Here is my problem. I can't find the old guy with his hint of if I do I get squirted and die. If I kill a certain charactor with a key I go right to the queen and cant use the hint as I never get to the old guy. Also, I don't speak spider.

Man if you're this badly stuck now, Contractual Obligation will be like hell for you! (Seriously, why does everyone complain about Hypertrout and never about CO? I'm stuck on CO right now, and I already completed it once before!)

And as for your multiple problems

And as for the bookmark problem, I use Google Chrome so I can't speak from experience, but I found this page on Google which might help. I'll copy and paste what it said in the next post.

I thank you for the bookmark info. I do that all the time but it is called favorites. I didn't know it saves the page as it is. I thought it just saved the web site. It works great! Boy, what a time saver. Now I am in "Crate and keep getting to the airport and the kid. I die. I know I am missing something. How about a little hint? I haven't used the data pad or the other data thing or the goop in the jar. It must be there for somthing... I have had a beard and not and got a stat bump. I must be missing something. Am I exeting the building after I run from the bot-dogs?
thanks a bunch.Walker

Hey, I posted all that info!! Anyway, I got stuck on this exact same part too. TGC requires you to take a strict path through the book. if you have the goop in the jar, you made the wrong choices on the ship in the beginning. You're supposed to be escaping by yourself. When you escape the ship, you should have a blaster, a strait jacket, and a microchip. You can get the data square and tablet again before reaching the city. Just find the crashed ship. You NEED the tablet & square to win.

And, because you might need to know later, choose to stow away once you get the crate. You'll need to open it.

Wrong Way Go Back

@ Ulysses:

about 'wrong way go back' in section 42 you have to add some numbers to go to the right section, in the game i use an inputbox, it would be nice if after every try we lose some seconds. It isn't like that in the gamebook, may i add this to the game and - if i may do so - how many seconds would you substract every time?

For all of the time penalties I tried to make them realistic.
So to take 2 objects out of your pockets and try them in combination should only take 10 seconds at most.

The adding of numbers from the names of the objects is the only way to make this work in a text gamebook. I'm not sure what you are intending, but it would be nicer if you could just select the two objects without having to use the relatively clumsy method of adding numbers from the names.

@Walker

The problem with your questions are that you are all over the place chronologically and your descriptions of your actions don't let us know if you have done critical tasks or not.

In every section of the game: Golden Stream, Jungle, Shipwreck, Town, Supertrain, Projudia, A13 Spaceport, Flight, A12 Spaceport, A12 Palace; there is something that needs to be done for success.

C-Star mentioned previously everything you need to do on the Golden Stream, namely:

Wrong Way Go Back

@ Ulysses:

There are 2 sections where you can enter a number and you lose some time (39 and 57) and 2 sections where you don't lose time (42 and 54), it's the last 2 i want to add 10 secs or so each time, else you just try every location till the computer say's correct.
Good idea with the numbers added in the items you find, but indeed it would be better to select some things out of your inventory by just clicking on them in the game.
Thanks for the help! :-)

Greetings,

thanks for ignoring me all the years on each request. Newest Plan: We have several open-ended Interactive (that's much like fighting fantasy just online) rpg themes at http://www.writing.com. 4 of them allow anybody to continue writing them. All of you are invited to try, just like anybody else.

Vampire The Masquerade - Path of Darkness is for 5 different characters (that's like five ff-books in one).

Bloodhunt is for 5 vampire hunters in 5 different ages, ancient rome to sci-fi

Star Wars Episode 3,5 is the 18 years between the old and new films. A lot of characters to write into victory or certain death.

Sword and Sorcery... sorry, I forgot.

Sorry for eventual typos.

Oh and yes, it must be a conspiracy or worse which makes me sign this guestbook.

My regards

AMP

Beggars of Blacksand and the Mysterious Case of Bodies in the Docks were really good works!

Hi, Well I'll try to get this in order I get to the secret place and go back. I kill the Captain and land. I get the 3 color button control and get the stuff from the safe. I go up one level with the Lumberjacks. I get more training in whip. I get on the train and beat the woman then the guy. Now i am supposed to know about the trick compartment. But, how do I open it and not get the crate behind the fense? This is such a great game. Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what your problem is. And since my laptop is in repairs and the books don't work too well on this phone, I can't check. So i'll just guess.

Yeah I just didn't want to be TOO specific, solving that puzzle was one of the most satisfying parts of the game for me! And one more thing you may have problems with (I know I did).
