What we have here is a perfect example of the evils of walkthroughs. The reason you can't get the pass from Charlie yet is that Manny doesn't yet have a reason to start the conversation that leads to it. What you want to do is to go down to the dock...  [Read More]

And what on Earth would you need cheats for? Unlimited ammo? You've got that anyway. Manny can blast away at Hector forever (and miss every time). I think our bridge-haunting friend's gaming experience is limited to shooters to have the opinion he d...  [Read More]

That might work. Worth a shot, anyway. I wonder, though, about the 'health' of the system. Even if GF is the only program that seems to be behaving strangely, I might suspect that it might be a Windows problem IF it's an old installation (a year or s...  [Read More]

Originally posted by GendoTheGreat When you say you can't install the patch, what goes wrong exactly? There are games (Ultima IX being one) that can't be patched if you don't have a legitimate copy. Don't know if GF works that way but I suppose it...  [Read More]

*Reaching back into possibly not-to-reliable memories* I'm sure they use quite a lot of programs. Since you're talking about background art, I'm sure they do a lot with Photoshop but with at least some games the backgrounds start as scanned artwork....  [Read More]

I think the soundtrack CD is no longer available. There's nothing that will emulate the looping that I know of. If you play around with SR some you will find that there is looping info along with the music. If you expand a music entry you see an iMU...  [Read More]

Annihilation is one option. (In fact, that's what actually happens to the soul after its four-year journey in Aztec mythology.) The other possibility is, I think, that the soul remains conscious but is incapable of any action...and therefore in great...  [Read More]

If you want all of the dialog, there's another way to get it. It's not exactly pretty and it's not in a script format, but it's more than complete. In the game's folder (and in the Grimdata folder on disk A) there is a file called grim.tab. You can...  [Read More]

My computer specs are similar to yours. There's no speed issue with the tumblers. Tall Guy is telling you what you need. And he's right: the flat sides of the tumblers face right. If you want, I can send you a screeshot of the correct alignment (I've...  [Read More]

You might be screwed. I don't know. It might depend on whether or not you've got SB16 emulation working. You need to have emm386 loading at startup for that to work correctly. But I'm doubtful that really matters....  [Read More]
