AGS has built-in support for OGG, so I prefer OGG.

Yes, sir.

works fine when placing it in the room_AfterFadeIn function

@Peter:

Spoiler

walk as far south as you can from the first pillar, then stand behind the hedge on the left until you can only see half of the numerals on the pillar.
If you use the Look cursor on it from this angle, Thalia should be able to figure out what the numerals are.

Count me +1 (my GF) as interested

It did help on a couple of bits I'd missed mate! 

Thanks arj0n, I've now managed to finish the game & couldn't have done it without your help!

Glad it did help you both out after all

Besides finishing up 2 project of myself, I also do need to find some spare time to play the new version of DocApoc

Note that Arjon's walkthrough is out of date in a few areas (play the new version dude!)

I'm aware of that, Mark. Haven't had the time to play the new version yet...
Hoped this WT would help them out, but apparently it didn't...

CaptainD, did you use the transistor-radio on lewis so he hears a broadcast of the Resistance Radio, a rebel-group with Jack 'Long-Tongue' as spokesman?

Thanks again arj0n for your reply - it's very much appreciated! Something's not working out for me here or I'm doing the wrong thing?

Hey Ciara.
Sorry, I left out a part because I thought you had figure that part out already. Maybe you overlooked something

I don't seem to be able to look at the drawing to see those columns?

The drawing is the key which is added to your inventory after using the notebook (found in the small bag) on Beth.
You should be able to look at this inventory item.

Where is the strange structure? - is there an area I've missed? I'm completely lost?

The strange structure is that strange machine, left of the screen in the room which entrance was blocked with laserbeams.
And no, you're not completely lost, just stuck, a little bit

So below is the part that probably contains something you might have missed.
This point starts when you arrive in Area 51.
