Title: Dance Till You Drop (Richard Simmons)
Post by: Rosie on Wed 27/07/2005 03:38:48
Downloaded larger version of this game.  Talked to agent on phone, talked to 2 customers, put music on, unlocked my dance feet, NOW WHAT?  Nothing is happening.....Any clues?  I know the maker of this game said not to ask any questions, but I get the barbells and give them to Richard and nothing happens.    Anyway, I called the agent and he is not helping out either. 
Anyone else having these problems?

Actually, I said not to direct any questions to me; it's your choice if you decide to ask elsewhere for hints, but I strongly recommend you puzzle your way through it, games are so much rewarding when you've gotten through without outside help.

Seems like Trish put you on the right track, so get in there and Dance Til' You Drop!

Now I'm stuck. I can't figure out the combination to the safe. I know it has to do with the calendar on the wall and I've figured out that Richard Simmon's actual birthday is July 12 (so the calendar/game is dated two years ago?) and he says he'll be 36 on the second Thursday of July. I can't seem to get the right combination of numbers. Anyone?

Progzmax, I wasn't directing any questions to you (as you so requested), but this is called hints and tips forum and luckily this is where we can come when we have tried everything that we thought to do and cannot come up with the solution without going beserk.  Thank God for this forum.......I do like playing the game to my capabilities, but when stuck, it is nice to ask a Friend in here and so I am asking help elsewhere (here)

Thank you Trish for your help in this problem and I hope someone answers your question also.  If I get that far, I may be able to help you.

Hint:

Spoiler
You're on the right track. The combination is Richard Simmons's birthday. You're supposed to figure out the year from his age.

Solution:

Spoiler
7 12 48 (At least, that's what it was in the first version. I imagine it would still be the same.)

July is the seventh month.

And Richard Simmon's actual birthday is on July 12. The game takes place on the year 1984

Ã,  Ã,  1984
Ã,  Ã, -Ã,  Ã, 36
______
= 1948 (the year Richard Simmon was born)

7/12/48Ã,  Yes that makes correct sense to me.

Ok I got it now. I didn't figured this out until I saw the year when I restarted the game again.

Finished this game with either 215 points or 275 points, not sure which as the font was a bit blurry. According to the review at the end I was able to keep the dance studio open but you must be able to get more points because it said I could have done better. lol
