is this level are you supposed to start with only the pistol and whip, no other weapons and no machine parts.

I think this is a bug in the game because in my items I have only the lighter, but i can't bring it up, the chalk does not appear, but the 'k' button will allow me to draw on the walls

has this happened to anyone else, is it supposed to be like this?

That's strange, you surpose to have 2 machineparts, the chalk and weapons. So, I have a saved game for you from the start of level 9. If you want it, mail me. Bye

Yes, this happened to me exactly the same.
The reason was, as I assume, that in previous
levels the game crashed too often.
And this, in turn, happened because of the
hardware problems I told about in my posting
from June 7, 2000.
After I overcame the hardware problems
(please refer to the named posting, it is
titled "Common Game Problems") it was the
first time I came over this point - but first
I had to start from the beginning (I tried
some of the savegames but the failure was
persistent).
I actually deinstalled everything, installed
it from scratch, applied the 1.02 patch and
found myself back in the Canyonlands. When I
finally returned to Teotihuacan - voila! -
my inventory was complete.
