hi I am in lab with lit torch what do I do with the torch have found the key have put the torch back in inventory it is lit do I leave it there. "Thanks.

Gemma,

Its been years since I've played this game. If it goes back into inventory, maybe you'll need it again later.

Hi thanks I have another one in inventory not lit but don't know what to do with the lit one I also played this one years ago but have forgotten a lot. Oh Nemesis was fabulous managed to get through it without to many glitches. thanks tlc.

Gemma,

You're welcome. Glad you got through Nemesis.

Gemma, like TLC, it's been a long time since I played this game, but I don't think you have to worry about the torch at all--it seems to me that after you lit it, you just go on with the game.
You will probably need that second torch too--there are certain things that need to be done and you can't finish them if you run out of light.

Btw, if you are ever looking for a walkthrough, the official name of this game is Sherlock Holmes: Mystery of the Mummy, and that's how it's listed in our walkthrough section...

Jenny,

I must be tired tonight, didn't notice the incorrect name of the game. Thanks.

Thanks am stuck in the rotating room can someone send me a saved game it is so dark in there I can't see anyway. Thanks.

Oh boy, Gemma, that's a difficult one--this game is old enough that I played it two computers ago, and my saves are looooong gone!

Let me check around on the internet and see if I can find any saves for you if no-one on the forums has one.

Edit:

Well, I didn't find a save, but the UHS Hints site has a diagram and some explicit directions for moving around the rotating room--those might help you. Check out here. And I assume you've checked to see if you can lighten your screen within the game? It's been so long that I don't remember if you can do that...

Thanks will keep trying. Thanks got your list of saved games but what do they call the room where the floor moves the one with the four soldiers maybe it is on that list there are some good ones on it also thanks. thanks put the saved games in the tmotm data file but still cannot get out of the room have the four statuettes and the brahms symbol but cannot find the riddle on the door any help appreciated thanks ps. been to the cheat sites and no help there very confusing I remember this from long time ago had trouble then but people were playing so got saved games but they all have moved on guess I might have to also. Thanks for all your help have uninstalled the game to frustrating so have put it away now have to find another one. Sherlock Holmes games hard to find here in the Hamilton, Ontario area EB Games kind of slow in getting them if ever you really have to search but that's that thanks again Mag, tlc, etc. for all your help talk soon no more games so far. Bye for now.

Gemma,

Here's some saved games: here.

Jenny.

Thanks, Marita--I wonder why those didn't show up when I googled for saves...

I'll be putting that in my favs. Thanks, MaG.

Hi am as confused as every got the list of saved games put them in my computer but now I don't know what to do with them sorry.

Gemma,

Find the save you need, download it and put it in the save folder. Under the list of saved games, it says to put the save here, C:\TMOTM\data\

Some info is at the bottom of the page.

Select the saved game file you want from the list (which part of the game).
Download it to your computer.
You should then: have 2 files - Slot#.sav / Slot#.tga
Place them in the C:\TMOTM\data\

Hi have done that but this game is giving my pc mega trouble it freezes sometime it doesn't start and when it does it does funny things to my pc think I am going to give it up it is causing to many problems like send error report etc. thanks for your help.

Gemma,

The patch might fix that. Did you try it?

Mag sorry don't understand what patch also cannot find my saved files have found the tmotm data file and there are the five saved games but when I try to rename them nothing happens. thx.

Gemma, I had all kinds of trouble with that game on my XP also. I read on a forum that uninstalling a specific hotfix made the game run normally.

The good news is that worked for me, but the bad news is that uninstalling the hotfix, while it was ok for many, turned my computer into a doorstop. It wouldn't even boot. I had to reload the OS ect so I wouldn't recommend it unless you are prepared to reload your computer.

Course, when I reloaded, I did not reinstall that particular hotfix and then game ran fine but had I known in advance what would happen, I'd have just played something else.

Thanks I think I will take your advice and just forget about tis game have played it before years ago and had trouble even then unless you have a saved game to get out of the moving doors I won't even try anything else am not that good when it comes to monkeying around with tekky stuff and I can't afford a fix however, I have a recovery disk for this acer maybe oh I better not I get into all kinds of fixes when I do stupid things thanks bye for now. appreciate all.

Gemma I don't have any saves for this game. I do remember that I used a WT to get past that rotating room. I'll be happy to look up the directions for you if you want to try, or google for a save.

The game would not run for me at all til I removed that hotfix, so you are not having the same problems I had. You might be able to finish it.

have a good wt from Mag excellent but just can't get out of that room.

Gemma,

I posted a saved game link on the first page. All you have to do is follow the instrauctions that is also posted at the first page of this thread. You can do it

Gemma, here are a set of directions from UHS-Hints. They increase in specificity so I'll put each level under a different spoiler. I think this is how I got through the room.
