Hi Everyone,
Please Help! I am in Gideon's Gallery and I think I will be here forever. I found the panel I think but I can't get to it. He says I have to get down but everytime he gets down he dies.
It is so confusing and believe me, it doesn't take much for me!
It just may take a saved game to get me out of here!
Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Joanie,

Ahh - you're on the wall already and see the panel.

Check this hints only by Erik on the 2 sequences after you're on the wall.-

Going to alarm panel and after the walls are electrified.

If still no go - Betty Lou has the lifesaver ready to throw at 'ya.

Good luck, Joanie!

The fact that Tex says that you have to get down makes me think that (a) you haven't found the correct panel, or (b) you are not close enough to it. You definitely don't have to get down from the wall to access the panel. For an alternative explanation, I'll paste a small section from my walkthrough:

"Hit the switch to lower the chandelier, and click on the chandelier with the pole. Tex will shimmy across the pole and land on the top of the nearest retaining wall.

At this point the entire floor of the gallery is alarmed, but the walls are not. Tex must now find the alarm panel to start the alarm sequence shown on the sheet in Gideon's bedroom. As you move along the wall, be sure to look down at all times - a fall will kill you. From where Tex is now standing, go forward until the wall ends, then turn right and go forward until the wall ends. Turn left, and go forward until the wall ends. Turn to your left and go forward, but turn towards a wall going off to your right at the first opportunity. Go about half-way along this wall and stop. Looking down, and turning to your right, you should see the red and black alarm panel once you have turned almost 180 degrees. Go ahead and open the panel."

As Betje and the walkthrough said - Follow the tops around to the far right corner. Find and look at the security panel. Open it and activate it. The security sequence from the schematic starts. Bypass (Alt-F) When you get past, open the doors, and enter the hallway.

Good luck, Joanie!

Thanks guys, I tried the 911 and alt-f1 and neither work. There seems to be only one panel and when I turn it on the schematic doesn't start for some reason. I heard a little noise. Then he says I have to jump down on the floor in the middle of the retaing walls or somthing like that. How can you tell when the schematic starts anyway? Now almost any move I make on the wall brings either him or her telling me he has to find another way.
I'm getting really frustrated here. Please somhow get me out of here! Thank you.
Luv, Joanie

One of my problems is I can't figure how to get on the floor without getting killed. I probably have to be on the floor in order for 911 to work cause when I try to use it on the wall after turning the panel on, it goes back to him saying he wouldn't do that and luckily there is another way without dying. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> I really want out of here!Thanks everyone,you are all so kind to help me. Luv, Joanie
P.S. I got to the floor but the bypasses don't work there either.

If Tex says he has to jump down, you have turned on the panel. Go to the center of the room and watch for the floor to get light in the areas shown in the diagrams (actually red in the diagrams). It is difficult to figure out exactly where the dark safe areas are. I got about 3/4 of the way through and then used the 911 passcode.

Hi Everyone!! I did it !!! I moved a little on the floor and then did Alt-f and it worked!
One little question tho--
How do you turn the puzzle pieces around. I really like jigsaw puzzles but can't seem to be able to turn the pieces around. Would appreciate your letting me know. Thanks so much. Luv, Joanie

SHEESH--I just realized I had the Overseer manual sitting on my computer desk!!! On page 21 it discusses puzzles. To rotate a piece, click on it with the left cursor and then use the right or left arrow keys to move it....
