I think my first taste of "action" was with Indigo Prophecy, I hated that game. Thought I'd end up in ER for sure, too stressful!
I am a tad confused. What planks? I've not seen any planks! I think in one direction there are spider eggs and the other there are some type of lanterns on the ground. I did see the video on Youtube but, that kid was pretty darn fast, he had youth on his side. Should I call it done and move on, or give it a go?

You seem to have the ability to choose action games with very complicated interfaces Indigo Prophesy drove me crazy, interesting idea but IMO terrible controls.

HERE there is a WT that may help you, I don't remember much of the game after so many years.

It seems that I may have resolved my problem whether I meant to or not. I went back into the shaft/cave from the tunnel with the spiders and it appears that I will have to do the ladder and crate thing again in order to get back to the tunnel above the cave. That save is gone! Does this make sense?

Glad you got past it Terri!

Oops, I guess I didn't explain it very well. Not sure how to put it....I went back to the previous area(cave with ladder)and for some reason my progress was lost. The spiders were after the cave with the ladder. I don't understand why going back would have interferred with the saved game with the spiders.

Hi, Terri, don't have much time I am at the library and almost out of my alloted time.
But- saying that- there are different saves-- when you go to load you can load different saves- hope you understand. and if not I hope some one can come along and explain better. The spiders are a very tough spot hope you can get past them. It was the hardest part for me.

Hi Winfrey. Hope all is well with you. Yes, I realize I can load different saves but all the saves are from a week ago or later. It's as though it dropped the new save when I went back into the cave......... Just loaded the game again and this is rather odd, I'm back where I should be, I am too sure that game was not there the other day, because I scanned thru all of them.
Thanks.
Terri

Terri, sounds like you just had a computer glitch...glad it's working correctly now.

Hi L4L. I think you're correct about the glitch. I don't think I will ever finish this game, it's been on my pc for months and I forget how to manuever around after not playing for a while. Need to go back and practice swinging the pick-axe before I can proceed.

Yes, those controls definitely take some practice to get used to.

This is about the glitchiest game I have played. At present I am trying to move the crate and am having some difficulty getting it in place not to mention that this game is giving me a headache and making me a little sick. Are there any shortcuts in this game? Any major hints?
I think I will quit for now and try to re-coop.

Terri, did you get past this?

Hi L4L. Nope, still trying to get the crates lined up and having some problems getting up on them. I can't play this game for very long, it makes me sick, literally. Yesterday I had the shakes after playing, I may have to abandon it. Do you remember if it get's any more difficult?

Thanks,
Terri

Terri, I didn't play that one..I played Black Plague....the spookiest game I think I have ever played!

I did struggle with the control system though.

I bought the two games and had put them back to play later. I may uninstall Overture and try the other game. How difficult were the controls? I'm bad about purchasing games and sticking them back and by the time I play them they're old. LOL I'mmmmmmmmmmmmm Baaackkkkkkkk. I am in the Hydraulics 101 section of the game and am trying to get out the door (must be barefoot ,because I'm not moving fast enough) I haven't been able to get rid of any of the spiders but just keep running. Anyone got any hints on this? I've made it to the door but it's only about half opened. Thanks, Terri %0
