Journey to the Center of the Earth

I am at the very, very beginning of the game after the rocks crash down on the helicopter. Ariane is standing there. She keeps moving her head but I cannot get her to move. Her first words "I think someone is watching me" won't go away either. They remain on the screen. What do I do? What could be wrong? The WT says she is to walk to the helicopter. I can't get her to move in any direction.

The movement of Ariane is picky. You have to get use to moving the cursor to look for foot icons on the ground, click and see if she moves that way.

I have been all over, in all directions. Nothing!
Am I just moving the cursor, as in sliding it around, or am I clicking as I am moving it? Which direction? Also, why are the words still on the screen? Thank you.
BTW, this is Renee's sister, Roberta. I am visiting her for a few days. She made me tell you...

Hello Roberta and to GameBoomers! Glad you dropped in to see us.

I'm sorry that I don't know more about this game, but have you tried double clicking on footstep cursor to make Ariane "run"?

If that doesn't work for you, give another yell and I'll see if I can scare up someone who knows more about it...

To move Ariane, you just need to click the cursor where you want her to go, preferably with the feet hanging on the cursor.

As for the words, on the screen it should just show and will disappear when you move one or 2 steps.

Maybe turning off the game and/or rebooting the computer might help. If that doesn't maybe it's a bad install and need to be reinstalled.
A post at glitches might help if they don't work out.

Hello again, Jenny! I am a long time member!! :-) The only cursor that is on the screen is a triangular shaped cursor. There are no footsteps anywhere. I have clicked everywhere........ So, please call in the troops!!!!! I am impatiently waiting to play this game. :-) Thanks, Roberta

Hi Roberta, pinch Renee for me. Tell her she is experienced enough to be helping you. I just reinstalled my game and moving Ariane around should be no problem. Move your cursor to the left until you see footprints and then click at that spot. For now don't worry about the text on the screen. We are just going to see if we can get Ariane to move. Then let me know.

Hi,

Hope this info helps. In some parts of the game it requires pin-point accuracy cursor movement. Especially when point and clicking on a distant object namely the helicopter if you are some distance from it. This being due to a specific object that requires you to click it. The best way would be to move your cursor/icon slowly until you see foot print icon indicating a hotspot or movement. Failing that re-install the game and check compatibility. Not all games run successfully on windows XP.
