in storage room as i start looking for the oil flask I die over and over again and even before i go in.....any thoughts on this ? driving me nuts i guess i'm just not fast enough ....operator error.

I don't remember much of anything about this game, but looking at the walkthrough, it looks like you might be on a long timer as well as shorter ones -- and the long timer may have run out.

You might want to try to replay from the beginning of the timed sequences (possibly from the beginning of Level 3) and get through everything as quickly as possible.

thanks , i found a saved game just before the slider puzzle - just before i go in to the LAB.but i think i need a saved game after this.
