No Pokey I'm not sure. I've been trying to jump to a sort of half round ledge to the left of the broken bridge. There is a very thin one on the right I'll go back and try that. Thanks bunches. nu2gaming

Hi; Well I finally made it across that jump. At first I kept trying to jump close to the bridge and kept falling. Then I said, "what could happen, you'd fall"? So I tried jumping closer (to a ledge I wasn't even sure I was seeing) and I made it. Only to fall in some kind of hole a little farther. Oh well. The reason I started playing these games is because I had so much spare time. So what the heck. nu2gaming

Oh dear. After you go across and kill all the scorpions, or whatever they are, and get back to the bridge do you stay on the narrow ledge all the way across or what? I keep falling off before I get to the bridge.
EDIT: Nevermind. I finally looked around, without falling, and saw the cave opening. Now all I have to do is make that jump. So far no luck. I wish you didn't have to go all the way back to where you use the lever. That seems too long without a save. nu2gaming

You use the lever, and then make the jump across the bridge and follow the lights on the ground until you get to where you need to go. It isn't very far -- it just seems like it is because you can end up going in circles if you lose sight of the lights.
By the way leave the green jewel where it is.

OK. Here's what's happening. I fight the polyups (it takes forever for that thing to charge up) then when no more come at me I move and am suddenly surrounded by bluish/greenish everything (it sort of looks like being under water). Have I been knocked off the bridge or has the program crashed?

Someone else had this same problem. I think it might be a bug. But try the sequence again just to be sure.
The official site is up now, so you might be able to get some help. There's some stickies about technical issues.

Whoa! This is going to take some doing. In all the times I've shot the gong, run upstairs, killed the fishmen and then got the fishman point of view (once), I jumped up to the statue but don't know if I managed to trip the switch. I didn't see Jack's hand, and then it was back to Jack's point of view. Did I or didn't I? And do you really mean I have to do this for four statues. Whew! How do I know when I trip the switch? I'm worn out already. nu2gaming

Thanks Pokey; A couple more questions: If I go back to the save point then later exit game (before reaching another save point) do I keep whatever progress I went back and saved? And what's with Jack? He has started randomly drawing weapons. It's very strange. nu2gaming

Pokey; Am I right in assuming that once Jack's vision clears and I hear that high pitched singing, or what ever it is, that I just need to go back down and shoot the gong again? Boy, I must be the world's slowest learner. nu2gaming

Help!! I finally learned to shoot the gong, but I cannot get Jack to push the lever on the back of the statue. You just push the "S" key right? For some reason it's not working.  I've tried standing directly in front of the switch and off to both sides. I'm pushing "S" like crazy but nothing is happening.  nu2gaming
