Hi menahune,

Glad you're playing now.
Check THIS old thread, see if it helps.

thanks for the hint, Rushes ... I checked out that old thread, but it didn't help

I'm about ready to give up ... the map shows two blue dots, each mark Greengrocer, but they're on different streets ... I thought one might be the house

Before you can find the greencrocer's house and the gate (key) - you have to find out first where it is located.
The maid at the banker's house will tell you that banker went to Traversa Sopramonte near the Greengrocer's house. Now you know where the greengrocer's house is located.
You are asked to bring the newspaper to the banker by the newsagent.

ho hum, it's me again, and I need help again

thanks for previous help, MaG ... I've been moving right along, but stuck again

I'm at Villa Jole. I'm supposed to talk to the niece and give her the cheese in exchange for cacao. When I press the buzzer, she doesn't answer. Then I tried doing the cheese exchange, but that doesn't work. I guess you have to talk to some one first.

Is the game linear? Maybe I missed something critical way back somewhere.

menahune,

Double check that you have the correct cheese. It should be shaped like a duck. You bought it from the second deli.

yes, I have the cheese shaped like a duck from the second deli ... I also have a lemon, walnuts, tomato and a thistly looking thing.

only the upper buzzer works as yet ... still no reply from the niece

hhmmmm

Did Rafaele's mom ask you to deliver the cheese to her niece?

Rafele's house: (18) Go forward until you see stairs on the left (Via Belvedere Cesina). Climb the stone steps, forward until door with purple flowered vines. Turn left and up the stairs. Press the Nannini buzzer and talk to Rafele's mother. She wants you to go to the niece at Villa Jole and bring her caciocavallo. The money is in lantern by Uncle's house.

Are you sure you are in the correct house?

oh jeez - wrong cheez

I didn't realize there were two delis

thanks, MaG - has anyone ever finished this game without a walkthru?

except you, of course ... you wrote it

I'm sure there are a lot of gamers that played without walkthrough. I remember them posting when the game came out. I think there was even a contest associated with the release.

needing help again, please

the photographer has loaned me a camera and asked me to take a picture of the memorial tablet ... I'm at the end of Via Dentecala, and followed the walkthru ... turn right, turn around, see cliffside. I took two photos, one from a distance and one up closer

when I return to the camera store, I can't put the camera on the counter ... it just stays in 'click' mode

did I miss something here?

thanks for your hints and suggestions

menahune,

Did you see the memorial tablet from afar?

The walkthrough states:

Go to the very end of Via Dentecala to a lookout point. Face the water and then turn around-then right in order to see the cliffside.

yes, I did that ... faced the water, turned around, then right

I saw a big cliff and clicked photo, went closer and clicked again

I'm going back now and try again

day 3 - still stuck on the camera problem ... went back and did the message puzzle at the Tourist Informer again in case I'd not done it properly - then back to take photos again at the cliff and restaurant

back at the camera shop, the camera is still in click mode on the bottom right of frame

if I can't get past this, I'll just roam around Capri and enjoy the scenery

I wonder if you can look close at the counter of the camera shop and can you lay it anywhere in the shop. Also is the man in there? Are there any other active spots in the shop?
Can you examine the camera in inventory?
