In the top right corner of the screen, where the save/load/menu icons are is also a tiny magnifying glass similar to those that you see all over the screen when using the spacebar. You can click on that, too, for finding points to click on but the spacebar is easier and not so hard to find.

I have the very same problem with the dynamite. I have done absolutely everything so far but just can't get the fuse cable and the dynamite connected. Could possibly someone send me a save game right after the connection?

Hi Saya,

I'll send you the closest save I have after this.

Thank you very much Rushes! I appreciate your help!

You're welcome.

Apparently, I have the exact same problems as BillyBob, first the dynamite, now the staff... Rushes could you help me out again, please? Thanks in advance!

It's on its way, Saya.

Thaaaaaaaaanks Rushes!

You're welcome!

Hi Rushes,

Am having the same problem as BillyBob did originally where I can't attach the fuse cable to the dynamite on the lower hatch, despite several attempts.

Can you possibly send me a saved game soon after this point?

Thanks heaps.

Mick.

Hi Mick, to GameBoomers.

The save's on the way.

Thanks heaps Rushes!!!

You're welcome. Enjoy the game.

And now me :-) I have exactly the same problem. Couldn't get past this point because of the dynamite stuff. I spent nearly one day with it, and I gave up. I would really appreciate, if you could send me the save file, Rushes :-)

Thank you very much in advance. Have a good day.

Hi Hien, to GameBoomers.

The save's on the way to you too.

I am having the same problem!! I too spend a day or so on this game only to be stuck with the dynamite glitch. I thought I was going crazy until I googled it and found this thread.
Would it be too much if I asked for the saved game as well? I would SOOO appreciate it!

Thank you so much Rushes. I really appreciate that :-)

Hi Mariamne, to GameBoomers.
On its way!

You're welcome, Hien. Enjoy the game.

Rushes, that dynamite save sure is getting a workout. They are not trying to attach the fuse cable to the dynamite in the inventory by chance are they?

oldmariner -- it really is! It's possibly a glitch. Most of the members having problems are specific about the dynamite already being placed on the hatch, so I don't think it's that. I need to replay this section.

Rushes, I did not have any issue with that at all. Is there more than one English release where a glitch in only a US or England issue is effected? Just a thought or it could be operating system issue. I'm using XP pro.

I didn't have a problem here either. I have XP Media. I'm not sure which versions, disc or download, anyone else here is playing on, but I played both the pre-release download and the UK disc release as soon as it came out.

Hi Rushes,

It's me again! And guess what, I'm having the same issue as billybob and saya had at the end of the game with regard the staffs.

Can you please send me the saved game once the 3 staffs are in please.

Thanks in advance again!

Michael

PS: No doubt you'll get the same message from other players in the near future.

Hi Michael,

Just out of interest, which staff are you having a problem with? Is it the one at bottom far left, and the inventory keeps popping up to block the slab?

The save's on its way.

I found a solution to this problem.

I know this thread is quite old but I ran into the same issues described on this post. For me the problem was the screen resolution of the game. Higher screen resolutions cause the item bar on the bottom of the screen to actually cover the bottom of the clickable play area. When this happens you can't click on some items because they are too close to the item bar.

If you lower the screen resolution, the item bar appears as a separate black bar below the clickable play area of the game.

I just switched to a lower resolution to get past the few areas impacted by it and then switched back to the higher resolution.

Hopefully this helps someone else with this same problem in the future.
