Hints & Tips / Submerged - LaSol
Sun 27/02/2011 09:50:51
Having some trouble here, I can't keep the water from blasting me against the glass.
Spoiler

I've put the two blocks of wood and hammered them in place, but after a while they chip and give in anyway.

I've shutdown the valve inside "the floor" and turned off the electricity from the fusebox. I've gotten the radio to work, but the rescue team doesn't arrive.

Hints & Tips / The Demonic Dollhouse
Sat 16/10/2010 16:27:50
I'm stuck towards the end, I believe.

Spoiler

The closet monster is escaping from the TV. I've collected some more green goo and ran upstairs, but I can't figure out what to do, so I end up dying time and over again.

Hints & Tips / sync::routine
Sun 08/08/2010 08:35:40
Nice game, I'm not finding it very hard, however I got stuck with the password.
Spoiler

I have the note from Miller's jacket, and his username, but I can't figure out the password. Although I assume the underlined letters have to be entered as numbers, I don't see the relationship with the two four-letter words hint on the wall.

Hints & Tips / The Astonishing Captain Skull
Sat 31/07/2010 08:21:33
What a nice game! I find the puzzles are a bit contrived, though. Currently I'm stuck here:
Spoiler

I need to figure out the section number in the archives so the captain will go fetch the ghost file. I've tried talking to everybody and showing them the file notes, to no avail. I presume it has something to do with Compu-Tor, but I cannot figure out how to use it.

Hints & Tips / Too Many Kittens
Mon 15/02/2010 09:06:22
Another mood-lifting game by thecatamites!

I'm stuck at 8 kittens out of 10.
Spoiler

How do I catch the gerbil? I have the crowbar and the sack (with grain?). I assume I need the gerbil to get the kitten in the "perpetual motion" machine and that's all that's apparently left.

Thanks!

Hints & Tips / Mr. Danger's Contest
Wed 27/05/2009 20:13:30
I just started and I'm already stuck :-(

Spoiler

I'm just outside the cell, with a metal thing floating above my head. I tried everything with everything I could find, to no avail.

I have no idea what to do.

Hints & Tips / Biggles on Mars
Sat 28/02/2009 09:46:31
I got stuck near the beginning. I feel a bit silly, because I looked up in a walkthrough the next step to follow, but it doesn't help.

Spoiler

I stole the shoehorn, but then I didn't know what to do with it. The walkthrough says "leave the shop and use the shoehorn on the trapdoor on the right to go underground," but I don't see any trapdoors, or any other thing that could resemble a trapdoor, or anything at all I could use the shoehorn with.

Hints & Tips / Ache Quest
Sat 11/08/2007 23:34:58
Hi, I'm stuck in the big cave.

Spoiler

How do I draw blood from the basilisc?

I hit it with the brick already, but that didn't seem to make any difference.

Someone mentioned an arrow, but I wouldn't know where to get one.

Thanks!

I'm stuck as Elizabeth on the deck of the ghost ship for the second (or third? time).

Spoiler

What do I do to get the prison key for "Ghost pirate 4?" I gave the monkey a banana, but that didn't seem to help. I went back to the other ship and I got another rope and bra, but I couldn't do anything with it either.

Thanks.

Hints & Tips / Snake
Mon 05/02/2007 02:43:48
I'm stuck near the end and I couldn't find any hints or any other information about the game whatsoever.

Spoiler

How do you get a lemon to power the coffee maker? I believe I have everything else I need in order to make coffee.
[close]

I also was wondering...
Spoiler

... whether it's important or not to pick up both hands. I happen to have trapped only one of them, and can't figure out how to get the second one, although I suspect I should have set the trap when both were on the screen.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm currently proofreading a translation for a soon-to-be-released game, and I'd like to try the corrected translation as I go. Is it possible to use the raw translation file to that end instead of having to send it to the developer every time? It would really help to see that dialogs have good cadence (i.e., that the characters don't repeat each others' words, etc.) and so I can progressively test each screen as I go, without bothering the developer all the time.

If this is not currently possible, could it be implemented?

Thanks a lot.

Hints & Tips / P.I. Al Luminum: Haunted House
Sat 28/10/2006 02:49:43
The game looks really nice, but unfortunately I'm stuck towards the beginning:
Spoiler

I have the rib bone and the note. The "kids" are waiting outside for a treat.

I tried finding a weak spot in the railing, I looked areas that I might have missed, I tried using the bone to poke through the cell, the walls, etc. to no avail. I hope I didn't hit one of the potentially fatal bugs.

I even tried climbing to the roof through the chimney, but the imp says I'm too old to pass. I think I should give him the medicine, but it fell through the bathroom sink and the fish ate it.

Where is the kitchen in this game?

[Edited to add senseless clutter and at least one irrelevant question. I know, I know... I should be getting some sleep of doing my German homework instead of playing computer games. Please don't disregard the first question, as I'm really stuck and I'd love to finish the game before voting for the MAGS competition. Also, I'm envious because we don't celebrate Halloween where I live.]

Hints & Tips / The Last Harvest
Sun 23/04/2006 00:51:04
Hi all,

I'm stuck close to the end of the game (or so it seems):

Spoiler

I have the following items:
diary, gun, staff, two white kings and two black ones, a pearl necklace, a hook, a chunk of coal, two silver rings and the feather (down).

I have tried everything I can think of, and I still don't get the fourth quest. I think I'm supposed to crush the chess kings to a powder, but I can't figure out how.

Any hints will be very appreciated.

General Discussion / Where can I get AGS DOS?
Sun 16/10/2005 06:39:37
I'm sorry if this question has been asked a thousand times, but neither the forums' search feature nor google.com helped me find the answer:
Where do I get older releases of AGS, mainly the DOS version?

I use Linux, but my "modern" system can only successfully run the latest released AGS for Linux, so no luck running older games with it. Wine has some mouse-handling bugs that make the Windows interpreter completely unusable, therefore I have to resort to dosbox and the DOS interpreter, but I can't find it anywhere. I don't even see the DOS interpreter inside the AGS 2.7 archive available for download currently.

Your help is very much appreciated.

I seem to have triggered a bug that causes games get saved in the save game dialog. When you load it, you find yourself in the save game dialog again. This causes weird stuff when saving many games, as the game seems to remember some games and some not (not very sure about this one, though). I've seen this with AGS 2.70 (v2.70.864) for Linux, within two different games.

First time happened a few days ago playing Emily Enough; it only happened towards the second half of the game. Now I see it happen with Two of a Kind, which I just began. Here I can reproduce it every time in the initial room, before moving or anything; I just save the game at the very beginning.

Once it happens, it seems to stick; in other words, next time you save the game, you'll find yourself in the save dialog again upon loading the savegame.

It didn't happen to me with Apprentice 1 and 2, or Soviet-Unterzögersdorf and I haven't played other games recently.
