Is there some way to get past the beginning/opening? Does it have to play every time you start the game? Thanks!

Looney, I haven't had a chance to even load my game up yet, but most of them you can get past the introduction by either right-clicking or hitting "escape"...

Hi Jenny! Yeah, I tried all that, and nothing works. I just cringe thinking that I have to go thru all of that every time I load up! Maybe you're supposed to play all the way thru with no stopping?

Hi Flower Power...this is Full Moon In San Fransisco...

I checked my game manual, Looney, and it doesn't say a blasted thing about skipping video scenes!

I assume you've also tried the "enter" and all of the "F" keys? It's hard to believe there wouldn't be some way to skip that introduction...

Yep Jenny, I have tried it all! And that opening is really long too... And just so you'll know, the space bar, well it just pauses the opening!
Thanks for trying tho...

looney,

I just loaded the game. At the bottom of the screen is the word 'CONTINUE'. Just click that and each screen will go to the next until you get to the main menu and load, new game or quit.

MaG, I just looked, I didn't see "continue" anywhere! The bottom of my screen has my normal start up stripe, is that not supposed to be there? <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" />

Okay, I don't know why it stayed on in the first place, but I just did the old auto hide task bar and when it hid..."continue" was there! Thanks MaG, now I can try to play!!

Great!! just loaded it again and saw the same thing.

So it was the hide the word behind the task bar trick!
