MaG,

Can't get outside to try, all doors to outside say that the weather is too bad...I am somewhere in CH 3...don't know what day...I still need to do a few other outside things, water the goat, Orchard, Ruined Village, but cant get out... I could go to a previous save...but I loath the idea of having to redo all that dialog with each guest...gathering the other items I need from outside, not a challenging feat anyway, would not lose much gameplay if like the save Rushes offered, in the saferoom,prior to the Grotto WITH the shovel, that would be great...you see how new I am, need instructions on receiving saves...ROXX

Mag - I have a save I can send to Roxx if you have not already done so.

Oh Thanks, Rushes.
I'm straining my eyes to see where those pictures are in the game. The synapses are not snapping.

No problem, MaG. Luckily, one of my saves had a close-up of the drawer puzzle, otherwise I would've been squinting too.

Roxx - the saved game is on its way to you, with instructions on how to install.

Doris and MaG,
untill the morrow, I am to bed...hope to here from you soon...Roxx

Roxx,

Rushes sent you a saved game. Please check your e-mail and see if it's there.

Roxx,

The save was sent to the e-mail address listed in your profile. I haven't received an undeliverable message, so it should be on its way if not already with you. If you prefer not to use the save just let us know and we'll try and work out your problem another way.

Hi, Roxx. Yes, when the guy said "the shed is empty" The scene changed to the dining room. I had no control...and the shed was far from empty. I never bothered to erase any saved games so I just noodled around till I found the one just previous and went back got there, emptied the shed and watered the goat. I will go in and try to make cider now. Good luck to us both!!!

Doris

Glad you got through with a an old game. Hope no more humps - enjoy the game.

Hey Rushes,
Pleased to meet you,
Having a little problem…
The two files you sent are now in my saved Games folder. However I don’t see the new save when I load the game. Do I need to rename these two files so that they will overwrite two that are already there? My saves are seven in number named slot0.ac1-slot6.ac1 and the image files are slot0-slot6. You sent slot18.ac1 and slot18. Nothing was overwritten when I put them in the folder, does that matter?
Roxx

Relabel the saved game files to be the last number in your set of saves. Looking at your list, it should be slot7.ac1 and slot7.

Good luck.

Thanks MaG, I'll give it a try and let you know...Roxx

Hey MaG and Rushes,
Thanks...renaming the files worked, I am now at the drawer puzzle with the shovel in inventory (!) and just a very few other items I didn't have before. Did not lose too much gameplay, Well thanks for the help...redoing all that dialog, just did not want to backtrack...Thanks again...
Hey Doris! That cider is pretty good stuff, huh? Well I am now going to go dig up that airpump. Good luck to you too...Roxx

Glad you're progressing with the game now, Roxx. Have fun.

Ok, sorry I am back again. I can't find the propeller!!!Thanks

Doris,

There's a broken submersible at the grotto. The propeller is there.

Thank you,again.

No problem, Doris. Just ask and if we can help - we will.

need help please we are in the study we cannot look at the map on the wall to click on shipwreck island it wont let get to the picture next to it. The cloest it well let us go is the globe in front or the music stand we cannot find any hotspots on the map or picture.

Thanks

Hi bettybetty,

Is it possible to look at the map from a different angle in the room? Is there more than one map on the wall? I don't have the game loaded, otherwise I would check for you.

Thanks but I think I might have a glitch in the game I supposed to give the Bear Walking stick to the General but it hasdisappeared from the inventory i went back to a early save regot the stick then when I got to the general it also disappeared.

Sometimes going back to a previous save will unstick you from problems with hotspots, etc. Are you close enough to a previous save that you can go back and retry the section in the study?

It isn't critical that the General gets the walking stick, I played through the whole game once without giving it to him.

I keep getting stuck inside the mansion. I want to know 3 things....I can't raise and lower the screen, I know it's not necessary but I wanna. Vera's room in wlkthru: 2 knights to protect her ??? I have all the stuff for the bees and honey, but I am stuck inside. Again I know I don't have to I don't want to miss the fun. I have my cider...I have taken my raft ride gone to both vlg's. Just don't know how to get outside ...again. I have gone back to saves twice, please tell me I don't have to do that again. I know it's impossible to tell you all I have done so I'm not sure what to say to enable you to help me.

Doris, I haven't played this game--what chapter are you on?

Hi Doris,

The "two knights" are other characters within the game who arrive on the scene.

Is there a cord attached to the screen somehow that you can pull?

A couple other ideas to get you unstuck:

When you were at the ruined village, did you pick up (and read) the Bones card by the celtic cross? Did you also pick up the fishing net?

Have you checked out the dice box on the table in the Game Room? (This can only be discovered after reading the Bones card.)
