oldbroad, I know you don't like to do this, but I had to use the walkthrough here at GB to get myself started. It got easier after that and I hardly had to use it.
Have you gone outside and climbed to Don's office and gone inside through the window? Talked to the demon? Gotten some balloons? There is a lot of stuff to do before you get the tube to work.

I know what you mean! I feel the same way. But I also don't want to get so frustrated with myself I stop playing the game! Hope you get get past this point and move on!

ARGH!! This is why I don't want to use a walkthrough or even have to ask for hints. I went to the secretary's desk, walked past it a bit, turned around, and there's the hole punch right there in front of me. It seemed like every other time I looked over there all I was getting was the secretary (a comment and/or a conversation). Right there! Right in front of me! That kills me!! Anyway, thank you again so very much mbday630 (and Drac). I am moving on now. For how long and how far? We'll see! EDIT: Well, not too far and I'm stuck again but I will see how it goes tomorrow.

I have done the proverbial forehead slap myself! And if I've looked at a walkthrough, I slap it twice!

Whilst I very much enjoyed both the original and re-mastered versions of this game I have to say I'm not very keen on the "head nod" type notification of interactive items etc.. So easy to miss !! But having said that, I'm getting the urge to replay the game.... yet again. However I MUST resist for the moment ]

All I would do is go to the walkthrough to find out what you missed! I just can't remember.

I think mbday has got it! I vaguely remember "using" it on Manny.

I wondered about that mbday630, but I did not see any way to do it. I will check into that better now that I know for sure what I'm trying to do. Thank you! By the way, is there some way to use 2 inventory items together? Draclvr, just for the record, I would never expect anybody to just read the walkthrough for me for a whole game. This is probably the last hint I will ask for. If I continue to have trouble I will consult UHS Hints, which I tried to look at yesterday but was still not able to convince myself to look at the part I needed to look at . I do miss the days when MaG was active on the board here. She had played most of the games and written most of the walkthroughs and was quite good at giving hints because she was so familiar with the games. I know it is not easy.

I know, oldbroad! You are totally NOT asking us to read the walkthrough for you - that was why I laughed and said, that's about all I would be able to do because I couldn't remember! MaG was indeed an encyclopedia of adventure game knowledge.

oldbroad, at Mystery Manor we have a very large database of game manuals. I thought I had uploaded my old Grim Fandango manual, but I don't think I did. I will get it scanned and uploaded so Ghostlady can post it.

I can find my old game Drac so don't do that on my account please. Marian, I saw some instructions but not about using an inventory item on myself. I'm taking a break as I am already stuck again .

Once you actually have the item in your hand, don't you just then click on "Enter" ??

No, oldbroad. We are adding to the game manual database as much as we can! I'm just glad I checked and found out we didn't have one! If you need manuals for any older games, we have a bunch of there over there.

I just was looking around the inventory as suggested by mbday630 and found that when you are holding an item, there is an icon above the inventory icon, and that was the only place I could see to click and it worked.

oldbroad, just FYI. Ghostlady just got the Grim Fandango user's manual up in the Chapel at Mystery Manor.

I played the Remastered version on my Windows 10 and was lucky that it never glitched on me at all. I know I also made very generous use of those save slots - multiple times!

I'm playing in Windows 7, not 10. I left Glottis up there spinning around while I went over the cables with the wheelbarrow. Eventually, that worked. With the elevator, I could not manipulate the fork lift well while using the mouse. I clicked on the forklift seat and ended up walking out the elevator door more times than I cared for. Then I could literally see black spots on my screen and if Manny hit one, he was gone. No way to get him back, and no way to get to the menu or my desktop to close the game. Marian, I'm sure backing up the saves is doable but I have never done it and don't feel like frustrating myself trying to figure that out and having to do that over and over. Anyway, I still love the game .
