Here's the answer to your questions:

Use the empty pistol to smash the DataLink. Use the broken glass you get on the web.

Hope that helps.

Okay I got the ornament down from the tree but what do I do with it?

Okey doke, if you look at the top of the Hints n Tips forum, you'll notice a sticky topic called "Walkthroughs". It provides links to a couple of sites full of walkthroughs for AGS games, and can be pretty useful. It can also be found by clicking here.

Secondly, if you look at the top of THIS VERY PAGE, under the banner, there's a "search" option, which, when clicked, can be used to search for your game - make sure to uncheck all forums but HnT though.

Hope that helps.

You bet, that was very helpful.

I would like to update my profile. Can someone tell me how do I include a jpeg as part of my profile when I post? (you know, the pic that comes up on the left side of the screen below users name?
Thanks :

Hello, I am still pretty new to this web site and I wondered if someone could point me in the direction. Is there a way to find hints or tips for a specific game without going through all 48 pages of posts? I just spent a good deal of time going through the entire thing and was not even able to find my game. I guess what I mean is can you run a search with the Hints and Tips page that will take you to the game you need without a lot of wasted time?

No, that should't be the problem, hmm if you did both thing than LAB-A doors should be opened....hmm :

EDIT:

Well i will try the game again, and found out if this is a bug(and fix some other bugs), somebody will rewrote whole script and remove grammar and spell errors from game, and i willÃ,  upload game as version 1.1 again...


By the way if you did that and doors for LAB-A ar not opened, you can try to walk trought the dors and enter the room as normal, because that is another bug, you can actually enter the room even if doors are closed, i will fix that in v1.1,,,

Shoots, I feel stupid. all I had to do was use the walk cursor, (the cross) on the door. What I was trying to do was use the wrench on it(pick up)
I finished the game but sorry to say was a little disappointed that the ending came so soon. I liked it so much I wanted to play longer.

Nevermind. I figured that out but now I'm stuck again.
The solution is:

Use the slingshot with the @ symbol in the room with the red-haired guy.

I'm stuck with:

I have the spider, shovel, tire, necklace, bones, cube (object), cube (money), dustbin, and Bart's book. I can't figure out how to get past the the 'cubes only' guy to Cubert the First's house.

oops, sorry I know your post is from 2004 but there is not much help on this game here. Where did you get all the items? I only have the bucket and the key and how did you get past the old man at the stop sign?

One more thing, you'll need something from that fuse box

[close]

Marie, I am confused. I used the coffee on the fuse box but what am I supposed to get. When I try to the hand icon over the fuse box there is nothing there. I thought by using the coffee on the fuse box, it would get me into the labs but I still can't.

SPILER:

You must recconect thw wires, open the vent, that is closed to the LAB-A doors, than reconnect the wires...

->you can reconect them with two nails that are sticked together, that should open lab doors

I did that already. In fact I have the wires patched together with the masking tape and the two nails. But I did this before going into the storage room where I short-circuited the fuse box with the coffee. Did I mess up? :

Wow Pestilence, i didn't think anyone would find that. I've found, that that bug doesn't happen all the time, i was trying to track down the source of it. I can't get it to happen consistently, and because you don't need it to complete the game, i left it in. I may go back and look at it, but if it causes trouble, just leave it.

Again i must say, i really appreciate all the feedback, and all the people enjoying the game. I've really gotta start the second part.

Just having a break at the moment, playing some AGS games. Finishing Unreal 2, and Quest for Glory V (i've never played it until now!)

Hello, I didn't have any trouble playing your game. I liked the graphics. I especially liked the ending with the car and how you're wondering if they have enough gas and will even be able to make the audition after all they've been through. It kind of reminded me of an old car I used to own...Piece of ----
Nice touch. I think if you manage a sequel, it will be as enjoyable or even better than the first.

SPOILER
(i forgot whats the command to hide text ) :S

Go back to that monster who killed guard, and use "wrench" tool, you will get a small KEY you can open a drawer in lab 2 , and take diary, there is password and username written in it.... you cannot get to lab 1

I really like this game. But can you help me because I thought I knew what the solution was. I am in the storage room and have short circuited the fuse box with the coffee but I still can't get into the labs. (you would think I could if I short circuited the electrical system...?) I have read the note on the door already..I'm stumped

Hmmm, it doesn't seem like you've....

found the pretzels yet.

If you just look...

I always wanted to write a hintbook =0)

Hi, I love your game and am playing it right now but I can't find those darn batteriles for the torch. Can you give me a clue. I give the bone to Max already and am looking at the opening under the house but I need light...

desimaui

Well, I'm not sure if I can actually help but I will do my best.
I am using windows xp. Heres what i did:

1) i download NOTH from this website, as well as its vox file, and put all the files in a folder called HERMIT.

2) I renamed the hermit application ac2game.dat (as Gilbot kindly pointed out) and just ran the game. It worked.

If this does not work try running the acwin program. If you have any more question just ask

Grunt2,
I have Windows XP too and thats what I thought the problem was. I have a couple of questions:
I downloaded the game from the Underdogs website and for some reason I did not get the Vox fle with it. What is this file and what does it do?
Also, you mentioned to resave the Hermit file with ac2game.dat. Do you mean renaming the file labeled, " AGS run-time engine?" (I think you do this by right clicking on the icon and selecting "rename" right?)

As soon as you get on to this website there is a link to NOTH at the side. Click on that and there should be a download and then a download mirror. The vox file contains the actual voice and is vital if you want the talkie to work (i think anyway), and can be downloaded from the mirror. The actual game can be downloaded from the other link. All the files i got where:

HERMITÃ,  ApplicationÃ,  Ã, -------------This is what i renamed ac2game.dat
ACWINÃ,  Ã, Application


RunDos
RunWin
SetupDos
SetupWin

a readme, and of course, the vox file.

Ok, I did everything as you did but cannot rename the hermit.exe file to ac2game.dat because when I try I get: "cannot rename hermit, it is being used by another person or program. close any program that might be using the file and try again." Did you rename it by right clicking on the hermit.exe file and selecting, "rename?" Or is there another way?

Where can I find QFG2 and QFG3?

HERE, of course.

Radiant, your link takes me to Ebay...Oops, I thought this was shareware?

Find the lens. It's outside in a wall.

And use the lens with?...

Marie,
I'm stuck in this game. I put the doctor to sleep but can
t get into the two doors right or left of him. I blasted the robot but have no code to get into the door with the keypad?
Help please?

I've got the record and the quitar string and the magnet and the razors.

I know where the little key is.

The razors don't work on the guy behind the pc.

In fact nothing of my items seem to interact with anything at all.

Where did you find the record and guitar string?

You don't need to actually get inside the jukebox after you've opened the cover. Ã, You need to find an inventory item to use in it, but that's at the very, very end. Ã, How far along are you?

If you mean the key on the ledge, you need to go fishing. Ã, You'll need a few inventory items before that's possible though.

Good luck, guys. Ã, I'm not sure I answered your questions, but if you need more help just ask. Ã, 

Larien,

I can't figure out what to do next. I have the magnet on the fishing pole,  the razor blades and the voodoo doll. I have opened up the jutebox but with the items I have there doesn't seem to be anything that makes sense to me. Help please?

Are all the games available off the AGS website?  And can you vote for more than one?
