Is anyone else playing this? I'm running around like crazy, picking up all of these things that it looks like I could use, and turns out I can't!

Right now I'm trying to get the grate off (whynot use the crowbar?) and catch that crab guy that has the corn cob pipe. I'm going to bash him with that axe any minute now.........

What I really loved was when I tried to pick up some really dangerous weapons and got told "this is an adventure game, not a first person shooter!!!

There's another item you need to get the arm away from that kid, Laura. There turned out to be more areas to explore around the beach than I thought....

Alright, Laura, I'll bite--how the *&$% did you get the book and the board? I've been waving everything in my inventory at everyone and everything in sight, with no results.........

You need to get into the password protected room at the school. Hmmmmmm Can't touch the kid...but maybe you could snatch the arm with something that looks like a lasso......

This game is so much like that poem "The house that Jack built"

Laura

I already got the arm away from the kid, Laura (check my message three or four posts up), and I just went back and tried that door again. Guess what--I had a new password! Must have gotten it when I helped the arm-impaired kid.

Anyway, I have the video game book now, so next I've got to figure out where that plank came from....

Look next to the sleeping guard for a remote control device. BTW, it doesn't work on the front doors.

Boy, I seem to have hit a brick wall here--can't get the zombie out of the closet, can't catch that crab with the pipe, can't get the guy to make me a hamburger.........sheesh!!!!

The last few inventory items I got were scissors, the video game board, the book, and a magnet.

Hi all,

Lightening storm put me off line for a couple of hours......

Jenny - If you ever get stuck go talk to the wise talking tree - but maybe if you ate something that is claimed by Mom's everywhere to make their kids run around like crazed rabbits - you would be fast enough to catch the crab. It is something you should have picked up at the grocers in the back room.

That will get you right with the sea captain.

Have you gotten transportation and been to Sue's barn??? If no transport - then you have something or should have a net - might catch something useful if placed between two things.

Don's right about the remote - walk around and try it other places.....

Laura *beat the game this evening* Great great game.

Well I can't end the game with satisfactory conclusion. In other words I can't stop the bad guy from doing the dastardly deed.

I've blown up(injured) the blind guard. Entered the control room, and chased the baddie up the stairs. I buy a little time with one of the conversation options but I can't get any of the computers to work in any rooms and the only door I can find(trap door) seems to be a no go.

I am at a total loss at this point. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the push, luv--I've been trying to combine inventory items, but it never occurred to me to use one on myself!!!

And yes, I've been to the barn, just haven't found any meat (at least that the game will let me pick up) for that machine yet. But I'm on the move again anyway........
------------------------------------------------
Ok, I got the seaweed--stupid, lying fish!!!

Everyone else in the house is screaming for the computer, so I guess I'll have to quit for now.

How in the heck do I get the seaweed? I thought the axe would work, but no dice. I am going in circles trying to find a knife or scissors or something that will cut the seaweed down.

You will find some scissors on the counter in the kitchen of the house. Snip, snip!

Don,

I sounds as if you missed a room. If you go to the bottome of the screen almost directly across from Igor's room there is another door. A PC geek sits inside.

Laura

Jenny,

Yu don't have any meat yet. Do you have an axe? If so go get some meat the old fashion way and do it your self - This will trigger a meeting with Sue herself.....

You need this to get the idea of how to get someone incentive to come out of the closet.....

Laura

Just for those who get hopelessly stuck as I did there is an 8 page hint file on the site where we downloaded this game from. There definitely are more places to go and explore than one would think and I feel like a yoyo going back and forth again and again and again.
A magnet might help get that 'keybehindgrate' but it sure is hard to see it (pixle hunt) in that school....ya sure don't mean that I have to find the axe and go kill the cow? do you? Arghhhhhhh.
They say that crackaine will mellow out the guard some....book? now where did I see that book?
Love, Betty Lou

Hi Jenny,

You probably need to have an agreement from the Drug Dealer Dude to consider using something other than what he is using in his cauldrin to make his crackaine. I had to do two things for him before he would agree to this. He's hungry and wants some rif raf ejected.

Laura

Hi Jenny,

Have you awakened the dude behind the counter yet?
If not, maybe some music might do the trick.

Hi jenny - Thatis why I made the reference to that old poem - This was the nail that the horse lost that hit the fly blah blah.

You need a hammer - a broken piggy bank - a purchase at the store to get change - a loud song - an awake dude - an order - a threat and then voila food whew.

Laura

It was the purchase at the store that was keeping me stuck in one spot, Laura--I hadn't noticed that there were more than just bottles on those shelves.......

Hi friends,
I am far beyond you, but I like this game!
There will probably pop up some questions soon. I have been at many places. Are you sure the closet is the right place for the wooden plank?
Then I have to get HIM out?

Christina

Christina,

Yep you got to entice that closet dweller out - he's lonely and so is someone else. Maybe a little matchmaking might help.

Laura

If you've just discovered that guy, Christina, there's quite a lot to do yet before you can lure him out of the closet.

I just made it inside the castle--the world is holding its collective breath, the fate of humanity rests in my hands...........

If the crab is out of the sand castle, Christina, then you don't have to worry about it any more. I was talking about a different one--you'll get there eventually.

I thought Sweden had cool (or cold) temperatures year round?

I have rescued Seabosh now and I am going towards the end I think.
We have to make an airplane and go somewhere... the other city?
I like this game because it is no too difficult. I hardly needed any hints at all even if I know where to find them.
My Jimmy is running and he talks really fast. Is that because my computer is so quick and new? (XP) Ofen he has to repeat the text, so that I can read it all.
I have fun and that is most important!!!

Christina

Christina, you shouldn't have any difficulty with the last part if you have all of the things on the Professor's list.

Note: when you get to Hatler's castle, there is one room that is rather difficult to find......

OK Laura. But can you tell me (not just a hint, but hit me over the head with it) where are those silly scissors, and how do I find the crowbar? Have not got a clue and have been to every place I can find...have sorta made my own 'map' of what places to visit and where they are in relation to my house trailer, but have 'lost' the Prof.s shed. Guess I am 'just a little lamb that has gone astray', haha. I also do not see/find any book in the schoolroom to trade with the quiet boy in TJ's.
Love, Betty Lou

Ok check the kitchen in the abandoned house. Which you need the key which you need the magnet to get.

The book is hard to get a curser on but is next to the crotchety zombie on the floor on the bottom shelf.

You need the bike to get to the shed, which you get using the net after you talk to the professer.

Laura

I have the key to the abandoned house and have looked all over the kitchen, no scissors, just a rotten turkey.
I have the bike or at least know how to get it but where is the shed I am looking for please?
I will try the schoolhouse for the book again and thanks for the tip.
Love, Betty Lou

To get to the shed, Betty Lou, go to the school and then to the left to the outskirts of town. Instead of taking the left hand path to Sue's place, go to the right and you'll find the shed....

I did it, I found the shed. Have proceeded to the mideast and have 'knocked' the guard out with some crackaine. Have picked up the remote but don't know what to do with it. Can't get those doors open and I don't know where Hatler's bedroom is. How do I find the dynamite?
Love, Betty Lou

If the remote doesn't work on the obvious door - maybe it works elsewhere. Try seeing where you can go and using the remote in a different spot - uhmmmm say to the left of the entrance area and around the side of the castle.

Laura

Betty Lou, just go around to the left of the castle and use the hand icon on the remote in inventory. Jimmy will automatically blow a hole in the wall......

Ohh Jenny gave what is the missing info I bet. You don't "use" the remote on anything you use the hand icon on it. Be sure and pick up the piece of pipe that broke off while you are outside.

Laura
