Very nice game,but it has a big problem: Without the right items you cant finish the game,so i will post here these items for who dont want to use a walktrough.

WARNIG SPOILER

You need these items in the inventory at begining of Act 5,otherwise you CANT complete the game

Wire, Snake lasso, Smelling salts, Lantern, FULL snake oil bottle, Cheese


Ok,now if you want the happy ending you need these items in the inventory before the end of the game:

Dagger of Amon Ra, Watney's police file, Ankh Medallion, Red hair, Pocket watch, Wire cutters, Carbon
paper, Bifocals, Pippin's notepad, a Garter, Grapes, Warthog hairs, and
Yvette's shoe.

Thats all,Enjoy the game

Could anybody help me with a problem, please? I have installed the game and it functions rather well, but if I try to save it while playing, it starts to slow down and takes an enormous amount of time to find the folder which contains the savegame files and the same time to save it. Since this is a game in which a player has to save very often, all these slowdowns can become extremely annoying. Do you know it there is any patch that can solve the problem? I can't find any on internet.

Running it in Windows or in DOSBox?

It was in DOSbox, but I tried it in Windows just now and it seems to run faster, and not only during saving. It is strange though, because everywhere where I read about the game, it is said DOSbox shoud run faster. But in the Windows version, when I try to speak with characters or open the notebook, most of the screen becomes black.

I've played the game 2 times and i havent seen the bug you're talking about,anyway, for the third times,this is the only patch we have found.

I just decided to start the game over from the beginning and I followed a walkthrough until I got to the part where the game usually froze, this time I didn't have the problem, very strange. It must only occur when you do things in a particular order or haven't done certain things before the exchange with Yvette Delacroix happens. I wish I knew exactly what caused the glitch.

Still a great game though, it's a shame they never made a Laura Bow III.

Hi guys, just downloaded game, but no sound! It had an error message right at the beginning, and now I don't know how to get the sound!

I am on windows XP, can someone pls advise me on what to do, but really dumb it down for me because I am not super computer savy! :amused:

Download DOSbox and create a shortcut to it in the same folder as your game files. Then drag the executable across the shortcut, and presto! Sound! (alt+enter for fullscreen, btw). And that's about the extent of my DOSbox skills.
