Ok got ya My finger hurts from clicking like crazy on the hotspot at that screen but I will keep trying.

karelimur · Mon 27/12/2004 00:24:51

did you also tell the frenchman your real name when he asks you? I think this may be a way to get you to where you need to be.

Joyce · Mon 27/12/2004 00:33:30

Yes told him my real name. I did what you told me

Spoiler

and I now have the tobacco and first piece of map. Did I pick you up wrong, did you loose your flag because mine is still in my inventory. This game is very frustrating especially as he walks sooo slow. I did the british guy first this time then went to french man, talked to him, picked up the flag and left the screen with no problem this time, maybe there is a bug in the game, who knows.

Well I made the mistake of going back to french man again trying to figure out what to do next and am stuck again trying to leave the screen, there is definitely a bug of some sort. Did you try and pick up the small picture on the wall of french mans house and it says No not now, and if you look at it you get a close up. Can't figure that one out at all but anyway I am stuck trying to get out of screen and I am fed up trying this time. so good luck Maybe I will give it another shot when I am not so frustrated especially when you start game you have to listen to all that with his dying father, can't see any way of avoiding that. anyway good luck, maybe i will give it another shot when i am not so frustrated[/spoiler]

Joyce,
Spoiler
The tobacco comes from the prisoner pirate also

I've tried giving it to everyone.

how do you start the game without having to see the whole beginning again. I have tried F5,F7 Tab, Enter, Esc. nothing seems to work. I just want to go to reload but it makes me go all the way through until I get to the pier.
Thank you

Hi Rosie
Yep that is one of the things I was complaining about, having to go through all the scenes with the dying father, starting game, cause ya can't even reload from the screen of the island even though it has a reload written right there, you have to wait till priest stops talking etc before you can reload, so sorry I can't help you. I was so proud of myself for getting as far as I did only to keep getting stuck in one screen on sleepy island and not being able to walk out of it, I gave it a rest for a while. Of course I was stuck with what to do next as well lol, but the getting stuck through no fault of mine is the frustrating part.

Yes, this game has many bugs.....Did what you told me to do about blowing whistle over the water, he called out for some of his friends, but then nothing happened. I am going to try to see if the author has an email so I can find out about the bugs in this game. Thanks for your help.

I agree with you guys. This game is really frustrating. I'm at the same spot as most of you. Can't figure out what to do with the French guy.

Joyce · Mon 27/12/2004 23:55:55

Potch

Are you having any problems leaving the screen where the french guy is? I can't go any further because I can't get out of there.

::)I'm on a floating piece of the ship with a Captain's whistle, a map , his knife, a dirty rag ( he blew into it) and some oil. Can't reach the broken mast or leaky pail. Help. Jacquie C.

Jacquie and Rosie,

Spoiler

I just thought of something, you've probably done it already,but just in case you haven't - Ã,Â when you opened the captains box you got a whistle and a piece of paper, think I had to scroll down in inventory before I saw it, maybe you have to read the piece of paper before the whistle will work properly. I did get past that part after blowing the whistle numerous times and I think it finally worked when I put it over the ocean in the bottom part somewhere, an animal of some sort pops his head out and you can talk to him and he finally helps you.

If you get past this then you will be able to join the rest of the "stuck" club in the next part lol.

I just left a message on the completed games forum to tell the creator to get over to hints and tips and see the problems we are having. maybe he can sort us out.

Im terribly terribly sorry for all yo problems! I didnt know. I know this games has a lot o bugs, but nuthin is perfect. Really sorry, but now:

- To skip the first animation:

Sorry...

- To get away from the floating slag:

Open captains box and use whistle: first on the upper left of the screen, than upper right, lower right and finally lower left.

- To get the cutlass from the rock:

Use knife first...

- To walk away the screen:

didnt know about this problem.

- To drink the englishman:

You have to find these ingredients: kreecha juice, mud, oil, another liquid (try to clean your nose). Btw. have you found Mr. Creek? If not, use your eyes.

Once again - sorry bout that everything. I just tried to do a good game, but I failed. Sorry.

maggie · Tue 28/12/2004 14:23:03

Spoiler

have managed to get out of the frenchman scene by blowing nose on rag. but how do I find Mr Creek? Have seen red eyes in cave but can't do anything with them.
Also I.m geuessing I need to do something with the strange green fruit but what?

Best · Tue 28/12/2004 14:32:36

You will find Mr. Creek by looking around the Mr. Creek board. (use eyes).

Potch · Tue 28/12/2004 16:08:15

Joyce, I got that leaving the screen problem once, but I just talked to the Frenchman again, and it let me leave. It gets annoying because you can just say the same thing over and over, but at least I could leave.

Ok, I talked to Mr. Creek, and it really got me nowhere.
