Marian I have experienced this on quite a few of BF older games. In the past I would submit a help request about it and they would just give me a free BF code to compensate for the game loss. Not sure about now. One workaround I figured out was if I had a saved executable of the demo of said game I could install that and then activate it on my account. So since then I make sure and download the demo .exe files for any BF game I am interested in. Not sure if this still works though since BF has gone through so many back end changes! Also of course we have all the old games using flash that no longer work too, not sure if third party flash add ons work with these old BF games or not. Yay, isn't progress great?!? :-p

I also didn't understand the car key puzzle clue and still don't. I unlocked it somehow just by clicking around. I saved my game and went back in to try to duplicate what I had pressed to solve the puzzle but could not although I did get lucky again. Tried yet again to duplicate the moves I thought I made but couldn't. I see the solution in the thread here but still don't understand it and still have trouble doing it. In addition to not understanding how this sequence matches the clue, apparently you can't just click the locked lock twice you have to hold it down until it beeps twice. This is the second time I've not understood a puzzle in a Carol Reed game. The last time was a few games back (I don't remember which one for sure). I guess that 's not bad for 21 games but I don't like it.

I did not see a skip button on the slider but I didn't really look for one. I just grumbled and cursed until I solved it.

Link received, I'm playing already!!!

Thank you Ana and Mikael.

All good answers!

Just trying a stab in the dark! When I asked the question in one of the tech forums, the AI answer suggested trying to use the up and down arrows to navigate.

I agree about reviews. I find myself looking at them, but mostly never base my purchase decision on them.

I mentioned one puzzle for sure that I was unable to do but there very well may have been more that I don't remember. Good luck with the one you are on.

I thought maybe you could hear me from here . I didn't post anything. I don't want to spoil anything by mentioning the puzzle which opened up The Lookout.

Thanks, Marian!

Thank you Ana!

Good morning Remi, manXman, OldBroad and Michele ... most excellent finish

We could be in trouble by now for being off topic, sureshot, but keep on with your wonderful collecting 👍👍👍
