GREAT GAME.........

Flocking

Spoiler

You're good....you've gotten so far...how did you get into the captains place? and as far as playing that game, I cant seem to master it.... Also glasses? poets poem? I dont even see those. I know I have to distract the gift shop owner so I can look into the computer, but when I shoplift something, it doesnt give me enough time to do anything. Somehow I know I have to put sleeping pills in food, but the pills need liquid and I am not finding a way to do that. You also joined the club? and got trumpet player to play? I dont see a trumpet player in the band. WOW........ By the way, do you have the poisoned dart that was shot at the queen in restaurant? I need help here..... Thank you

Rosie, the story path you've taken is different from the one Flocking took. (There are four different paths that lead to their own separate endings.) That means that the puzzles you have to solve do not relate to the ones he/she has to solve.

Spoiler

You should try and do something so that Chico won't come back into the gift shop when he chases you after you shoplift. Maybe if you could somehow make him slip and fall...

Thank you so much......... You have created a really great game....I am having a good time playing it.....Do you mind us coming in here for hints and tips, since we cant go into the ags hints forum. I did what you told me to do, but unfortunately I am stuck again. I have degree, potato chip, sleeping pills, vacumn, chef-o-matic, motivation book, poison dart, bobby pin, board, scissors, dagger, torn clothes, fish keychain, poem, delicious food, disgusting food. I have to find Iggy, who I think must be that kid playing the games. He told me how to get more points, but I have not gotten the 100, only 10 points in the game and lose all the time> Is winning the game important? Must I win at the game to get some info from the kids?
Any help would be appreciated.... Thank you. By the way, I also downloaded your other game Cubert and cant wait to play that also.

Sure, come in here for hints all you want! (Unless, of course, someone deems it necessary for me to move to the AGS hints forum...)

Spoiler

Yes, you need to beat the arcade game. If you lose enough times, the kids in the arcade will give you hints.

I'll be very honest with you. We have all been waiting for a game to play and I am sorry that the other players in ags will not find out about this game. I for one was told about it, this is not a forum that I explore to see if there are any games, I usually go into completed games or games in progress like most of the ags players do. What is the big deal if you didnt use an ags engine?

You created a great game and it should be told about...... Wait I have an idea..... I could announce it in hints and tips and let the other players be aware of this game. that has been done before......Do you mind me doing that?

This game should not be hidden, it is too good.....

New question:

Spoiler

I cant find the receptionist......I have been wandering from floor to floor. Any hints on what to do next.....

Then you should get a new habit! You should get out more, and start visiting AD or the underground forum of Adventure Gamers. Then you won't miss the good non-AGS games anymore. (Such as TGTTPOACS and my game.Ã,Â

)

And a hint for you:

Spoiler

She has not gone far. Use a "special" action that have been of little use before.[/hide

Thank you, but that hint is too subtle, I dont understand......More please.....
Frasse and the Peas of Kejick Was FANTASTIC.........Loved it.....
I do get out to the other sites, but missed this one........Thanks for such a great game/////

The Inquisitive Stranger · Sun 19/03/2006 03:03:15

Spoiler

Remember when you were examining that poisoned dart for clues? It had a rather distinctive smell to it, don't you think?

Rosie · Sun 19/03/2006 04:36:18

Finished game.... Thank you

Spoiler

Funny how I went around the whole ship smelling everyone, when the "thing" was right there in front of me..........And then I tried everything to get past the vulture and all I had to do was walk past her....Very smart of you....
Anyway, it was a great game............Will highly recommend it to all.

Now there's three more paths through the game to play, if you haven't already done so!

flocking · Mon 20/03/2006 09:21:17

Rosie - the path you took is COMPLETELY different to the one im playing - you should try having a go at another path.....unfortunately im still stuck though!

Spoiler

I cant get back into the 'posh' restaurant to get a desert......ive picked up some clothes from somewhere, do i have to make a disguise or something ? Am i on the right path, or any other hints you can give me please ?

flocking · Mon 20/03/2006 10:01:04

Edit to the above;

Spoiler

I now have the pie, but i have to 'stop the water flowing' etc - i take it i have to stop the fountain working ? If so how ?! I really cant work it out.....

The Inquisitive Stranger · Mon 20/03/2006 20:16:11

Spoiler

Nah, just getting the water out of the fountain would work just fine. I believe there's something in your room that might be able to help you.

great game. i have played trum's game as well, and it seems in both games everything is really slow on scrolling backgrounds, and new areas take quite some time to load. is that sludge's fault?

and is there a website where i can see other sludge games?

The Inquisitive Stranger · Mon 20/03/2006 22:25:07

Perhaps. And try this site for other SLUDGE games. Particularly, I recommend Nathan's Second Chance (as well as Out of Order and my own Cubert Badbone, P.I., if you haven't already played them).

Mordalles · Tue 21/03/2006 00:33:02

thanks for the link! haven't played any of those games, except the interview and frasse.
but i will now!

Rosie · Tue 21/03/2006 01:27:02

Just got done playing Cubert Badbone........ Really Great Game.....Enjoyed it very much. Now I will play TGTTPOACS and see what other endings I can get different from the one I played.

It's due to the antialiasing, which requires a somewhat powerful computer to run well. In my game, I added an option to turn off "special effects" for that reason. If you do that, the system requirements are quite modest. It should run decently on a 233 MHz processor. You can also turn off anti-aliasing in any Sludge game by creating an ini-file, but I'll let Deirda explain that one, if you want to to that with TGTTPOACS. (Don't want to hijack her thread.)

Rosie · Tue 21/03/2006 22:45:48

Played Nathan's Second Chance. Great game......... Have also played Out of Order some time ago...... Also Excellent.
