I liked the wheel in which you sat in the middle of the wheel.

Yes, it was fun to hit the shift key and really get the speed up!

Hey guys,

Finally, I've been away doing other things, never a got a chance to finish the game until a couple of days ago, I'm at the very end, can't get the wood in the furnace fast enough... I was almost tempted to just walk away but I've put so much time into it I don't dare, can someone send me a saved at this point so that I can atleast get the story?

Thanks again,
Cleo4

The last saved point of 80 Days is the start at the sloop. To see the end, this sloop-furnace puzzle has to be finished. I'm sorry.

Try to get the closest planks to the furnace first so that you can accumulate more time to get the farther ones. You can do it - takes lots of patience and huffing and puffing.

I am at the spot with the Gold Buddha. I have a mental blank with this one. I saw a diagram with the lines drawn on the stones in a walkthrough. But, the arrows go both ways. Which stones go on which posts? Is there any special order? Help! Thanks.

Hi Laurette, the stones do go in certain places and you will only use two of them. I used the side stones to guide me with this puzzle. Match the second stone up from the bottom on the left side of the stones in front of you.....should be two complete lines with a break in the line at the bottom that you will place on the left column as you face it. The stone for the right column has the broken line at the rop and two solid lines under it. Match it to the top line of stones, third from the left.
Good luck

It's not that hard of a puzzle if you look for the symbol that you saw on the rock. There's just a lot going on and that makes it confusing.
Good luck!
Oh, be sure to wait a few seconds after you place the stones to see if there is a cut scene of the bridge coming down.

I am very near the end trying to lower the small steam ferry at the back of the Big ship.The right derrick puzzle went ok but the left puzzle is doing weird stuff.When i click on it I can only see 6 0f the 9 tiles of the right pattern,therefore i dont know what color 3 of them are so I cant finish the puzzle.Also my mouse slows down and moves erratically around.I think i am into some kind of serious bug.What do I do now? I am so close to the end!

Geo,

Try closing the program, do a hard boot (that is tunr off the computer completely - not restart, wait a bit, then turn on the computer again) close all other background things and/or play with the options to see which one helps.

Also when doing the puzzle, do it slowly.
The next save is at the sloop part already and you will miss some stuff.
If you want that saved game - holler.

hello,
I already tried all those hints.I cant do the puzzle slowly if I cant see part of it.I dont think I need a save unless there is something spectacular at the end I will miss.

There's the end timed puzzle and then the end of the 80 Days trip plus the explanation of the ending.

Do you think turning off shadows would help with this sort of problem?

Geo,

Try but the best bet is to post at Glitches - they might know all what those doodads do at Options menu.

hello,
Looks like I have the same bug that sinotek had.After thinking about it,I would appreciate a saved game after this point.I may as well finish it since I went this far.Are the saves the jpegs I saw in one folder or are those just the picture of the save?
Thanks,geo

Geo,

I sent you the last 2 saved games. Yes, the saved games are in jpegs and found at C:\Program Files\Trisynergy\Frogwares\80 Days\game.
They are arranged by dates so these will be at the beginning of the scroll load.
