Title: Outbreak
Post by: speelteveel on Tue 20/02/2007 20:54:16
I can't unlock the computer. I tried to enter the code that prof. Roger gave me by clicking the letters in that order. Is this the right code and/or way to enter? ???

Same problem for me
Spoiler

I found the serum and also asked for the code. There is also a piece of paper with codes on it. Tried the lines, then all lines before pressing the unlock button, Rogers password and lines and lines and password from Roger. Also changed T <> A and C <> G, no success. Anyway, I found it difficult to dig into the story, even though I advanced quickly at first and all the other puzzles seemed obvious to me.

 :o Where did you find the serum? I haven't even fixed a ladder yet, do I need this to get the serum? And still no luck with the code... :P

collect the sticks and the stone in the room where Roger is (they magically appear during the game) and find the rope in the first room. The rope is hidden behind the computer racks, at the left side. Go first down in the screen and left, then up and left again. Combine the sticks and the ladder. Throw the rock at the loose grate in the ceiling in the computer room.

there are some hints on the paper, so if it is correctÃ,  (as you read in book-combination of ATGC) it has to be ATGTCT, it is only my opinion, im not there yet cause cannot find sticks

I also tried this code. Either it is much more obvious or this it is really a weird puzzle.

The hints say

Collect the SPACE SUIT behind the table where Sally lies dead.

Where is it? I can't find it. Does it mean

behind Sally's table, or behind the table behind Sally?

Oh, I've read some more of the hints. The hotspot (in empty space) is not at all obvious. If you have to tell people how to solve your puzzle, is it really a fair one?

Anyway, on with the game...

There are no hotspots for the rope and suit. In the first room, walk around and klick around with the eye icon and the hand icon. I can't describe better than that.

Sticks and stone: I can't remember, but I think as soon as you have distracted the guard with the machine gun, you can go back to the room where Roger is (not the game character that you control, but the guy in the rightmost room from the lab where the game starts) and then you can pick up these items.

get the red wire from the computer, use knife on black wire that goes to the loudspeaker at the right, use red wire on loudspeaker, then on hole, then connect wire, use red wire on other side of the door and use microphone on red wire and talk into microphone.

Has anybody been able to find the correct password for the computer?

By the way,

How do you get the password from Dr. Roger? He disappeared after I got the serum and I can't find him anywhere.

Blashyrkh, thats true, he disappears. So you need to talk to him before you find the serum. Although, his code doesn't work. Maybe it needs altering, maybe it's a red herring. The code he gave me was

Still lost...

I think you're right about the red herring. The hints file mentions that the "true password" is "hidden in front of your eyes."

I've tried one of the many ways of writing what's on the poster: ATTA GCCG TATA to no avail. I'm not trying each possible combination from each poster, either.
I also hope the password isn't 191 Cs, which is mentioned in the computer's POST routine's output: on=(191Cs), because i'm not typing them. 0x11 (17), ch 32 (a space) and 0xa4 (164) don't tell me much, either.

I also tried thinking of less literal meanings for "in front of your eyes..." The heads on the roof don't yield any information, nor did trying to play with the suit's helmet.

Anyone found out if the hole in the wall serves any purpose?

This game needs one more megabyte memory.

How do I get access to the main lab computer? I've done all the other things and found the serum in the attic above the computer room, but nothing happens when I try to click on the posters in the corridor outside the library. Does anybody know what I must do next? ???. ???.
