Title: Perils of Poom
Post by: rtf on Sat 08/05/2004 22:30:45
Perils of Poom.

I have the mask and phone.  This is what I did:
Spoiler

I used the stinkbomb to try and gas the queue away, but he said that it was too far from the queue for them to smell it.

So then I looked at the walkthough and it said to use the poster on the vent first.

What do I do now?  I can't get another bomb, and nothing happens when I put the poster up.  ??? ???

Dear Releasethefrogs:

Sorry, but I don't know yet how to hide text.Ã,  :-[

You must reload a saved game - and, if you don't have any, restart - I think they're the only ways, as I'm sure the kid won't sell you another one - but try that, anyway.

Did you find the complete walkthru?
Thanx hearing that, I was going to replay the entire game in order to write a walkthru to post at http://www.agagames/agswalkthrus
Why don't you post it there, please?

I don't think I am stuck like that, I am sure that someone must have come across it in the beta stage (It would be a common mistake)  :-\

But the walkthrough is at www.agshints.tk

Oh yeah, to hide text do this:

   [*hide]Hidden text Here[/*hide]

Take out the *s, and you are all set

Hi again, Releasethefrogs!

:-[ Well, I did the most common forum mistake: ask first, search later... I just searched on the site I placed. Thanks for your correction. I know "yours" too, but with anotherÃ,  url: http://www.agagames.com/AGSwalks/

And thanks a lot for the hidden command:
Spoiler

I even tried to use code I got from the html source code, but no way: <div class="spoiler">spoiler text </div>
[close]
Now I can help stuck people, too,Ã,  :D

Hey, guys. You dont have to reload. Just take another card from the guy at the food place and sell that to the kid again. Been a while, but I'm pretty sure I remember coding that.

Hi, M!

Thanks for the hot hint! I didn't really know it could be done that way! It's that I've already deleted the saved games, and have been too occupied to start it again!  :)

There is a point in the game where I planted a seed on the coaster and a check mark appeared.....what was the meaning behind that??? is it an easter egg or something??

THe worm attacks different areas of the room in the same sequence every time. Each time you try you can figure out at least one more step of the combination. You've got to move your guy anywhere but the place the worm will hit, before he hits. There are three different areas of the cave, the hotspots are named. I think it's upper cave, middle cave and lower cave.

Try the first rule of adventure gaming: when stuck, use everything on everything.
If it's not clear enough, select the spoiler.

you have to use the coin on the vent

When you use the coin on the vent it should remove the vent, then you can get the key from inside.
