No such luck Marian. I can't find it.

I looked at a couple of walkthroughs this time and it turns out that you look at the locksmith's card in Nick's apartment but that you actually find it in the bar. Sorry about that. I was assuming you found it in the apartment as well.

Maybe take another look around the bar. Cast your eyes in a downward direction.

OK, thank you again. I will try that next time. If I don't get the hang of this game soon, I will let you off the hook. No sense you having to read the walkthrough just to tell me step by step what to do.

Good luck.

I found the locksmith's card but for the life of me, I don't know what good it does you.

I did get into Rania's and found her remote control and 4 crumpled up pieces of paper amongst her plants that each have a different number on them, and I went back to the alley behind Gloria's and found an Instruction Receiver (at least I think that's what he's saying).

Nothing helpful that I can figure out though!

You can do something in Nick's apartment with the locksmith card.

There are also five pieces of paper to find at Rania's.

Thanks Marian. So far I haven't found the fifth piece of paper at Rania's, nor anything to do with the locksmith card. I've tried dialing the number on it, which didn't do anything.

Anyway, as this game is not linear and I don't seem to understand any of the puzzles, I have taken a look at the walkthrough which got me into Hapacom, which maybe should have been easy but, to me, was kind of stupid.

I think I'm just going to finish the game out with the walkthrough so I can move on to something else. I just don't get logic to this game.

Thank you for all the reading you've done for me and I'm sorry I've wasted your time!!

I find that with some adventure games my mind is just more in sync with that of the game designer's, and with others never the twain shall meet, so I know what you mean.

At least I got a little more info about the game, which is always useful for a moderator in the Hints forum.

Good luck with finishing.

OMG, typed a bunch of stuff and accidently hit something that erased it all.

I saw something in the w/t about climbing the boxes behind Gloria's and seeing a drain. I managed to get up there somehow but didn't see any drain. Next thing I know, I'm down in the sewer system maze. I find a dead body, accidently knock a card of his into the water which floats away so I have to go chasing after it. I found it and got myself back to the ladder but can't seem to get up the ladder. I am physically feeling sick to my stomach right now from too much movement in the sewer.

I don't think I like this game too much but I WILL finish it!!!

Try Control-Z when that happens.

Thanks Jenny100. I will do that in the future providing I remember.

Marian, did you see anything in the w/t like what I'm describing? I cannot find anything like this but I'm only skimming, trying not to totally ruin the whole game for myself. I think I may have to go to a prior save and not climb the boxes. Maybe I drowned in the sewer and just don't know it.

I did see something in the walkthrough mentioning a sewer drain and a ladder. And apparently there is a certain time when it's a good idea to move the boxes.

Yea, I think in looking for the drain and accidently somehow ending in the sewer, I have gone down there before I was supposed to. Believe me, it was not intentional. I felt too sick to go back in the game and try some more so I started replaying Ravenhearst (the first game). I hope I will get back to Conspiracies tomorrow for awhile and be able to finish it one day soon.

Thanks again Marian!

Ravenhearst sounds more relaxing for a Sunday than this game. Again, good luck in finishing Conspiracies.

I am still trying to play this game (with the walkthrough). I'm on page 5 under "Back to 2019" in the home of Prokopiou trying to get the methylated spirits off of the tall cupboard. I've climbed 3 filing cabinet drawers. You're supposed to use the ruler to get the spirits. If you just left click the ruler is not open. If you right click, it opens but doesn't stay open for long. You can't use the Control key with it like with some items. I can't figure out how/where exactly to use it to get the spirits. I tried googling to see if I could find any other info or walkthroughs but can't. Can somebody who played this possibly help me (Jenny100??) or has it been too long to remember clearly enough?

Hi Marian

So, I was looking through my games list trying to decide what to play next in my XP computer since I finished Limbo of the Lost last night and Conspiracies/Conspiracies II caught my eye. I don't like to play a sequel (or next game in a series) if I have not played the first (or prior) game/s so I once again was Googling about Conspiracies. You can see I started this thread almost 4 years ago . I found a different walkthrough than the one I was using and I happened to find the game on UHS hints (don't know why I didn't find it there before).

I have FINALLY moved on with the help of UHS hints!! I only somewhat remember the story and totally didn't remember the game controls. I couldn't even figure out how to open my inventory and had to dig out the booklet from my disc. The game I have installed is actually from Shiny Loot and I couldn't find the game icon or the game. I tried to search for it and the game just opened up instead of pointing me to it. I now have a new shortcut on my desktop and will hopefully finish this game!

Now you can call me persistent .

I hereby crown you the Queen of Persistent!

I agree with Marian! I would have totally forgotten about it by now!

It has irked me all this time but I couldn't really find the energy to open the game up now and then just to end up frustrated.

The other game still in my mind bugging me is Alfred Hitchcock's The Final Cut. I was playing it in my (MY as opposed to the one I am using now which belonged to my sister) XP even more years ago when the computer stopped working. I was so far into it and I can remember certain things about it and want to finish it. The key word there is finish. I don't know if I really want to replay it from the beginning but I just may have to do that. I never did decide what I want to play next in the XP so maybe it will be that.

Keep us posted.

Well, my making progress was short lived. I am stuck again in a timed area. I have everything I need in my inventory and know which way to go but I cannot go in the direction I need to. As soon as I have control of the mouse, my character seems to automatically turn the wrong way and I get shot. I've been trying for 1-1/2 hours. There is one thing I'm not sure if I have right but can't seem to change it. I should have stacked some boxes up earlier in the game and I did, but I don't know if I stacked enough of them or stacked them the right way or in the right place but I no longer have the items needed to try to use the fork lift again. I don't know where I might have dropped the items. Very heavy sigh! I looked in a few places but am wondering if I left them down in the sewers. I went down there but just didn't have it in me to look around the maze like area, and then I couldn't get back up to ground level (just like the first time I was down there). Started getting sick feeling so I got out of the game.

I took a look at UHS hints and read about the forklift. Did you locate an antenna that the clark uses to receive instructions? If so, there are a few steps after that.

The ultimate objective is to move the boxes around in such a way that you uncover something, but you need to locate that antenna and do a few other things first.

Marian, I had done that 4 years ago and had gone down in the sewer and had trouble getting out back then just like I did tonight. (That's what you uncover, a manhole cover/entrance to sewer. I'm just not sure if I moved/stacked the boxes right though and that may be stopping me from being able to get behind them, as I try to get away from the guy with the gun. I don't know that for sure though without being able to move more of the boxes. I'm supposed to be running to or towards that sewer and I can't. I don't have the antenna anymore and it is not in my apartment. You can drop inventory anyplace so if I needed room in my inventory who knows where it is now. I'm going to have to backtrack a little in the walkthrough to try to refresh my memory if I can. I'll try again tomorrow. This is where I am:

You are not just trying to uncover the sewer; you also need to stack the boxes.

Thank you for taking a look!

Okay, good to know.

According to this part of the walkthrough, this sequence involves moving the boxes in order to create a box wall next to the door. Then you need to use an item to get the manhole cover off, an item which is found in another location. I don't know if you can already have this item or not, but in any event if you don't have it you have to go back and get it.

Manhole cover was off 4 years ago. I just need to figure out if I can still move the boxes somehow. I have to find the antenna if that is possible.
