Could you please help me find what I am doing wrong when I do a 'search' for a specific game? Sometimes I get 4-5 results as if no one else has ever played a specific game, but if I go back and start looking for that specific game (it happened on many games) in the 'hints' forum from the last page and going forwards, I find many (up to 49 'hints'). I know I am doing something wrong, but do not know what?

Hope I'm in the right forum   if not please let me know where I should post this question?  Thanks

Hi, Sunshinegold!Ã, 

Thanks, I didn't know there was a zipped file: silly of me! The pwd, I got it from the author's website:
http://the-makers.tripod.com/
http://the-makers.tripod.com/witchnight.htm
There's another other game from the same author, Escape from Salem Moon, but I dind't like it too much; there's a walkthru for Escape at a link from first post by Aga at this subforum.

I think I downloaded the game via agsforums, but I'll try to download again from the above site. Yeah, it has the file, I saw it right now!
Thanks a lot, I wouldn't be able to finish it without you!Ã, 

Well, there are so many great games available at agsforums that most can be just "forgotten"! Now I started coming to hints & tips section to see what games people is playing, and if they like(d) them, to download & play them, tooÃ, 

Glad I could help

And you are right, you can find so many good games through this forum.  I do the same, I go through the 'hints' files to find new/old games.  Also the members are very helpful. I'm so glad I found this forum. :

Sometimes I go back to the last pages and work my way up and find games that were very popular at one point so I download them. 

I'm sure there are quite a few new members that have not yet heard of these games and get interested when they see new posts.

Hi for you both!

Well, I'm stuck at the same place Hayleigh is. Well, I'm playing at least seven adventure games at the same time in my spare time, and jump from one to another...

Sunshinegold, why don't you try the search option? Uff, I used to search ALL forty etc pages when I was not registered, as the search option wasn't very helpful. But as a member it works just GREAT! YEAH!

Thanks a lot for your big help with Chez Apa! Just place apa or Apa (it can be case sensitive) in the search box, ok, Sunshinegold ;-)?

Yes I agree with you. I use it all the time and try to tell new members to use 'search' as much as possible. I was very happy when I first became a member when a fellow  member informed me as to how to use the 'search' option, but somehow sometimes it does not work for me.  Like for APA or CHEZ APA, I did not get good results from 'search' and I could not believe that hardly any members had played that game so that's how I went back to the end of the forum and went from page 45 to page 26 where I found the walkthru and finished the game.  I don't know why the 'search' does not work all the time. I might be doing something wrong, but I don't know what?  (If anyone knows why I don't always get good results, please let me know). It is so much easier when it does work. You can then print all the 'hints' and find the clues you are looking for.  As I  said before, when you are stuck in a game at 2 or 3:00 am you don't always have a fellow member sitting right there waiting to help you.

Sorry again, but had <div class="spoiler">to see page code to try to get that spoiler code. Hope it had worked now</div>

Hi again Primus.Ã,  We seem to be the only 2 trying to play this game.

Ok your password is the right one. When I used it I could open and download the walkthru.Ã,  I don't know where you got it from because I could not find it myself. I must have downloaded it at the same time as the game.Ã,  Ã, I guess I got the zip file from the web site but it was not easy to get there.Ã, 

The walkthru is very simple?

If you cannot find it or download it, send me another 'hint' and I will answer you.Ã,  Sorry I don't know how else I can help.Ã,  If it wasn't for you, I would not have the walkthru.

I am in the club, i have a broom & salt shaker. I put matches under the snooker table. I haven't got a clue about wot to do next. I need a cue, i cant get into the back room cuz the bar man keeps telling me to keep away and i need something to play snooker wot is valuable. I have searched this site looking for answers and i cannot find any can any1 help me?

I did a 'search' for CHEZ APA and got a few clues.Ã,  I am stuck in back room and am trying to open safe.Ã,  I have not found the cue neither.

Use salt shaker on peanuts - punch barman and get his nose ring-
talk to everyone you can.Ã,  I am still going through old pages of this forum, and I hope I'll get the answers I'm looking for.Ã,  Some members have played these games a long time ago, so it's worth going back to old pages and check their hints.

Hope we get lucky.

Hey I wasn't kidding about going back in this forum.Ã,  I went directly to the last page (45) and then to page 44 and 43 and so on and I am finding answers.

Now I know we will find the hints we are looking for.

Look on page 26. I found a walkthru

Use your thorn on the door behind the alley.

Dear Sunshinegold:

You're welcome :-)
Sorry, but I'm also stuck where you are...
I reloaded an old save and in the bedroom it seems nothing can be done, as in the bedroom. Hope someone can help us both from now on...Ã, 

At the author's site there's a password for an walkthru, I think, but the only thing it says is "copy to clipboard", and nothing else. Sorry again.

And that command, is it like this:

?

Thanks Primus.   Yeah I got that too but cannot unzip walkthru as I don't know where to get the password

Hope someone will come along and help us both. 

I get this message up when i clicked on your link

Angelfire does not allow direct linking
from offsite, non-Angelfire pages,
to files hosted on Angelfire.
This practice of 'remote linking' reduces
our ability to serve out the homepages
of our members quickly and efficiently.

What should i do?

It's ok it works now!!!

Could you please tell me how you managed to get the game?  I cannot find it . I get Angelfire site but cannot see the game

Hi, Sunshinegold

It's a fine game, I suppose. I played it a few time ago, and I'm still stuck at its very end.

[spoil]
You must combine wire and antenna, and use both with tree.[/spoil].

Hope this can help you.

:)Thank you Primus, with your hint I managed to get ahead in the game but I am stuck again.  I got the voodoo doll but lost it again in tub.  I am left with only the knife. The girl puked on the floor and has left the room. I put stuff in punch bowl.

Now I am just going around in circles.  I can't talk to nobody, nobody is moving from the room (1 couple + 1 guy). I can't get out because I have unfinished business. I go back upstairs, cannot go back in bedroom (door is locked) and I can't get anything from the bathroom.

Can you help me again :'(

Has anyone tried this game?  Is this game any good?

Either I'm very tired but I am stuck at the beginning with wire, knife and antenna. I cannot go anywhere. 

Can anyone help?

Once more, an new version is up -_- At least from the secondary url (http://www.anime.com.au/Katt/misc/cirque.zip) as I don't have access to the other ftp account just yet. Both links should point to the new version by tonight.

v1.3 - Hopefully, I've fixed the cottage door problem, the dog turning into a blue cup problem and the problem that allowed you to get to the island without getting the fishing rod. They all baffled me, there didn't seem to be any specific thing wrong that I could see, but I think I've managed to get around them anyway.

If there are any more problems, PLEASE let me know. ^_^ Argh, this is so frustrating. When I make my next game, I'll know better than to release the game without checking things thoroughly.

There were some bugs but your game was REALLY good;)  Hope you make a new game SOON

I'm in the room with the laser gateway but can't seem to get passed (or go back) - can anyone help?

Spoiler

I have the orange, zapper, 2 keys, sledge hammer, keycard and plunger

[close]

My game froze after I got rid of the laser.  Is this what happened to you?   did you fix it and could you continue the game

Well here it is , This has everything you could ever wish for in a game, humour , violence , spelling errors.. Ã, 

I hope you love it to bits, It was really rushed towards the end to get it finished for today , but I am going to polish up real nice and may even release a talkie version if you guys like it!! 740 ish K

Download it from here

or visit the site directly

Sorry but both links do no work for me.  Would have liked to try your new game. 

i think I'm near the end but does anyone know how i get the crowbar out of the soft toy thing? Ive tried everything with it but i cant get it out at all. I cant even use the eye on it in the inventry. Is this a bug?

I think that when the time comes to use the crowbar you will not have a problem, like in the 99cents store?

can anyone help me wit songo i have done everything i can think of i have been 2 the bar, the centre of the city, the park and the hotel! i cant get the lawyer hes not answering his fone and i put a note in wally wisers mail box firing him but i dont know anything else to do!?!?!

This was another very popular topic. If you do a 'search' in this forum, I believe you will find all the answers you need.  Go through prior pages, it will help.

Okay, now I'm on day 2 but the panel doesn't do anything? Ã, Do I need to use something with it?

This game was a 'hot' topic for quite a few days.  You should  look at pages 11, 12, 13 etc., or make a 'search' at the top of this forum.  Plus you could look at page 1 for a walkthru.  I am sure that you will find more help than you expected. 

I don't mind at all if people write walkthroughs for my game - in fact, kudos to you Glarandel! I'd prefer it if people tried to solve the puzzles themselves but we all need the help of a walkthrough at some point or another. I was too busy living life and fixing all the many bugs that plagued the game's earlier days right after finishing it to write a walkthrough myself. I was always planning on doing it after things calmed down a bit but I have no problems with people takng the initiative themselves.

Your game was great and I hope you'll have time for either another game or a sequel to this one.

Thats a great little game! Ã, One thing is certain if the music doesn't drive you insane doing it over and over again will ! Ã, 

Where did you get this game?

I agree. Its like smoking or any other harmful habit. er.....on second thought, maybe smoking isn't the right analogy, but you get my point. (Walkthroughs don't give you cancer or turn your lungs into gooey blobs of tar.) Generally I don't download the newest games and then try and find all the answers for the tough puzzles on the Hints forum before I even begin playing, but I bet some people do. I DO use walkthroughs (when available) when I get really stuck and I don't feel like spending and hour trying to decipher a problem which won't make much sense once I solve it anyway.

As far as walkthroughs go, they are VERY good things which benifet everybody. Why you ask?
1. The player doesn't need to spend hours searching through page after page in the forums to seek the exact thing they have a question to. (because we yell at them if they start a new thread. )
2. Players don't need to repeatedly answer the same questions over and over again.
3. I've had this happan to me time and time and time and time again. While searching for the exact hint I need, all the other events in the game which I havn't seen yet become clear from the other questions.

"Hey! Does anyone know how to open the locked door in the secret tunnel under the circus which you can only get to once you pass through the jungle of dispair and desert of ultimate chaos? Because all I have is the pack of condoms and a foam bat."

GAH! I didn't even know there WAS a desert....and now the whole game is spoiled!

and 4........it saves space on the forums so there isn't need of so many threads.

Anyway....thats my little speach. I don't see one thing wrong about walkthroughs or why there shouldn't be one. Its just the same as this hints forum, only alot more efficent. And like smoking, go a head and do it if you want, but don't blow the smoke in my direction. I can buy my own cigerattes if I want to kill the fun.

I agree.  Some games are easy and others are not. But depending on your state of mind sometimes what was easy yesterday may not be so clear today.  Or may what someone finds easy may not be that easy for someone else. 

When you start playing a game, you don't want to miss/bypass anything so walkthrus can be very helpful.  Now again you DON'T HAVE TO USE the walkthrus, it's your choice. But I do believe that a walkthru should be available with every new game, when it is still fresh in the author's mind.

For myself, if I am in the middle of a game and concentring on it, and get stuck, I should appreciate it if I can look at my print of the walkthru instead of quitting my game and go search if there are any hints in the forum relating to exactly where I am stuck.

I am submitting these comments in a very friendly way because I REALLY enjoy this forum.  I myself feel great when I can help other players but it is frustrating if you get stuck at 1:00 am and there is nobody to read my question until maybe the next day at 8:00 pm. So walkthrus are GOOD and free to USE OR NOT.

where is the flower???, i cannot find it in the forest!!

In the woods, go west, there is a small bridge if I recall correctly, cross bridge and go west again.  Hope this helps.  It has been quite a while that I have played this game.
