You don't really need to do anything with the conveyor belt and the crane until you're ready to leave the island. But if you really want to, leave the belt running downward and have Manny run up it. Just never, ever have the belt running upwards when...  [Read More]

I hope you save often because you're going to have to go back to before you started fooling with the crane. On the sea floor next to the conveyor belt is a switch. Flip it, which will cause the belt to start running in the opposite direction. The cha...  [Read More]

The reason probably is: they needed a foreign language for Toto, and someone knew Hungarian. And I'm sure Hungary's landlocked position doesn't prevent anyone from leaving the country traveling the world if that person so desires....  [Read More]

My take on Toto is that he's been around. Wherever he's from, he probably spent his life in various port cities and has picked up several languages. He's a gutter-cosmopolitan. Maybe they did pick Hungarian for Toto to bad-mouth people in another la...  [Read More]

A nameless port town lay on the edge of the Sea of Lament. It wasn’t actually nameless; in fact, it’s name was the only thing distinguishing from most of the other ports along the Sea of Lament. It’s name is simply unimportant. Like all the oth...  [Read More]

It could be a little of both. But first...have you installed the patch yet? If your processor is at least 400 MHz you must have the patch or you'll never get past this. Otherwise, you're on the right track where the forklift is concerned. Have you n...  [Read More]

The pumps. We love the pumps. Like Glottis says, you need to shake the tree down. His idea of putting rocks up there is a start but they're not nearly heavy enough. Or orange enough. Even with enough orange it's not enough to shake the tree down. W...  [Read More]

So, you talked to the boxing guy on Boxing Day. Well, well. Anyway, what you need to do is do what Manny wants to do: take a case. Since Domino (the boxing guy) gets all the good cases, you'll want to steal one of his. And cases are delivered throu...  [Read More]
