If you're talking about getting to the tram on the Gold Dome island, and have walked across a bridge, you need to walk back the way you came and enter the room on your right; left if you're on the way down. Inside you'll see a switch that opens the door blocking your way to the tram.
If something gets your goat, it just proves you have a goat to get.

Someone else had this problem recently, too. You may not have drained the water out of the boiler. When you do you will see it go down throug a little window out there on the side where you turned off the flames, etc. About the saves.......it's been much too long since I played this game to remember that part but if I find it in my notes I will come back and edit THIS post. I'm wondering if, doing the saves the way you are, if you are not overwriting your previous save(s) and have only one save all the time.
I didn't do it......and if I did I'm not guilty!

I'm like you, BillyBob, it's been too long since I played this one to remember, but I suspect that using ctl + S is going to only result in one save.
Mome, check out your manual--there should be a way to do "save as" and have a whole bunch of saves. And I'm glad that walkthrough helped you; it looked the clearest to me of all the ones I saw.
I'm going to consult Dee on this--she is a real Riven expert, but with things the way they are for her right now, I'm not sure how soon I will get an answer...

Mome, to view (or hide) the menu bar either hold down the Ctrl key and press the space ber OR click near the top of the screen. There you will find the options, including Open a saved Game and Save As so you can have multiple saved games. Jema

And when you go up top to save your game, you can name it or number it, and have as many as you like. The 2nd & 3rd time I played it, I did both, numbered in sequence as well as what I just finished at where-ever I was, due to stopping in the same location more than once. LOVE this game...

I should have remembered going to the top of the screen to access the menu. I believe it worked the same way for MYST. I'm going to have to break down and replay this RIVEN game some day!

When you go to the top of the screen what choices do you actually see?

OK here's what comesup when I go to top of screen: TRANSITIONS: None, Fastest, Normal, Best. OPTIONS: Water enabled, 640x480 resolution, zipmode, ambient sounds, setup. & then the HELP column: about, credits.
Nothing there looks like a save game place to me??
New problem, am at the 'Finally a Mp Island'. Now, I more or less, mostly less, understand what to do thanks to WT but I am supposed to go down the 'lift' to go to the tram car to go to island. Can't find the 'lift'.
If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have anyluck at all!!!

Mome, it looks like I'm going to have to install this game and see what I can find to help you out. I'm sure it will all come back to me once I get into it. I really don't have an inkling to where you are and where you are trying to go. If you want, EMail me a good size section of the WT you're reading and indicate where you are and I'll try to work it out for you. Almost forgot to ask. Are you playing this on Windows98??

Mome, I don't think you need a "lift" here--this is how you got up to the maps: "exit the rail car, head through the doorway, and up the steps outside". To get back down, just reverse the steps: down the stairs, through the doorway and into the rail car-- BUT when you get in the car don't move it forward, just turn it around and get out the other side...

Mome, From the menu at the top of the page, check "set up" under Options. Your "save as" option might be there. There are two ways to get to Plateau Island (sometimes called Spike Island). If you come over from the tram near Gehn's lab on Crater Island, you'll pass the spikes and take the elevator up to the overlook of the mini islands and the map room with the topography machine. There is also a tramway to and from Jungle Island, but you'll have to explore the lower level of the island to find it.
