syd, sure you should do all the side quest if thats what you want to do. i always try to do all possible side quests. in anachronox some of the best weapons you can only get by doing the side quests.

the mystech tunnels is a good place to level up once you have access to them.

It's been a while since I played this, so probably Zanthia or Scout could tell you with more detail, but there is actually one character that will keep sending you on mindless quests and give you nothing in return. Sound familiar anyone?

I give up. I can't for the life of me remember anyone stiffing me on a quest. Of course I might have just blocked it out of my mind.

I had to look it up - the lost and found beebohbot in Votowne.

the lost and found was one side quest i didn't bother with knowing that it wasn't worth the time to do it.

okay, been reading this strand and am taking some advise-will run on XP right?
I'm off to gogamer

Oh, the lost and found thingie. I think I just thought, "Yeah right..." and kept going. Or I just forgot. Forgetting can really do wonders for moving you along in a game. Or stopping you dead.

Ingie, I think a couple people have played Anachronox in XP. One of them had a problem with the camera. It worked but he couldn't see the photos he took. I never did hear back if it was a problem or not. Dunno if that was XP or his particular system.
