can it work with 256 colours and not just change an image to 256 colours then block out all the options that only work with high colour?

Unfortunatly the program only works with high colour images. But to make 256 sprites and backgrounds you could make your drawing in Pixia using the multiple layers to help with drawing and then save your sprite or background as a bitmap file and copy it to paint to convert it to 256 colours.

Great game man!

The GUI must have taken ages to make!
I have to agree with Nostradamus on some of the puzzles but overall it is a great game.  8)

Who comes up with these annoying jokes?  

I was recently looking all over the internet for a freeware drawing tool that supported multiple layers as I can't draw sprites that well. After a couple of hours I found this program called Pixia it has plenty of features and is free. Here is a link.

There are also a lot of plugins and tutorials featured on the site.  8)

I also agree with not reading the walkthrough as when you do you always seem to get a sense of guilt because you cheated on a puzzle.

My tip is always look around the rooms carefully. You might suddenly spot something you haven't seen before.  8)

Cool!  The music definately worked.  Is Fred really a sailor?  

Fred is a sailor who was arrested after a fight outside a bar.  8)

This game is a one room puzzle that I completed in a few minutes. It only has one puzzle but it can be either easy or hard depending on how much you look around the room. I would like some feedback on how to improve graphics or any ideas you might have to improve any part of the game.

I will post information on my next game called P.I Joe when I have drawn my second room.

I call myself PeaceMan because I like 60's and 70' music. 8)

Homer: So you tried and you failed. The lesson is never try.  

I don't mind if Lucasarts decide to include some action elements into Full Throttle 2 because it seems a bit pointless to have a game about bikers and not even have control of the bike or not have a fight sequence. as long as the game is a bit longer this time it should be great. The only thing that concerns me is the 3D graphics because they look too blocky just like in EFMI. I think it should stay 2D just like CMI. 8)

StS 1 and 2 were both great but I found StS 1 a bit boring because you spent a long time walking around trying to find places on the map. The pirate ship on simon 2 however was great.
