the room with the scanner.... the crucifix is in line to be restored... found an empty coffee bag in the trash... and not a clue what I'm trying to do now! Duuuuh...

Egaaaaaads! Laura, you're on Chapter 3??? Eeeeeeks!

She's Ba-a-ack We were about to send out a search party laugh


In this game you find things that you can't use until the character has a "need for it". SO far as I have seen if it can be looked at and seems interesting - it'll be used later on.

Yep you have more to do. The coffee run around is the next to the last thing practically in this chapter.

I am right behind Yvonne...in the museum. I have a question that pertains to the inventory. I seem to be collecting a lot of stuff...should I grab everything and anything that can be picked up...and is there a limit to how much the inventory can hold?

I guess what I really want to know is...has anyone come across inventory items for which they have not found a use? I'm getting a little nervous about picking up everything in sight. eek

This game is like a shot in the arm for me...I was getting in a funk where I was losing my enthusiasm for adventure gaming. RUNAWAY has rekindled my love affair! laugh

Cynch, I'd say pick up everything that isn't nailed down! I'm pretty sure that I remember reading in the manual that you'll use everything sooner or later--and I did notice that a whole bunch of stuff disappeared when I moved from chapter one to chapter two. So I don't think that there will be any problem with how much the inventory will hold.

What I'm wondering--is there a limit on the number of saved games...

I have used everything I had in inventory. At least I am pretty sure. <img border="0" alt="woozy" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" />

I was wondering about the saves too. I am, up to 9 now - so I'll find out fairly soon. smile

It's for sure, you will eventually use everything that you are able to pick up.

As for saves, I had about 24 on the first run through, and am simply adding to them as I play again to write the you-know-what. I am up to 32 saves, with no apparent limit in sight.

I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this great game, but Whew! The you-know-what is a LOT more work to write than usual. Don't know why, it just is.

Hey, wait for me! <sniff> I'm looking for another battery now, too! Willy sure isn't very 'generous', is he! Now where the heck can I find a battery? Hmmmm... that 'crack' in Clive's desk was neat! Now where did Clive go with Gina??? I don't see him around anywhere.

Yvonne.... still stuck in Chapter 2

Hey you guys! Maybe you don't need a new battery!
Have you every heard about 'freezing' a battery to make the charge come back? I wonder what you can find to get the battery cold? Hmmmmmm

ARRGGHHH!!! evil evil Geez, in this day and age, why do they still make games requiring that one insert disks for play? Especially when they don't put a boot disk on the second and third disks! It is really frustrating to have to load the first disk to boot the game, and then load another disk to play.
Help Jenny! Is there anyway to fix this problem? I did the max install, but it still requires that I boot from the first disk, and then use the other disks as the game progresses.
I really hate disk swapping!

FP, if there is a way to get around that disk swapping, other than installing the whole game on your computer, I don't know what it is. In the case of Runaway, I don't think the entire game is installed, just most of the jpg files.

I'm just into Chapter 3, wandering around in the desert, but I haven't had to swap any disks yet. Of course I also haven't accomplished much yet... blush

Wandered, hung out with the he/shes in the bus, got rid of a studly guard - but looking for oil and it is literally EVERYWHERE.

I am missing something. I feel like I rolled around and got lucky through much of chapter 3, I hope like heck I can organize it enough to help anyone else. lol

OK going back and filling in some notes......
