please, I've been on the shuttle for over half an hour (sadly, haven't got very far I know! But I keep "dying" 'cos my curser & shuttle buttons are only reacting intermittently.I'm quickly reaching screaming point. Not a pretty sight....
I'm desperatly in need of a patch to escape.

Hi Haucardiere,

I don't have any saves for this game, unfortunately, we'll have to wait for help.

Are you clicking the direction arrows before you reach each intersection? If you wait until the point of intersection to click then that may be why it isn't reacting.

Is this the start of the game - after the cab ride puzzle?

Hey guys,
Thanks for the input,
I've finally managed to extract myself from the shuttle nightmare & if it helps anyone else reading this in the future (yes,I do know this is an "old" game but you never know...) I found that I had to go forewards beforeI made each turn.
Didn't have anything better to do than get wiped out over & over again anyway!

You're welcome. Good that you found out the nuance.
