Got hit with a stray brick :( Then the world 'sploded
"Jayne, this is something the Captain has to do for himself"

"N-No it's not!"

"Oh."

Yah, I managed to stop the bulldozer... but then either I get up and get hit with the brick, or I lay there for too long and the world gets destroyed.

This game is hard.

What do you do once you get to the bulldozer?
I was sitting down blocking it, tried everything, sat up to attempt something else then he drove into my house.

Okay, here's how you get past the bulldozer part.

To make the bulldozer stop, just type "stop bulldozer" and you will lay down in front of it. Then, type "stay" a couple of times, and eventually the bulldozer will stop. When Ford appears, DON'T take the towel. Instead, offer him things (toothbrush, screwdriver), and he will go and talk to what's-his-name. Type "stay" again, and what's-his-name will come and lay down in front of the bulldozer for you. Then, you can follow Ford to the pub. After this, I can't figure out what to do.

take drinks until your house is knocked down. then wait a few times. you'll rush outside. after the announcement, wait again. he'll drop a small device. grab it, and then push the green button. but don't dilly dally. Grab device, examine device, push button, green.

Then you'll wake up in the dark, so pay attention to what your senses tell you. when you realize that there's a figure, use said sense on it to identify it. Then you'll be where I am.

Oh, and always try waiting. Even if you think it'll kill you. You'd be surprised.

How'd you get past the announcements ? Also, hint: you want to be thrown out of the airlock.

[edit: nevermind, after typing stay and various other things for 20 moves, I finally took my robe off and the guards burst in. ]

I say we write up a walkthrough for the game after we're all done here :)

I concur. Although one might already exist online SOMEWHERE that has Commodore walkthroughs.

I searched for a while but found nothing. This means, of course, that it does not exist. We must change that.

I'll keep looking.

Great game! I haven't played that in a loooong time. I remember that I absolutely loved the Babel fish puzzle.
That painting was a gift, Todd. I'm taking it with me.
2004-10-31, 10:27 AM #33
I played this a good eight to ten years ago, and I somehow managed to get the babelfish and get the vector plotter (or come damn close), without any hints or walkthroughs. Last night I couldn't do it without any walkthroughs. :/

I have to start over though. I'm on the little quests in between the sets of darkness, one inparticular that is annoying me is the one where the entire fleet gets swallowed by a small Earth dog because I forgot to feed him a cheese sandwich.
