I feel I have tried all I can think of and still he jumps into the abyss.I have tried different places along the rope but he is just not at the right place and plummets. I am all out of things to do. I thought he might be too low so tried the up arrow with the jump but no. It has got so that every time I log into my computer the first thing I do before anything else is try to get him onto the opposite ledge! How sad is that?

I am sorry I can't help you on the action puzzle.

Oh Dear!

Have started playing Adam's Venture episode one and have come upon a bit where I cannot go further. The hints etc can't help me anymore so was wondering if you could help please. The thing is, I am at a part where he has to shimmy around a cave on a rope at the end of which is a place where he has to jump from the rope onto white stones. I have followed the walkthrough to the letter but each time I leave the rope, hanging from one hand as described, he jumps into the abyss! I have consulted the sellers they maintain that if the game downloads it is not faulty. Also mailed the game company but they have not replied even though I sent a DXDIAG thingy too. Is there anything you can suggest that would allow me to continue with my game? hate to leave unfinished games! Grrr!

I haven't played the game, but I think this is a Hints problem rather than a technical problem. The walkthrough may not be clear, or it's possible the game interface isn't consistent. Anyway, I'll move your post to Hints.

Thanks, Jenny. I've merged Lozza's threads for the game.

In hope that someone familiar with this spot in the game can step forward and help. :)

Rushes,
Do you know if this game allows transferring of saves?

I don't think so, Jenny. The saves are checkpoint-based and from what I gather it isn't possible to go back to an earlier save game or have separate save files.
