In Overseer, Tex has to find the password to Greg's computer.

I remember I liked that puzzle a lot. Does anyone still know the full text for that puzzle?

I checked the walkthrough for this:

Thanks MaG.

As part of the puzzle, you had to extract those words from a longer message. I'm looking for that complete text.
Any idea were to find that, apart from playing the game again?(don't think I can get it working anymore)

I best move you to Adventure Discussion forum.
Someone might remember. I will also keep a lookout.

Check here Tex' office to see if there's anything that might relate to it.

There's a movie file at bottom of the page - it might be there.

Here's a fan message board that might help you too.

Wouldn't it be mahvelous for Tex (I loved those TM games) and Gabe to be able to play on my XP with 'compatibility mode'? Oh, I am so enjoying the first 2 Dracula games - finished Resurrection (it's short but such fun!) and am immersed in The Last Sanctuary now.....hoping Drac3 is as good!

Hi, HandsFree!

I dug out the notes I made while playing "Overseer" and I have written down

Susan

Hi Susie07 -- wow, you take such good notes. And you keep them where you can find them!

I stuck in a spoiler tag for people who haven't had the chance to play Overseer yet.

Hi Susie07, that's impressive archiving
Unfortunately I'm looking exactly for that thing you didn't write down...

Hi, Becky!

Aw shucks ... thanks. I was a Section Leader in the Adventures section of the old GAMERS forum on Compuserve during the '90s, and I always made notes while playing so I could help out the members who got stuck. Since I couldn't bear to part with my notes, I stuck them in a folder in my file cabinet, and that's where they still are !

While we were playing GK1, Jane Jensen was a frequent poster in the forum, and while we were playing Shivers 1 and 2, Willie Eide (one of the game developers) was also a frequent poster, and he agreed to be a special guest at both a Shivers 1 and Shivers 2 conference that I hosted. He even gave Diane (who recently joined GAMEBOOMERS) a tour of the Sierra offices and she got a sneak peak of S2 before it was released.

These threads about "Overseer" and "GK3" have brought back such fond memories that I just might replay them, if I can get them to run under WinXP.

Hi Susue07 -- I've heard about that forum on Compuserve, though it was closed down before I ever got to post there. Thanks for keeping your notes!

I found my notes and unfortunately:

Hi, colpet!

I think we Canadians must be pack rats because we both have notes from games we played over a decade ago !

Susan

Well, thanks for trying. I'll let you know if I ever find it. (maybe I get Overseer running after all, didn't try that yet).

I have a full file drawer, not counting the notes I have stashed in the game boxes themselves (you remember those nice large boxes games used to come in ). I put so much time and detail into my notes, I can't bear to throw them away.

Note? You write notes while playing? I rarely do that and then it its on scrap paper that gets tossed (or shredded now) when I'm done.

Hi, colpet!

You've got me beat because I only have one measly file folder that contains my notes.

I sure do remember those nice large game boxes. In fact, I'm looking at them right now because, after paying $50, $60 or even $70 dollars for the "old and golden goodies", I can't bear to part with them, and I even replay them again from time to time.

Hi, GT!

I don't make as many notes now as I used to, but they come in handy if someone posts a request for help in the Hints forum and I can't remember the answer off the top of my head (can you say "brain burp"?). They also come in handy if I decide to replay a game and get stuck.

Back in the "text" adventure days, I drew pages and pages of maps, and I remember how excited I was when "Beyond Zork" was released and included a mapping feature. I'm sure one or two paper companies that I shopped at went bankrupt at that point !
