You mean that the assistant is still with her?

Then you need to use the console on the left under the shaft you came out of.
Lift Troy and the assistant will go looking for her.

Yep... don't. Go see the doctor.

I'm looking for Billy B. Star and the Lapaset Travel Quest. It was a MAGS game in May 2006 by JetXL and is not on the (former) bicylce server, nor on the Hrej repository.

JetXL doesn't seem to have it anymore so who has it still on the harddisk or on a backup disk somewhere in the back of the wardrobe?

In Episode 1. Aside from leaving the stuff as inventory options in the game you did nothing wrong. I used a program called Art Money to change the values in the games memory adresses while running and then saved the game with the changed values after doing so.

What's the use of that? Hacking binaries to win a game? Just for fun? It has at least nothing to do with the game. And then telling the author that the game crashes because you tampered with it? Strange behaviour....

It's the same as saying to the soda-producer: Your fizzy drink has a strange taste..... I see you put water in it  and now I've boiled it.

You can get the same results with your operating system you know.... open your kernel.exe, find a nice value and change it..... I can predict the outcome, if your machine is still running. And please.... tell the author! They'd be thrilled to know... really!

Apparently I let the year change pass me unnoticed, as usual.

Were you in a hospital for that long?   

The problem is only the abilities. When you can both do the same, it will become a hunt for the .. (whatever object you need to collect). Another issue would be the overview. You then need to see at all times what each is carrying. I'm talking about the adventure games, not rpg or rts. When you disable characters, you force them to cooperate.

I think Maniac Mansion would be a nice example because only one of them could be working out and thus open the grate to the basement. But you'd have to define the abilities more to prevent the game from becoming a hunting game instead of adventuring. But it should be feasible.

You could create a multi-player Nanobots where each player is a bot with it's (dis)abilities. You could only give object to others, not take so you need to discuss. So I could imagine a combination of adventure/chat functions on each character. Talking to another character would open a textscreen so you can type.

There would be a limited number of players and you can only play if all players are present but then again, you can start multiple instances yourself to fill up the blanks. But that wouldn't be as much fun of course. If you want to play with fewer players than default you could give the missing abilities to the players present. So in the end you can play alone with all abilities or play together with 1 per character.

I can imagine one of them can pick up/move objects. So when you find something, you need to inform the other to pick something up etc..  It's colaborating and communicating.

It would be nice to get some identifier to your character because it took me a while to find out which Larry I was... 
Not my cuppa but hey, it's free. When you really want to get the retro feel goto this site to play Police Quest or any other game if you like. This site has been around for ages so no worries it will be shutdown shortly... 

Great tip there, Kastchey. I'll change that in the walktrough.

Wendy,

How do you know that they are there? Did you talk to Sue? What did she say? Did you read your email?

Back the way you came... almost.

Alusa,

Use the rock (stick) on the skylight (roof) of the elevator to smash it.

Congratulations! Will check it out later today.

It's got lots of nudity, some sexual bits, loads of gender swapping and even some humour too; So if any of these things offend (especially the last one), or you're a little on the young side (under 18) then this probably isn't for you (but you can use your own discretion).

I don't care about nudity, sexual bits or gender swapping, but I can't stand humour!!!   

Yeah, I just found out. Are you playing in 320x240? If so, I noticed you can't enter it completely. You can try switching to 640x480 to see if this solves the problem. I'm affraid you then have to restart though.

Alrightie......    :o :

This is something I have never seen before. I've been able to reproduce your problem...

It seems to be the resolution.... starting a game in 320x240 results in the problem. I started a new game in 320 and couldn't enter more than 5 digits. Then I started a game in 640x480 and there was no problem. All was in windowed mode since my screen wouldn't allow 320 in full mode.

So the conclusion is that it is the check on password. Could it be that the contents of the box is checked for correctness based on the screen location (position of the cursor) instead of real content of the input box?

What are you trying to type then? And... (just to be sure) are you playing on a laptop?

Two options: I can send you one with the password disabled from the beginning (but then you need to start again) or you send me your game and I'll enter it for you. Then I can also have a look wether it's in the game (of which I'm convinced it's not).

Intense:

My mistake, it was Colin talking to Margaret. When he's got his assignment from Larry to get the new files. Talking to Margaret: Larry said there were some more reports for me to loook at.

Reading back, you're right. He already got that far. But then there aren't thousands of posibilities and with a bit of try and error the solution should be easily found. Probably after try 23...

And to correct my previous response... it's 10.000 possible combinations because you don't know that there might be a number repeated...
