Has anyone figured out how to get to Jon's mother or how to get a ball of yarn for the one cat???? I already used the blanket on the gate in the alley and got the carboard leg. I am totally stuck from there!!
Well, seems that the puzzle to get to mum's house was a hard one, but I got it from old cartoons like Looney Toons or Tom & Jerry (I feel pretty old now :P).
Spoiler
Go to the road room (the one where the mutant dog was, you must have already gotten rid of the dog), do you see that there are cars passing by all the time? Well, you need to hitch a ride, but who's gonna pick a fat cat up? They'd prefer to pick a nice girl, so use the cardboard leg with the tree...
tvcooper, did you have the bug of Garfield getting stuck in some rooms? Please tell me if you did I am trying to fix it but I can't believe I'm the only one that has it working fine.
Kairus, so glad to hear you are working on this. I love the game and keep starting over and over again in the attempt to complete the game. I am experiencing the same problems that redrum described in the other forum. Most of the sticking occurs when the screen first opens. Garfield takes only a few steps then sticks. When he is "sticking", I can Look at everything on screen, but when I choose an action such as Give or Action, then even the menu will not pop up and I have to exit the game and restart.
I had Garfield stick in a couple of unusual places, too..... such in the top of the tree after dropping the substance on the bench. He also stuck in the barn after I had made something and when I chose Walk to exit the barn.
If I try to play a saved game, it will start sticking in more of the screens that I re-enter. I have about 5 games saved that are sticking if sending to you would help. I might need help..... think that I can find the files that have the saved game data
I am needing some hints about getting beyond the last
place I was before my last "sticking"
Spoiler
I have completed the pipe puzzle, and given mother the soup ingredients. What is meant by "have Jon or his girlfriend" drop me a line"? Also, when and where is the smoke bomb used?
Kairus,
Yes I have gotten stuck several times at the park, alley, tv station, home and most recently crossing the rocks at the river. Most times when it gets "stuck" Garfield is making the walking motion but he does not move. The only thing to do is restore.
Thanks - I was able to get to Jon's mother and get the ball of yarn......nice.
But now I am at the river (without the rocks) and cannot find anyway to cross over???? Thought I could use the string but no! Any help???
tvcooper,
Spoiler
Return to barn and make a thicker "string" out of the straw. Return and use it on branch over the stream.
CittiMom,
Thanks again for that! Have you made any sense or headway with the pipes??
Tvcooper,
It took many, many, many attempts to solve the pipe puzzle. I have completed the pipe puzzle, but don't know what to do next.
In case you are not sure of how to work the pipe puzzle, here are some hints:
Spoiler
connect from the source pipe down and over to the right to the connector/converter piece, then swith to working with the red pipes and connect them over and up to set A1 and set A2. When I could not use a pipe shape, I would just place it in an empty, out of the way square
I have perservered with this game, put up with it freezing and constantly reloading it for days now.................but must now admit defeat! To solve the pipe puzzle and beat the clock at the same time is impossible!
Jane, I am in the same boat. To come this far only to be defeated over a stupid pipe game. If only you could slow everything down or could see the entire gid at once..... Does anyone have a special technique for this? :'(
Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhh - pipes! Need I say more? ::)
It almost wasn't that bad when it kept freezing - 'cos I couldn't do anything about it - but this puzzle makes me want to throw my laptop out the window :'(
Wow... calm down, guys. I didn't think this puzzle was going to be that hard. Think about this:
* Not all pipe pieces appear in the same frequency. That is, you will probably try to avoid using the horizontal green one, as it somehow doesn't come up as frequently as it was supposed to.
* Remember that when you start over the puzzle the current pipe piece changes, this can help you find a quick first pipe to add next to the source so you don't loose immediately. Try to find a horizontal green one, which as said before are not too likely. From then on the other pieces have useful probabilities of coming, that doesn't mean they will all suit, but it shouldn't take too many tries to create a nice path.
* Keep in your memory the amount of clicks you must do in order to get from one side of the grid to another one so you can do it faster when the time comes. Keep also in mind where the correct exits from the grid are so as not to make a wrong path that you can't improve on time. (The right exits are SET A1 and SET A2, but I believe you noticed it :) ) I mean you should remember things like: "I have to add a horizontal red one to the east of the bifurcation and then a west-north elbow pipe next to it and then a lot of vertical pipes to the north until I find the exit".
* Don't expect for pieces to come in order, so in the previous example if you have a burst of eight vertical red pipes you should locate them in their right places and then when the other pieces come start connecting the rest of the path so it makes sense. Keeping in mind what it should look like in the end will help you locating the correct pieces in the correct places more quickly.
* Switch to the red pipes just as soon as you finish making a good green path to the bifurcation. You should finish the green path quickly to have enought time to make the other one.
Hope it helps. :)
I've used the scissors on the sealed box from fridge but everytime I 'action' it the game exits. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.I don't seem to be able to 'action' anything at this point as everything I try exits the game
Aaaarrggggghhhhhhhh! I finally managed to complete pipe puzzle............but then it freezes again! I thought never mind I had saved it..............but guess what..........everytime I load it and try to get out of room - yep it freezes. >:( >:( >:( >:(
So do I try to complete the puzzle again in the hope that I can this time get out of the room?
Some people said they could avoid the getting stuck bug by uncrompessing the file again over the old folder. Try doing that while keeping your saved games and see if it works. That strange bug has never happened to me and I have no idea why it happens to other people
The only way I could get rid of the sticking bug was to delete everything and then reinstall! But also I think I knew what to do up to that point with the shortest number of moves - when I first started the game I was exploring!
Still having some problems with the pipe puzzle - do I just have to get from the source to set a1 & a2? Does it matter where they are? Although I think my biggest problem is the timing - just can't do it fast enough :'(
I can't do the pipe puzzle - I'm crap at it! :-[
Spoiler
the only way I could do it, was draw the grid out - 8 squares across by 10 down. Then imagine where your pipes will go from source to A1 and A2...............then just go for it......worked for me the second time of trying it, just found you needed to get the correct pipe to strt of with at the beginning for a quicker start.............dump all the shapes you can't use in the spare squares...............don't forget there aren't many of the vertical large pipes so make sure you use them - stick them on the middle connector if the appear
Jane, after reading the hints listed here I still can't figure out this puzzle. Is the object to get from A1 to A2 and where is A1 and A2? Is it from right to left, top to bottom? Its not like there is a hot spot that says A1 and A2. Help please, I've been at this for over an hour. >:(
Desi, Believe it or not I was stuck at the pipe game since last July lol. The only way I could get past it was to use the saved game that was posted here.
Have you seen this thread? Read it.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=18849.0
Joyce, when I try to use the link for the saved game I get the same thing you did: a blank white page. Is there any chance you can email the saved game if you still have it? This pipe puzzle is driving me crazy you know :P
Desi
Right click on the link and "save target as"
But check your email I sent you my saved game just in case this doesn't work for you either.
Yep it worked okay.
Please can anyone tell me where to get the glue so I can get the mans hat??? thank you
Tina

at yuck tv,in the things over the receptionist's desk, there is a bottle of glue there
Hi, i have lost my way a bit here i have the cardboard leg, and have brought the lasagne but he wont give it to the cat in alley it says its not cooked, what do i do to it and i cant do the pipe puzzle it says why should i. do i need to do other things first, ive got smoke bomb but cant use it anywhere please help me thanks
Spoiler
lasagna - you have to look at the box and get all the ingredients and go back to the kitchen where he will cook it.
cardboard leg - you need that to hitch a ride to the farm
pipe puzzle - sorry can't help you with this one, i was stuck at this for months then somebody posted a saved game in this thread, that was the only way i could get passed this one. Not sure why it won't let you do it though.
There is a walkthrough here maybe that would help you more

In order to be able to do the pipes puzzle you must have been to the main set (where Binky the clown is) and so Garfield will see the roof has an anti-fire system; you must also LOOK AT the computer terminal in the upper floor so Garfield realizes it can be used to control the anti-fire system. It doesn't matter in what order you do it but you must do both things. After that you INTERACT with the computer terminal and you'll be able to do the puzzle.
I cant do pipes, i admit i cheated and used the saved version, but now i am stuck, it doesnt seem to have done anything it just says done when i interact again, can anyone help me thanks for your help already
If you used the save game for the pipe puzzle, even though you don't see anything - it is done, especially if you have interacted with it and it says its done. Now the only drawback in using the saved game is that some of the other stuff that you had already done is not done in this saved game. You will have to look in your inventory and try and figure out what you haven't done. It was the same for me, I had to do most of the things over again. The person that did the saved game just did the basic stuff then went to the pipe game just to get me over that part because I couldn't for the life of me do that pipe puzzle. I was stuck there for months. Even though the saved game did not have all the stuff done that I had previously done, I was so grateful to get past the pipe game and it didn't take me long to figure out all the stuff I had to do again. Good Luck
thanks joyce, i have caught up and done all the stuff i should do i am stuck now i cant get the ball of wool for the cat in park, and I cant do anything at the outskirts till i get rid of the mutuant first can you help me am i missing something obvious but not to me thanks
Tina
Spoiler
for the mutant on the outskirts of town you need to throw a stick and he will go after it, not sure if you have the stick (you get that in the yard outside your house) Then you have to make your way by hitchhiking into the country.
Okay the ball of wool, you may have seen some mutants playng with a ball of wool but this is not the one you have to get. Go to Liz's office, move stool, climb on it (action) open the cupboard door (action) use the doors to pick up "medical stuff" He will pick up a ball of cotton. Climb down from stool by using action on stool.
You have to turn the ball of cotton into wool which you will be able to do once you are in the country, after you have passed the mutant on the outskirts of town. There is a barn there with a kind of weaving machine, you have to set it up by doing this 1. set the machine for cotton - thick, then use cotton on machine and you will get wool.
Hope I explained this okay.
You also have to get soup from Jons mother which is something else you have to do once you have passed the outskirts of town.
thats brilliant thanks Joyce
You will also need garfields blanket off his bed to go to the alley and fly with it above the whole to get to a sign and use sisscors from jons house to cut a piece out and use the piece by the tree near the road to stop a car so you can catch a ride
*phew!*
Just found the game on the-underdogs.org and spent 3½ hours completing it (had to use a single hint, though - that's how I found this page)... just wanted to say nice work mate ;D
