I'm in zone 2 and dont know what to do with fish delivery to the lake
 
well... I got the destination and just pressed E key.

seems I did wrong. nothing happens, paid no money at all.

do I have to wait there and the customer will pay?

If you press the E you kick the customer (or a bomb if you are about to deliver one to a destination) out of your cab. I think he also dies a horrible, painful death upon being ejected out of the seat in such a violent way. Shame upon you.
So no, your customer is gone and there won't be any money, but you can always find a new one.

Hi

at the moment i play this game for a while and have a question:

what can i do to get the password for the next level IN THE GAME. I know the passwords, but i want to find them by myself

Much thanks for any answer

I think you've got to accept to deliver a certain passenger who will then tell you the password when you delive him successfully. It's a certain kind of a delivery, if you fail at it you can find another passenger of the same kind once in a while. Just drive around a bit and pick them up, you'll get the right one soon enough.

It kinda reminds me of Carmageddon, but unfortunatly it's less fun :(

Scratch this - I just saw the manual in the game archive...
Didn't spot the bit at the end of the review that said it was there.

:mhh: I have the manual for this game, but it's the 3DO version... (lots of nice FMV in game and cutscenes)

The bulk of it's the same - the controls are different. Obviously.
Is it worth sticking on the FTP, minus the 3DO specific stuff. There's quite a lot of it.

(alright, maybe 10 pages.)

I can't run patched version (and from what I have read unpatched one gets you stuck with certain boss?).

It seems the problem is video card related. Normally I get flickering in Quarantine menus (but not in the 3D engine itself) in out-of-the-box version, but the patched executable copy protection screen is so garbled I can't enter answers (only one number is displayed out of two). Tried all dosbox vid card emulation configs, even tinkered with DOS4GW. My card is nVidia's GeForce FX 5600.

Now I recall where I got stuck 15 years ago... that damned Hoverboy!

Not only that boss is dangerous (had to repair myself 2 times!), but also hard to hit. Hide N'Shriek missiles won't track him (hit him with 6 or 8). Whole truckload of ammo went for nothing... When I finally managed to blow him up, the timer was out!

SPOILER
How to kill Hoverboy in unpatched version

Don't know what was fixed in the patch, but the quickest way to kill that guy was buying... that 4-barrel shotgun, Mr. Mulck. Just few salvos and he was gone!

Try these settings:

[cpu]
core=normal (dynamic messes some games up)
cputype=auto or cputype=386

[dos]
ems=false

RRS 16-06-2011 02:50 PM

Thanks, core=normal removed the flickering. The patch is still bugged, though.
