Alabama Smith and the escape from Pompeii

This is on Alawar game site for an hour trial it looks great just downloading it now

Thanks killerprophets, I'm dowloading right now also, it's exactly the kind of game I love!

me too will give me something to do this evening while the hubby takes kids to the firework display!

Isn't Guy Fawkes Day on the 5th?
Are they celebrating it on the 7th now?

It is on the 5th still but the main local firework show is the 7th its the closest Fri to the 5th, I think thats how they do it.

We will get fireworks all this weekend, my poor cats.

I hate fireworks, i like looking at them but cant stand the noise hence hubby taking them!

I'll have to get this one if it hits BFG just for the name alone

What kind of game is it? HOG? Adventure?

It's hard to explain, I would say it's a puzzle type HOG in that you find things to move on. Example, you have to find a key to open a box to get a coin to enter into a slot that opens a puzzle to open the door to the next level. That isn't actually in the game, just an example.

I played the one hour demo and got to the middle of the second chapter.

On the site it says there are 17 levels but within the game it uses Chapters so I'm not sure if there are 17 Chapters.....? If there are 17 Chapters then it is a keeper as it seems like it will be longer than other games of it's type such as Dream Chronicles etc.

I've been looking out for this game since I read the preview at Gamezebo a month ago. I jotted down that it is a Casual HOG Adventure by Alawar Entertainment.

Sounds like an Interactive HOG, my favorite kind.

Played the demo and depending on length, this looks really good. Lots of fun things to do and no timer. Two levels of play, casual and expert. The casual gives you a list of things to find I think. In the expert, you have to find the objects yourself. Good hints available.
Definitiely a keeper.

I got as far as the secret door, but I can't read the number on the slide (blackboard)

I think you have to turn out the lights, after you place the slide in the projector.

That was already done, I just can't read it properly.

I raced through the demo so things get blurred. If it's the one I think, you have the numbers 24??07. You need to find the device that looks like a circular wheel with a bar slider. Set the inside one to read 07 and the out side one to read 24 and this gives you the middle numbers.

Finished the demo what a great game. Got to chapt. 2 and ran out of time. Hope BF get the game. A keeper. The number is 241507.

Thanks for the numbers. If it gets to BF, I will be keeping this one.

There was one spot, I think it's when I went through the door, where I got that message "Send" or "Don't Send". It shut down the program.

You must have been ahead of me I don't remember that.

I am stuck on the safe combination at the prison cells. Does anyone know how to interput the codes needed? There are three rings of numbers. I don't know if they are going from right to left or visa vera....number of cells, number of prisoners and number of guards. Thank you for any information you can share with me.

I have found this to be a good game. I so far have enjoyed it quite a bit. They offer timer option, plenty of hints, interesting story line and most of the items easily found.

This sounds just like my kind of game also. Anyone tell me how big the download is please? I cant see this info on the Alawar site.

I don't think it's that big although I can't really remember. It think it was somewhere in the realm of 50MB which I guess can seem huge if you're on dial-up.

Rosabobi......the game size is about 73mg. I found it loaded easily.

OOPS, guess I was a wee bit off on the estimate...LOL

Alabama Smith -- distant cousin of Indiana Jones...

Thanks, all, for the info on the size of the download.

Will BFG be getting this game and, if so, when? Thanks.

I have issues with the safe puzzle too. I'm sure it's something simple, but I just don't get it. I know the numbers are 63.11.16 I've tried putting the 63 and 16 on both the outer ring and the inner ring to no avail. Also, it's hard to guage a 63 or a 16 or indeed an 11 on the dials as the dials are in increments of 10 without notches in between, so, you can get say, 60, but havto guess at 63 position.If someone out there can help I would be most grateful.

Tammy, BigFish never announces their release dates except on such huge releases that are anticipated sequels and those are usually not done till right before. It isn'yt possible to tell you when.

This is not a REal Arcade/ GameHouse game so BigFish should be getting it. They are the only ones that will not show up on BigFish for sure.

catzz....not ignoring you, I haven't played yet. Hopefully someone will be along shortly who has.

Hi all--I am stuck on entering the 3-digit code that will allow me to open the drawer where the candles are. I've found the ledger and have tried all the 3-digit codes in there, with no luck. Can anyone help? Thanks, Kristi

Whoops, figured it out! (Of course.) Hint: check the statistical information sheet on the wall.

Kristi, I combined your posts. Please use the edit button on your post rather than stacking them if no one has posted behind you.

Ana

Whoops, sorry about that, Ana! Thanks for letting me know.

I'm downloading this one the instant it appears on Big Fish! I'm so spoiled with instant gratification in buying a game as soon as the demo is over that I will just have to wait until it's available on Big Fish or I'll be tempted to pay full price. This sounds like my favorite kind of game. Thanks to all for your comments.

Ok, ty anyway, I'll hang in there and I'll keep trying. I will post the results if I finally solve it. :o)

CRACKED THE SAFE CODE Ok, I did it! I rock lol, have fun all, it's a great game, way too short but great fun all the same, a very refreshing puzzle HOG.

Thank you Catzzz for helping us out of the safe puzzle. Now to continue with the adventure, before the volcano blows up on all of us.

You are most welcome!

BFG does get Alawar games. The question is when.

This game is extraordinary! I found it today and am trying it now and I am hooked!

Just wanted to come by with my 2 cents worth.

Linda

This is a great game and I loved it. However, if I'd known it was so short I don't know whether I would have bought it, but you never really know until you finish it.

I just finished the trial WOW what a good game!!

It appears to be a winner! I hope it get to BF soon.

Ana

I'm one of the very few who tried it and didn't like it. Nothing is actually wrong with the game, just thought it was too frustrating for me. I guess I don't have the kind of brain power it takes to solve these.
