I remember having the same problem (trying to pick up the matches) Kept clicking and clicking and nothing happened. Eventually it did work.Ã,  You need to talk to that girl in the room and did you visit the bathroom in the other room that had that man rambling to himself???Ã,  Maybe that's what you have to do first. (?)

Rosie, okay you might be right. But where do I find the room with the girl? I did find the room with the wierdo in it which is next to the office, but the other room, where is it. Is it hard to see?

What exactly is the problrm you are having with the Obe marble? Maybe I can help. :

Just rename hermit.exe to ac2game.dat (as I had told you) and run acwin.exe, it should work.

Yep, just as you said to...

Gilbot, I'm sorry but I don't understand how changing the name of a file is going to solve my problem. But I did as you suggested anyway. Thanks for your help but it did not work. I think the problem is with my operating system then because I do have Windows XP. Does this mean I can't play the game?

Joyce, how did I miss that net?  Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. Did you ever make it to chapter 6?  I can't seem to pickup the matches. Her hands are tied so she has to use her mouth. No matter where I click on the matches nothing happens. You've been such a great help before maybe yu can be again.

Hey you guys on this forum are great for trying to help mw out with this...
Okay I still can't play Night of the Hermit.
I tried starting over and downloading the whole thing again. Here is a list of the files I get when I unzip the compressed game file.
ACWIN.EXE  (this is the application)
Hermit.exe
Readme.txt
RunDos.bat
RunWin.bat
SetupDos.bat
SetupWin.bat
Speech.vox

Doesn''t look like the file you mentioned above is part of this compressed group so maybe I need to get the file necessary to run the game elsewhere. Any clues?

Spoiler

when I gave him the sardines I don't think he actually gave it to me, I think I clicked the hand on it and I was able to pick it up

I am having problems myself further on in the game as you can read in the bigger thread. So do me a favour if you get to Mars save the game there, I may need you to send me a saved game.

Joyce, I'll be glad to send you the saved game when I get to Mars. 
But back to the net and the fisherman, I don't see the net when I look at him and its not in my inventory, I'll need the net it to get the barnacle.

Thanks Joyce, the tips were helpful. I did have trouble in one area though. I gave Plee the fisherman in the white regent the sardines in the hope that he would give me something, like a net but he doesn't give me anything. When I ask him how he liked the sardines he says they were too small and he is hungry again..

Nope, no file with that name. I'm going to try and kill it and re-download it...

Which file did you click on to run?

I clicked on the Icon that says AGS (Adventure Game Studio run time...) I thought this ran the game. (the application) Just in case, the other files included with this are MS-DOS batch files and I think they are just part of the neccessary files needed to run the game. I also read the Readme text documnet but it was not much help.

help how i i pass the gatE?

This has already been answered but look at the gate closely. Some bars are different/apart.Ã,  Then touch them you will get a message (I think), then look for something in your inventory that will help you.Ã,  (small container

Hope this helps you.

Wow, I must be doing something wrong because I clicked on every vertical bar on the gate to the mansion and she keeps saying: the gate is locked. Sorry, I don't meant o be a lolo...

Great game, best I have played in a long time,Ã,  but I was really stuck so I decided to try the walkthrough. I couldn't open it because I don't have "Word" so I put it on a floppy and took it to another computer, opened it and saved it in "Wordpad". So anybody that is having this problem email me and I will gladly send it to you.

Joyce, if you would be so kind as to email me that walkthrough.    My email is: watsons006@hawaii.rr.com
Thanks a bunch

How do I get Night of the Hermit Talkie to work? When i downloaded it it just was a large file called sound.vox or something like that. How do I install it?

I'm getting a similiar problem with this game. I tried downloading it from the AGS website. It downloads ok but when I try to open the file it says"
Error, could not load this file. You must create and save a game first in room editor before you can use this engine. What does this mean?

Has anyone played this game yet. Its kind of cool but I am stuck on the part with the computer. What is the password?
I can't find any clue to it?

The washing machine door is closed shut and the machine doesn't work but I can't use the knife to open the washing machine door. When I do he says, "I can't get a grip on this."

Okay, I'm in the spaceship, where do I get the code to take off?

What do I need to set the fire?

OMG, you're right. Silly of me not to think of it. Now I need to know where to get a cup or glass so that I can make my brothers Hot Cherry drink. I tried the kitchen but no luck.

thank for taking your time but i discovered the walkthrough of Perils of poom.
This is a great game,luckely there are more of this kind of games.

Where do I find the walkthrough for this game? I can't get it off the AGS game website.

HUrrah, I got the 5cent piece to get out the door but am stuck again. How do you use the car navigation system? The map shows me the locations for home and work but how do I use them to get moving?  (reposted because I got no reply since 11/27/04)
